Battle of the Bulge?

Saturday 29 December 2007 @ 2:30 am

c/p from another site:

Battle of the Bulge?

Well, this is it folks. I am calling it the Battle of the Bulge. This is the final desperate push by Nagra to defeat all hardware emulators. The stakes could not be higher: if they win, no single stand-alone hardware emulator is coming back. If they lose, they have nothing else to throw at us, at least nothing harder than this.

Their tactic is the (expected) timer hash of Map0×57. Map0×57, as most coders know is a convoluted implementation of elliptic curve multiplication (ECC). Timing a standard ECC function is hard enough, but timing a proprietary one is much, much harder - if not impossible.

My plan is to counter this attack with my favourite weapon of choice: statistics.It worked well for us last time, lets hope it works out this time too.

For those who are culturally deprived, the Battle of the Bulge was the last desperate offensive by the Germans, prepared with skill and secrecy, to capture the key strategic city of Bastogne around Christmas of 1944. Greatly outnumbered and outflanked, the allies held the city and the men who survived came to be known as the “Battered Bastards of Bastogne”.

Lets see what the battered, bastard coders can do this time around…wish me luck!

PS. The battle field (MECM0×40) is depicted below.

RUMOR:coders holding off to see what dn does today

Wednesday 12 December 2007 @ 2:49 am

c/p from another site

Well guys the word is bev might be down for a couple more days. The coders are waiting to see what DN has in store this week before they bother fixing bev. They are also taking this time to try and make us a bit more stable fix. What bev did over the weekend is on Saturday they changed from using mecm40 to mecm60(these have to do with the processing of the video) they are code. A few weeks ago they added a Timer Function, if this wasn’t properly coded in our bins would result in no picture. The timer is a math function, the last few “hits” they have done to us they have also changed the timing on that function. You can think of the timer as a math equation. If you don’t have the right answer in a math equation you get it wrong, well the same theory goes for this. Now yesterday what bev did was they changed back to using mecm40 and once again changed the timing on this math equation.

So just sit tight and as soon as files are ready they will be here. DN will most likely do there change on Wednesday. So please don’t ask when files will be released as soon as they are done they will be here..




True free to air(FTA)channels that never go down by providers at 123w KU

Monday 10 December 2007 @ 1:59 am

FTA=free to air.

Free to air channels are very fun to have,though not many of them are premiums and such,there still very interesting and enjoyable to have.These FTA channels remain up at all times and are not attacked by ecm’s as These channels are not encrypted.

A great starting point is 123w-G10r.

This bird requires a minimum of a 30″ dish.(depending on your location,it may be larger).

This can be determined here:

http://www.lyngsat-maps.com/maps/galaxy10r_ku.html

Use the map to get your DBW strength,and the corresponding chart to the right to determine the dish size required.

You will also need a linear lnb.

So what kind of channels are located on this satellite?

Have a look here:

http://www.lyngsat.com/galaxy10r.html

Note the band info to the right.Scroll down to KU band.(the C band requires a large 6 foot to 12 foot dish,C band is another topic).

As you can see there are some Foreign channels but most are English.We will focus on the English.

You can view an ABC,a FOX,and many RTN (retro tv network) some radio channels and more for some examples.

For some examples of programs and events that can be seen on 123w KU band:

live with Regis and Kelly

Wheel of Fortune

Jeopardy

ABC Primetime Nightline and Good Morning America News

Major league Baseball

Bonanza

The Fugitive

Ironside

Manniz

Streets Of San Francisco

And more.If this satellite is for you,then get yourself a dish and linear lnb and enjoy some tv that never goes down.

This is what FTA receivers are made for,and why they are 100% legal to own.any bin file will work at any time ,even factory bins of course as this is their legal purpose.

Enjoy tv that never goes down.FTA.Information the big providers don’t want you to know.

 
 
 
 
 



An ecm hit from bev today that took out all channels on 91/82

An ecm (electronic counter measure) hit from bev this evening took out all channels from the fta receivers.

After only a couple hours,a coding team calling themselfs “Conaxsat Construct” answered back with a quick fix patch file.The fta receiver conaxsat (CNX) is rapidly gaining more attention, as this is not the first time they have done this “don’t blink or you will miss the ecm” approach.A relatively newer company to the North American market,but already very well established over seas as i understand,and gaining much popularity here,by setting new standards in lower prices and faster releases.




What is full emu?

Thursday 6 December 2007 @ 11:50 pm

EMU=Emulation.
To emulate or too imitate/copy/act as the cards used in subscribed receivers.If this can be done 100% I can’t think of what they could do at that point that would affect only fta receivers.
But I’m no coder.Perhaps bins never can 100% fully emu a subbed card.I only say this because it hasn’t been done yet,so until then its unknown.

And how much flash rom size does it take to have full emu?
We will just have to wait and see.
But if it did,your fta receiver would not see keys roll anymore I don’t think as it would just think it was a subscribed card.

BUT then is the next question.If this 100% full emu does happen,will the providers then do a card swap?
Can they afford it?
What would stop coders from making a new full emu (with time of course) of the next card?
Time will tell.

Its fun to watch how it plays out,how,if,when coders will do the full emu.




Whats a good starting point for hardware in the fta hobby?

Thursday 6 December 2007 @ 8:54 pm

Over the years of being in this hobby,id like to save you allot of time of trial and error by sharing a list of what will provide you the most enjoyable and fun fta experience.First,remember to not enter this with expecting tv all the time for all channels otherwise you WILL be disappointed.Enter your new hobby as just that,a hobby.My list does include basics to keep tv all the time.Forget about being stuck in the rut about brand names with fta receivers this is the worst thing you can do to fully enjoy the hobby,you MUST explore other brands,trust me on this one.Reason one being having at least two different brand name units WILL over time=less down time,as sometimes its others are up while others are still down.Reason number two is other brands have different features/and or quality features some others in same price range do not.

1.A dish 500 pointed at 119/110

2.A dish 500 pointed at 91/82

3.A 30″(minimum,and depending where you live) dish with a linear lnb.point it at 123w G10-r.this bird has many Free To Air English channels.many RTN (retro tv network)for older shows.but many newer ones also.and even movies during the weekend.primarily all best shows are on during prime time. Its fairly basic.and about 16 English channels.but worth having for some completely free tv that never goes down.between this and your pvr recordings,the down times will be MUCH less of a bother to you.

4.A well supported basic receiver.

5.A well supported receiver made by someone else from that of the first receiver.this one should have pvr function. and you should use it ALLOT.

6.A switch/switches to combine them all,so the receiver can view all channels simply by changing them in the guide.

7.a dvd burner to make a hard copy of your pvr recordings.

8.Full vip membership to abadss.com

This is very affordable,and insures you will not run into harmful files you see on some,but not all of course,other sites.Protect your investment.Well worth the small membership fees.A large site with great moderators who will treat you will respect.But will not let the children run lose to waste your time while your leaning either.The owner is a class act,and set’s the forum up nicely for his mods to keep organized so you can find everything quickly.If you haven’t stopped by,please drop in and say hello.

But 3 dishes! that will not work where i am,i have no place to hide that dish farm!

Not to worry,get yourself a good sized dish like 34″-36″ with a motor and invacom lnb.

This is best for even more channels,and cleaner looking.But will have to wait for channel changes as the dish turns to correct bird channel is on.

follow this list as closely as you can afford and your new hobby will be very enjoyable.




ECM/map 22 introduced

Thursday 6 December 2007 @ 7:25 pm

Both Bev and DN have updated their dynamic code. Bev’s is currently active on all channels, DN’s is currently active on International Channels/ppv/adult/premium movies. (it will spread to all channels).

The new code uses map 22 (a previously unseen map call), and is also timing this map call (how long does it take to run map 22).

We’re working on it, and will update as more information is available.

Sonysat and Spacestar

Thursday 6 December 2007 @ 5:51 pm

neosat ipro 2000 iks pvr system introduces iks solution.

with a new “dynamic” coding routine introduced from the big 2 providers to help secure their signals,more easily and quickly than before.the neosat ipro team focuses on iks(internet key sharing).by way of hooking the fta receiver to the internet to receive small packets of info which only require dial up if need be so that channels will stay up.at this time its in its early stage of public release.

the neosat ipro 2000 is an advanced fta receiver,with top of the line hardware,its a pvr ready unit which means you can record to an external hard drive with ease.some features include a very nice working PIP (picture in picture)small and 50/50 split screen,advanced searching features and much more. this seems to be the fta receiver to watch. and also has a reasonable price tag.

you can buy yourself one here today:
