FAQ
TL;DR: After NC+ changes, 0 non‑original decoders or splitters work; "Your card has stopped working in the SECA system." Enigma2 differs. [Elektroda, Anonymous, post #17282105]
Why it matters: NC+ users on Ferguson Ariva or Diviso Air who lost encrypted channels can see causes and workable paths.
Quick Facts
- Ariva shows only free-to-air channels when the NC+ card is inserted after the change. [Elektroda, MQKris, post #17280654]
- NC+ introduced content protection and published an approved decoder list; Ariva isn’t on it. [Elektroda, MQKris, post #17280472]
- "No splitter and non-original decoder will work" when the card runs Nagravision only. [Elektroda, Anonymous, post #17282105]
- Confirmed workaround: nbox/ADB 5800S (BSKA) on Enigma2 works with Diviso. [Elektroda, MQKris, post #17432314]
- Diviso LED blinking green indicates permissions are transmitted from the master card. [Elektroda, MQKris, post #17282059]
Why did my Ferguson Ariva stop working with the NC+ card?
NC+ shifted the card to Nagravision, which blocks SECA operation. That disables free‑market decoders and splitters. The post states, "Your card has stopped working in the SECA system." It also adds, "It's different about decoders on Enimgma." This explains why Ariva lost encrypted channels while some Enigma2 setups still function. [Elektroda, Anonymous, post #17282105]
Does the Diviso Air splitter still work with current NC+ cards?
Not with Nagravision‑only cards. The guidance is explicit: "no splitter and non‑original decoder will work" in that state. This means Diviso won’t restore decryption when used with Ariva. Enigma2 decoders are a separate case per the same source. [Elektroda, Anonymous, post #17282105]
My original NC+ decoder still works—what does that imply?
It indicates the card remains supported on the operator’s hardware. One user confirms the card works in WiFiBox+, but notes that model is not supported by Diviso. Operator decoders stay authorized even when free‑market devices fail. [Elektroda, MQKris, post #17282138]
Can an ADB/nbox 5800S (BSKA) with Enigma2 and Diviso restore viewing?
Yes. One user confirmed, "BSKA on Enigma worked with the Diviso splitter." That provides a viable path if you need multiroom‑like viewing without NC+ Multiroom. Statistic: 1 user confirmed this exact workaround in the thread. [Elektroda, MQKris, post #17432314]
Does Pace 500GB on Enigma2 work with Diviso?
Reported yes. A user migrated Pace 500GB to Enigma2 and wrote it "works well with Diviso." This is a second working Enigma2 case, supporting the Enigma2 route when Ariva fails. [Elektroda, reja, post #17534224]
I only get FTA channels on Ariva with the NC+ card—what does that mean?
It signals decryption is blocked for scrambled channels. A user saw only uncoded channels after inserting the card directly in Ariva. That aligns with the Nagravision‑only shift and unsupported free‑market decoders. [Elektroda, MQKris, post #17280654]
How can I check if my Diviso splitter is reading the card?
Look at the splitter’s LED. A blinking green LED indicates permissions are transmitted from the master card. If the LED is correct yet Ariva stays dark, the block is on the tuner side, not the splitter. [Elektroda, MQKris, post #17282059]
What does "FEDC" mean in this thread context?
A participant pointed to "FEDC" and warned the problem may also affect the splitter. The note flags a content‑protection aspect to read up on when diagnosing NC+ issues. "FEDC – read." [Elektroda, simhak, post #17280535]
Are NC+ cards now limited to approved decoders only?
The OP cites NC+ content protection and a published list of active set‑top boxes. Ariva models are absent from that list, explaining lost compatibility. Check the operator list before buying hardware. [Elektroda, MQKris, post #17280472]
If Enigma2 is "different," what does that imply for compatibility?
The cited guidance says, "It’s different about decoders on Enimgma." That implies Enigma2 boxes can succeed where free‑market decoders fail. User reports for BSKA and Pace on Enigma2 support this direction. [Elektroda, Anonymous, post #17282105]
How do I switch to an Enigma2 setup to regain channels?
- Use an nbox/ADB 5800S (BSKA) running Enigma2.
- Connect the Diviso splitter and insert your NC+ card.
- Test scrambled channels for decryption.
This configuration was confirmed working with Diviso by a user. [Elektroda, MQKris, post #17432314]
My Ariva 120 Combo stopped even with a Cameleon card. What now?
A user with several Ariva 120 Combo units reported total failure, even using the original Cameleon card. This edge case indicates hardware that previously worked can still fail after changes. Consider Enigma2 alternatives documented in the thread. [Elektroda, reja, post #17534224]
Should I verify the splitter before replacing hardware?
Yes. One responder advised, "Check if the splitter is reading the card correctly." Confirm that first, then evaluate moving to an Enigma2 box if decryption remains blocked. [Elektroda, simhak, post #17280677]
Will a WiFiBox+ work with Diviso Air?
No. A user states WiFiBox+ works with the card but is not supported by Diviso. If you need Diviso, consider BSKA on Enigma2 instead. [Elektroda, MQKris, post #17282138]
What if nothing works—should I get NC+ Multiroom?
One participant planned to buy NC+ Multiroom if the Enigma2 route failed. The thread does not confirm Diviso use with Multiroom. Treat Multiroom as the operator‑supported fallback. [Elektroda, MQKris, post #17282059]
