Did PPV movie tier event ID change again?

....on d!$h? Looks like high 38000 range....you guys using a wide string or just changing the string every time the tier changes?

whatever you feel comfortable with is what you should do.

there's a bit more to it than that actually.....running wide open tiers leaves you vulnerable to a style of ecm that takes your receiver to location 00001 so that it has to be jtagged back (if it is jtaggable)....we haven't seen that hit yet with n2, so we are not sure how easy it is for them to do.....if your receiver is one of the cardless ones then you'll be in a bit of a pickle as they can't be resurrected (yet).....the suggestion for those is to run a tier range (or indeed two or three ranges) that covers what you want to watch....you'll have to reprogram them to suit every so often but they don't roll tier ranges so often as to make doing that really inconvenient.......hope this helps....cheers

i'll add that with the providers still trying to get fta pirates to do the long down stay, you may get away with wide open tiers for a while.....no one knows what ecm's are going to pop up though.....

I personally use 2 tier ranges, 1 for the PPV movies and 1 for the PPV events. The PPV movies usually have to be re-done every 3-4 weeks since I keep the range around 10,000 (36808-45999) The events haven't had to be re-done in awhile since they haven't changed much. I have these set at 96001-98998. Hope this helps.
