Technotrend Premium cards very cheap (update 2)


I had found a shop that sells Technotrend Premium cards very, very cheap (49 € + IVA 16% and shipping) but where is the trick ? This cards are an old release from Technotrend called Data Only cards, but this cards are exactly the same as a classical SS1 with hardware MPEG2 decoder but without the connectors to extract the video signal.

But don't worry it is very easy to extract the signal from the card, it has some holes where the original connectors should be soldered, you only need to solder them and you get a full featured SS1 card by half of its usual price.

Here you can see a not very good photo showing the connectors, I will hope to get a better one when my card arrives.



I think the stock should be quite limited so hurry up.

Thanks to tatxen here there are some images about how to get RGB and composite signals from this cards:





I had received my card a few weeks ago, and finally here is a photo of the card with video and sound cables connected. The photo has been taken with a mobile so the quality is not very good :( It works fine.

I need your help (obsolete)

I need to be in touch with any of the NewCS or Newcamd authors in order to fix a problem with SECA in this software (others maybe affected too but never tested). The problem is not seriuos but avoids me, and other, from watching PPV events in my DreamBox.

So please, if you know any of the authors please tell him/her about contact me by email or any other communication medium (chat, IRC, ...). E-mails to joshyfun the usual sign of @ and gmail the usual dot and com.

Thank you to everybody.

PD: Done... not more help needed, thank you.
