first off i really do not want to say viewsat could not do it here read some history from the dark days of 2006 ..
Viewsat autroll cardless file released // 2006-08-14
I was out of town since Friday, just came back few minutes ago (Aug 14 at 11 PM pacific time) and seen this posted all over the net
"Update from original post, FILE HAS BEEN RELEASED.
About 5:00 AM eastern time, I got a call from Viewsat notifying me they finally had a cardless fix for their receivers. All FTA receivers have been down for about 2 months, only work arounds were available, such as Coolsats carded fix which requires a rom 102 card to be inserted into the cardslot (currently rom 102s are selling for over $200 in most places, more than the majority of FTA receivers), and work arounds known as card sharing which forced the user to hook their receiver up to the internet. Both were a far cry from the cardless fix Viewsat is going to be releasing today."
They did it again when every one (included me) said it is not looking good.... hat off to the guys who did it.
2 months of darkness and viewsat was the first to come back with the same statements they are making today i am not saying that they are true but they have a great track record of saying things and then doing them ..
