4800II as second decoder for AU*TAR

Tosca · #1 (**permalink**) 08-12-2004

I have a mate with a 4800II from the bad ol' days. I'm a legit subscriber to AU*TAR. I am wondering if I can use the 4800II as a second decoder. I will be simply pulling the card out of the main STU & putting it in the 4800II in my bedroom.

Will it work? Do I have to get an updated cam? etc etc

TIA

If its like F=xtel, the cards are married by serial number to the set top box.
Good luk.

The Au*tar card will work in the 4800II with a ird*to cam.

Good luk.

AUSTAR STBs are married to the spongebobs, not spongebob married to the STB. Hence you can take spongebob and put in any non austar irdeto capable stb. It works for my two spongebobs in my toppy and UEC.
