Let me ask you all this. Do you know of any type of encryption that is yet to be hacked?

Yes. Digicipher II used by *Choice. Only Motorola boxes can decrypt the stream.

I don't really think fta wants to goto iks. Not only because of the risk on there end, but also the difficulty of it for the average joe. Fta people want to keep it easy so that people like us keep our friends and family hooked up, not something we want to do when we have to setup/explain and troubleshoot iks for people.

Where is it written that a hobby has to be easy? Internet access is here to stay. As more and more receivers are hooked to it, the risk of detection diminishes. You can get lots of perfectly legal stuff already, so just having a connection does not mean you are a thief.


I'm sure dtv would have been cracked awhile ago if there was interest, but with dn being wide open, and offering the same channels for the mostpart, why bother? Fta saw no money in offering "options" like dn or dtv, and settling on just dn was fine.

DTV may have been just as easy to crack, but would have required a subbed receiver and a modified card. FTA receivers are useless, as DVB and Videoguard are two separate animals. And DTV cracks down hard on those who make and sell stuff to modify cards.

Give it a few months guys, let things die down a little and I'm sure a fix will come out.

Don't hold your breath waiting for a fix. You'll die!
