    Digicipher 2 FTA

    ADVERTS 1
    Forgive my ignorance but I am just starting with this.

    My question is, would it be possible to have a PCi DVB card pick up on Digicipher 2 FTA signals? Or are they totally different species?

    Good question. I want to know this.

    I think Motorola is the manufacturer of 4DTV. They should make a 4DTV "Digicipher 2" smart card.

    According to the
    TSReader's site


    you can Decodes MPEG-2 tables with DVB, ATSC and Digicipher II extensions. But they don't mention which DVB cards are compatible.

    You can not decrypt a DC2 signal to make it useable.

    The TSReader software can see the associated tables, but can't decrypt the signal.

    I don't have my cband dish set up yet, so I might not fully understand, but I thought the FTA digicipher channels would work like FTA DVB channels. Isn't digicipher just an extension of the MPEG2 standard like DVB? I can see why the encrypted channels wouldnt' work though.

    Digicipher is a method of encryption and transmission.
    Even the signals that are FTA can only be received by an authorized receiver.
