YU4CFG,<br /><br />WOW and I am the noob here. I have how many? 5 Posts, at this point in time? <br /><br />I have read this about 15 times where if you want your MDS STB3100/3110 enabled for FTA then give UBI a call, give them your receivers details tell them you wish to use your Decoder for FTA on another satellite and they will enable it and give you 1 week before they disable it, this gives you time to have your unit re-enabled and used for another satellite. Your unit will NOT work on Optus B3 for any FTA though as UBI use this Satellite for their PayTV packages.<br /><br />It may suck for you and others as it once did for me, but you can purchase a receiver these days for a little under $200 (cheaper than the 3100/3110's) and they will do FTA and even have CI CAM slots. Take my word and many others words for it also the MDS STB3100/3110 do not make good FTA units.
