Greetings.
A friend bought a ue55tu7172 but since it's not for the italian market it doesn't have the "tivusat" support (menu and/or LCN feature for satellite) for tuning the italian tv from satellite.
So I found out that the same tv is sold for the italian market as the ue55tu7170, and it's officially supported by "tivusat".
I found that it's the same identical model since I downloaded the latest firmware upgrade and it's the same file (also compared with "Merge" on Windows)!
I tried to search on the service menu but I didn't find any clue, so I left it untouched.
Please help me, thanks!

Have you boght the cam and an active sim-card and tryed to put it in the tv?
Tivusat, like sky, works with this additional hardware that usually is not sold with the tv.
I think it's not question of certification or model, try it.

Of course I tried with the original 4k smarcam and the smart card (we call a sim card the cellphone ones), and not only didn't work, but it doesn't matter on the LCN support.niklocastro wrote: ↑Thu Dec 17, 2020 5:18 pm Have you boght the cam and an active sim-card and tryed to put it in the tv?

Re: Transform a tu7172 to a tu7170
Maybe it depends on the smartcam you are using,
usually when you plug it in you can see in the option->trasmission the "common interface" key enabled if the tv has recognized the new hardware.
Forget about the lcn during the channel search, you can manual order your channel and save the list on a usb key,
i think the problems you shoud focus are:
- recognized new hardware by the tv when cam plugged in?
- smart card subscription is yet active?
- CAM and smartcard are working well on another tv?
- is the tv making you the ability to select CAM for decrypt an encrypted channel?
Hope it helps,

This is the *SMARCAM* (not "smartcam" :p) I tried to use: https://www.tivusat.tv/pages/prodotti/c ... vusat.aspxniklocastro wrote: ↑Sat Dec 19, 2020 11:11 am Maybe it depends on the smartcam you are using,

I don't think it wouldn't be compatible. Anyway I don't remember what was in that menu/submenu, it was some months ago the last time I tried.
Eh no: I need the LCN support, that's why I opened this thread, because the tv is not mine and I don't have time to do channel sorting: LCN is for that purpose and I absolutely need the feature. The CAM support would be secondary to that.Forget about the lcn during the channel search, you can manual order your channel and save the list on a usb key,
Can't remember so much but as far as I recall, it seemed so.i think the problems you shoud focus are:

Yes, the card was used in a Tivusat stb.- smart card subscription is yet active?
Didn't try it yet since the cam and the included card (not the one I tried above, that one was his own) are mine. I bought it to use with a new tv I bought but not yet setup.- CAM and smartcard are working well on another tv?
Normally this is automatic.- is the tv making you the ability to select CAM for decrypt an encrypted channel?
Thanks, but the main problem to me is the LCN support, THEN the cam support.Hope it helps,
