To help those who may be new to FTA in general, I thought I'd provide a bit of insight into: Bev, Bins,
Charlie , Keys and Ecm's
So those new to FTA might know what the heck people are talking about
Bev or B3V is a moniker that is often applied/used by people in the FTA community when speaking about a particular service provider, who is also familiar with telephones.
Charlie is the moniker used to describe yet another service provider.
Bins are executable files (firmware) that can be loaded in FTA recievers to provide some additional signal conditioning which many find useful.
Keys a strings of number and letters that interact with the info in the
BIN that kind of direct traffic. Keys can change frequently and the .
BIN file needs to know how to talk to the keys properly inorder to maintain proper signal conditioning.
When the keys and bins are not co-operating this is often referred to as an
ecm or Electronic Counter Measure. And to correct this a new .
BIN is needed that is capable of understanding the new traffic patterns.
I hope this provides those of you new to FTA with some added insight
