There's been some posts in the past from people who have had success in getting a FireDTV DVB-C decoder to work with their TelstraClear SmartCard.
To review what I've learned thus far:
* The TelstraClear Digital Cable SmartCard is encrypted with IRDETO II, and can be decoded by a DVB-C compatible decoder that can decrypt IRDETO II.
* While the TelstraClear decoder (ADB 3000) is fixed to only work with the SmartCard, the SmartCard is not fixed to the decoder.
* IRDETO II Cams can be purchased from http://www.freeviewshop.co.nz/ here in NZ.
Here's my question:
Has anyone discovered the Symbol Rate for the TCL DVB-C cable signal?
My Elgato 610 decoder, which is a re-branded FireDTV, has not been able to get a signal yet from TCL. Based on my diggings, it appears that this is because I need to manually set the Symbol Rate...Not that I understand what a Symbol Rate is, but apparently the decoder needs 2 things to tune into a station: 1) the frequency, and 2) the Symbol Rate.
Any help much appreciated.
Cheers,
James
