Sport Channels on TNK Telewizja Na Kartę

victory10

I hope that this thread would shed some light about the Polish TNK cards.
TNK is short for Telewizja Na Kartę, which is a popular method to watch many TV channels in Poland, using a Pre-Paid card system.
The card works only in receivers that can support the Conax encryption system and will open TV channels that are encrypted in Conax, and will require activation by the supplier, or by yourself if you know a little Polish.
There are several type of TNK cards

1 - Standard
The standard TNK pre-paid card is available for 1 month-24 months.
The channels list is shown in the link

You will need a satellite receiver with Conax smartcard reader, something like Technisat Digi S2 CD
Sport channels:
- TVP Sport
- nSport

2 - Home HD and Home HD Premium
The Home HD TNK card has the list of channels in the link

Sport channels:
- TVP Sport
- Orange Sport Info
- nSport
- nSport HD (Premium package)
- Eurosport
- Eurosport HD (Premium Package)

You can buy a TNK HD card by buying a TNK HD Module, which has a 3-months service including all the TV channels after activation.
The activation can be on any day of the month and will last for whole 3 months.
After this period, you can extend the validity period for 1, 3, 6, 12 months by transfering money to a special bank account.
The cost of extending the validity is shown in this link

If you decide not to extend the subscription, you will be able to watch several TV channels for free for a period of 12 months (if you buy a TNK module) or for 1 month (if you buy a NNK module).
You can't order ONLY the Preimum channels. You must buy the Home HD as well.
I think the TNK card is a good alternative to the Cyfra+ Pre-Paid cards, as it is slightly cheaper and has some interesting TV channels, mostly in Polish audio, but there are few that can be switched to original language [BBC HD, MGM HD, Disney Channel, National Geographic Wild, Eurosport, MTV Live HD, War and Peace (in Russian), Romance (in German)].
Sometimes if you are lucky, you can watch some films in original language from TVN channel.

Problems:
I had a problem with the module getting hot when installed in the Ariva HD Combo, and I had to take it out and let it cool down. But after an upgrade over satellite, the whole thing seem to work much better. It doesn't seem to like zapping too much, so I am careful not to ovedue it.

Another problem is that I can't get the AXN channel on my receiver at 12,476 H DVB-S2 and therfore I can't open this channel.

Apart from buying a TNK or NNK CI module, there is another possibility of buying an HD receiver and the card just go into a Conax card reader.
Please be aware that the TNK card is matched to the module, so you will not be able to use the card in another receiver with Conax card reader for example, and the CI module will read only the specific TNK card that was included in the package.
The supplier was very helpful with the activation of the card and I can highly recommend them if anybody is interested in the TNK HD system.
Please PM me for their details.
The attachments below will give you more information.

Does the card not read directly in the box using the Cccam patched firmware? The card can be read in other boxes directly using cccam.

I doubt it, since HD card is matched to the CI TNK HD module.
If you mean a standard card, then maybe.
Which receiver are you referring to?

Ariva HD Combo and most other newer fergusion boxes.

The cccam in the patched firmware doesn't require a box key for nds. It is the thing for pairing card and box. Don't know about other systems but..... it is a polish box so maybe the patch is ment for your card. Try and see.
