Entering Biss Keys into Softcam

Post by Hank4 »

I need help learning how to enter biss keys in a softcam file for loading into a Super 8 or Nova. I have a fairly good understanding how to enter PowerVu keys but not biss. Is there an example or discussion here on how to enter biss keys via the softcam? Do you place a CW in front of the key string or how do you identify it as a biss key? I would rather enter the keys via softcam not manually.
Thanks Hank

If you have the code for a BISS channel, start by being on that channel and then go to the BISS menu and press green for "ADD".
All the other info is there, you just delete the 16 zeros and type in the new code.
Do this for each channel as the BISS softcam needs the SID of each channel with the code on a separate line.

In a softcam.key file on a PC you need to type the TP info in as well.
If you enter one code in the menu and then "Export" the softcam.key file you will see the format for BISS for that TP.

Softcam.key file BISS lines look like this:
