MrAlan: I've got my 17x card working almost flawlessly now. Works well in AltDVB using NDSCam 0.0.7 with a CMD value of 36 and an infinity card reader with the transparent boost set to 2.0. it occasionally drops a frame or two but the audio has been perfect, very watchable.
still having trouble getting it to work in mediaportal. when i load a sky channel ndscam starts working but mediaportal keeps coming back saying the channel is scrambled. worked fine with a 45x card....
wally5: Now that i have sky on my PC with legit sky card, a DM500 that does the same thing. Where do i go from here, like having one foot in the door, so do speak. Wouldnt mind networking PC or Dreambox to another room in house, is this legal, are we allowed to have a disgussion about this topic on this forum. Cheers

I think you guys should start creating different threads for different topics now - othewise this is getting too long and it will be hard to find information in so many off topic discussions.
Bump.
Can anybody now confirm that HD channels work with with a DVB-S2 card and 45xx card?
Sorry I cant I don't have a mysky
Just a tought for people with 17xx cards, theres a switch in the mdapifilter.ini (im using mdapifilter 2008) called "decryptonkeyonly=" i set it to "false" because newer versions of mdapi were not working well untill I did, It seems to have increased the stability for me a bit, also now when I try to tune channels I don't subscribe to it gives me just a black screen instead of saying channel is encrypted, which I find good as it used to crash mediaportal at times lol
I have noticed a couple of times now over a few weeks that displayed in the NDSCAM monitor the responce saying "Invailid Box ID" the only way I can get it working is to insert my otehr 45xxx card and leave the other one in a decoder for awhile.
It's not working 100% but it's workable now for me. Just turned off the STB yesterday even.
Just as a caveat this is my current setup and the limitations.
Vista Home Premium SP1
Mediaportal 1.0
MDAPI 2.2
NDSCAM 0.7
Infinity Unlimited USB Card Reader using VCP (freq 3.680 acceleration 2.0)
Sky 45xx card provided with a Sky HDi STB
I've managed to get rid of the 10sec jump with this setup by changing the CMD= line in NDSCAM to 36 and increased the deliverysize to 1500000 in the MDAPI settings. I'm not sure whether any of the changes I've made actually make a difference but they seem to work so until I find out otherwise they can stay for now.
Now for the stuff that isn't working totally.
The jumps are still there but they're maybe once every 5 mins now and don't seem to be too bad. They also seem to be worse on the HD channels with jumps on the SD channels pretty much gone. I still get two jumps in the first 20 secs on the HD channels but then it settles down so don't watch it for 20 secs and get annoyed like I used to.
The EPG is my big pain at the moment. I'm getting now and next EPG entries but nothing else and these are only getting picked up when an EPG scan is being done. So until I figure this out I'll keep showing the SD channels which are displaying the EPG just fine. Since I've only got a single DVB-S card I can't put the SD channels on one card and the HD on the other and combine the channels to do the old EPG combine trick. If someone had another suggestion other than an XML importer let me know. Can't be bothered with them now.
Channel changes take about 5 secs which is a bit longer than the freeview channels but then the technotrend s2-3200 seems to take longer than other cards to change anyway so your time will most prob be quicker.
Hope this helps.

Still ironing out some bugs with DVBSBridge... Had it working perfectly, but then I tried to "fix" it... :)
