Hi I am wondering if anyone can help me as I am a complete novice to this and premised a friend I would look it up fir him.

My m8 has a AMSTRAD DRX200 with a fixed dish (I don’t know the direction) and is paying someone £30 per month for a SILVERCARD to get programmed to access channels. I told him no way should he be paying that hence this post for some help.

What I need to know is:
1. what type of card (silver, gold or fun card etc)
2. what type of info it uses (SECCA, etc)
3. what type of hex to put on the card (I dunno if he is using any kind of different CAM to the original STB)

basically as much info as poss.

I would be so grateful of someone could help me out.

Thanks.
