Dear sir,

I would like to know if it will work with my two decoders, using my regular Italian Sly subscription. The system is based on NDS encryption like in England.

The decoders that I own are: a Dreambox 7000 and the official one distributed by Sly Italia (Pace tds850ns).

Thank you for your time and your attention.

Regards

Certainly that works

Hi Turku,
I've received the Hydrabox but it DOESN'T WORK WITH NDS!!!
If I'm wrong let me know how I have to behave.


Bye

I too have just bought a Hydrabox base unit & 3 client cards & it does not work with Sky UK NDS subscription card. I have used the wireless client cards in a Dragon CAM with predator 3.69 & T.Rex Supermodule with Predasaur 2.29.

It seems to be a problem with the base station not sharing the card properly as an old expired Firecrypt card is shared correctly at least the client wireless card is seen as a Firecrypt card in the CAM. I tried with an IRDETO subscription card & that didn't work either.

Apparently a CAM or receiver that supports Firecrypt is required so the client card will not work in a Dreambox or Sky Italia receiver but should work with a Dragon or T.Rex CAM.

What do I need to do to get this working as advertised?

Hi all

As fare as I can read the info about HydraBox, they only so fare support the FireCrypt encryption.
Then, what is the us of HydreaBox?
As fare as I know, only 1 or 2 erotic channales use firecrypt encryption.

Conclution so fare is that HydraBox cannot work with operatores using NDS, Nagravision, Viaccess, Conax, Seca MediaGuard, Cryptoworks etc.

(Look for SmartWi, that might solve your problems)
