There is always hope. FTA is a large market worth millions of dollars. FTA IRD's are cheap to make and modifications of some type will be available if the provider can't secure his network better than he has so far. I don't think a quick fix is in the cards, however once the situation stabilizes a fix will become available. For now you will have to watch what is truly free to air.


guys, if you all read the hash on the rom code is why rom 10 will die. the control words are hashed with the rom code in the 102. this can be moved to any location they want inside the rom, map, eeprom. and then hash that value with the control words. think of it like the key that made the control word, then it needs the same key at the same location to decrypt the control words out. understand.

so a rom 10 will not have the rom at the same spot the rom102 will. so when hashed it will not return the proper control words. the key will not match. this is why rom 10,11, atmega, fta will die.

now fta has room to put all the rom 102 code on the FTA. just need them to do it. basically, a look up table. including eeprom,map, and rom.

I think FTA will survive this. doesnt seem like it would be to hard to place the rom 102 onto a FTA unit in a lookup table fashion and then hash it out. to give proper contorl words.

control words given by the cmd 07 is the key to tv. if you have the control words,you have got 15 seconds of video. thats how the system works. in a nut shell.

tell your friends and family. this is a good stradegy of the provider. to keep you out.
rom 102 will work, very little else.
