FIXES
07/07/06: There is still no fix...
07/02/06: Captivework's temp fix bin doesn't work anymore....
07/01/06: Dreambox has temp fix.Its really working (card sharing like Captivework)....
07/01/06: Captivework just released a temp bin for their Premium Boxes working with PPV and PORN. But this is just a temp solution. As soon as Charlie knows this. They will close the server and everything will go black again... This is a good news anyway...
06/30/06: Still no fix yet...
CODERS
VIewsat (7/07/06): We are working around the clock to get everyone up and running soon, We hope to finish by end of next week, FTA will Live on for a longtime,we are every close... We have find Great info, that we will live on for a long time. This one is not easy, but we will have problem solution soon. Please be patient. We are making file do update just like there. this one is not going to be temp,,,, fix but full fix,,,
We are being help on this one from some europe guys on this one
Thanks to all the mods and supporters
I asure you solution will be up soon
look for TDG update as we are busy working.......
TDG (7/06/06): Hate to burst the bubble here, but it won't be here by the weekend. We're going for the whole sysrom, and that won't happen till midle of next week, but thats the golden goose and we will have the solution for N2 (until next card swap). This may not be the answer you want to hear, but this is from the TOP. With 70,000 units waiting to be paid for, there's alot at stake people. relax, enjoy what we have and be patient.
TDG (7/03/06): Last time there was a hash, it involved alot of math, as does this hash. It was thought (according to engineers) that the amount of processing power would play into a receivers ability to decrypt the routines. However, it was possible last time to just insert a hard coded "solution" to get the control words and avoid having the processor do all the work. That may never be possible again. Nothing is working for FTA right now, but VS as well as the other STB makers haven't given up. The fact that Dreambox hasn't even come out with a new "fix" says ALOT about the difficulty of the current situation. There are calls to an area of the card that is firewall protected and doesn't show in a dump. Until these MAP's of the hidden area are known, we wait. There's talk of READING the asic from a card with a laserscope. This is very intricate, involved and can be expensive. I've been told, that if there's no breakthrough by the 5th., That Mr.V. will be putting a couple of people (1 from Canada & 1 from Korea) in a room with laserscope and everything they need to finally get a full dump. It's hard to explain or understand how instructions are printed on a chip, but there are layers of silicate that are etched. The protective coating of the asic (chip) can be peeled with acid first to expose these layers. Then a laser scope can intricately burn (read) the image of each layer to find the instructions. There's only a small snippet of code that is required to turn off the firewall. Once that is known, they will be able to READ the hidden sections that aren't accessible now. There's too much money at stake NOT to go ahead and do this. It all takes time...Once the MAP calls are all known, then a fix can be written, indeed a FULL emu can be written. Only time will tell, but FTA is suffering in sales right now, and the motivation to beat this only increases daily. Digital + in Europe went black for 2 months by using a similar hash method. They are back up and running today Sit tight, have faith, and enjoy America's birthday celebration.
Chancysand (Captivework) (07/01/06) : "This is a card sharing temp fix to get Dish only back up and running. We are working on a final fix as is all the others. We have not had time to just swing by and chat but we are working on it so bare with us."
Blacklist (6/30/06): Please DO NOT Panic, we do our best to get the TV back. I hate to say when or how soon. but Just dont Panic, TV will be back on SOON. I have been working day and night, but only with my reliable sources. but never had conversation with Viewsat, nor Viewsat Engineers about sollution or sharing sollution. I am here in US I have no where to go yet for other 6 Month. Guys when the last shut down happened, all known lol coders were smart to tell no CPU lower then 150Mhz will not work anymore, and even 2300A I made it work and I proved it, no ones knows what his talking about. SO please stop talking shit or start some stupid Rumors. The Funny part is, when someone comes to me without knowing me, saying that Blacklist is in Jail. lool Pansats will not get fixes fast anymore. lol So from my 3 years of experiance in this market proved me that I can only prove by giving or showing not talking. So please wait for my next respond. I am here will be here as longest this market exist.!
TDG (6/30/06): There's been a myriad of new developments that I'm not supposed to talk about. Since everyone crucified me for the last projections, I was told not to say anything about timelines anymore. I can now say they were a bit on the optimistic side, and I learned NOT to give a time for a release. I do know alot about the industry tho, and there are alot of people scrambling to fix this. Some have paid for a fix they don't know how to implement, but may YET figure out how. That would be worst case scenario, because it would propel sales of their boxes falsely. No, it's not the 2 major players you're thinking of. Viewsat wants this, but doesn't want to side with anyone to get it. Their engineers have NOT relented in the quest for a solution. This is a bad hash but it's far from over for FTA. We WILL see a solution for this hash. The question is, who will release first and when? Wish I could give more specific details about what all has transpired and who all is in the running, but it's ALL good news, no matter who does it first.. You WILL see FTA respond to the latest ECM, and soon...
Spider (06/30/06): This time is really tough. The estimate time to release the new bin for Spacestar is 4-5 weeks...
Viewsat (06/28/06): we need little more time, we are working on it, taking longer then we thought, we had to rewrite whole new map function ,,,sorry for the delay...
TDG (06/28/06): The coder finished the bin this morn and it doesn't work. He is stating they will have to do a FULL EMU and that can take 3 weeks to develop a flash.. He is going to try 1 other thing, before he gives up and starts a new rewrite.
DISHNET
06/30/06: Most of the channels are down (90%). Some local channels may still up now...
BEV
06/30/06: All the Venus were down. All the VUppv were down. The rest is fine...
06/28/06: All the Venus were down. 1/2 VUppv were down.
All thanks to Voltron C & P
