Hi all,
I attempted to post this previously but got banned, obviously due to my lack of understanding of the difference between a CAM and an emulator. Anyone who read the thread properly would have realised that I was asking a perfectly innocent question about using a legitimate, paid up, smart card with a VU+ zero box in the same way as I did with my old Optimax box. Nothing illegal here, just trying to get the smart card read by what I assumed was a CONAX compliant receiver.
So, I'll post again and attempt to remove any reference to anything that may be naughty.

I recently purchased a VU+ zero to replace my current (Opticum HD X110p) satellite receiver as I was fed up with the poor user interfaces of standard satellite receivers.
The VU+ zero certainly addresses my concerns with respect to the user interface, although the issue I face is that I can't get it to work with my Polish "telewizja na karte" smart card which uses the CONAX system.
Before purchasing the VU+ zero I read that it supports the CONAX system:
"All units support Conaxconditional access (CA) system, with software-emulated conditional-access modules (CAMs) available for many alternate CA systems"
However, when I insert my "telewizja na karte" smart card into the VU+, I still can't access any encoded Polish stations. Moreover, the Opticum unit allowed me to view my subscription status, etc. This doesn't seem to be possible with the VU+.
Can anyone suggest how I may be able to get my VU+ zero to recognise my CONAX compliant card (LEGAL, VALID smart card and subscription)?
Thanks in advance,
Dominic.
