Hello Omnico
Thank you for your response on my Globecast problem, and today I know that is not a key issue to solve the blackout. In the following I will explain the complete observation regarding GC.

This is something new that happen on Sept.16.08 to Globecast Sat.
In general, when a key change implemented by the broadcaster, all pay channels are scrambled.
The Coder write a new program and or the new keys, down load or manually install into the receiver. This usually solves the Scrambling problem.
On Sept.16. on GC. The Hungarian DunaTv. went down, but all other pay channels running a o.k
I just find out today Sep.17 that peoples with Globecast receivers and activated smart cards as legit pay customers, receive DunaTv without any problem.
Only the FTA receivers are blank on DunaTv. (my Sonicview, Viewsat, Pansat) I dont know the other models.
This is scary, because if one sat provider could select one particular broadcaster to scramble and blackout a channel as they wish, we as FTA users could be in big trouble with the "others" not just GC.
Now the real chalenge is for the Coders if they come out with some new program to solve this proble.
Until then, we are without DunaTv programs
Thank you for reeding my note
