N2 Another Era in FTA has Passed c/p - ABA DSS

**tomcat01** · June 19th, 2009

this is a c/p from cyphris

By now the word has spread across the internet and satellite forums alike that the N2 stream has finally come to an end. The N2 FTA hack was born on Sept 1st, 2005. It was first seen to be true by those who owned the Coolsat receivers. Back then Coolsat was king while Viewsat was still getting out of diapers. None the less, the N2 release spread like wild fire through the FTA community and before long all brands of that time had channels back up on DN. Bev didn't come till a few months later after already being dark for several months. We are once again at that crossroad. Bev has been dark now for several months and DN has just completed it's switch over to the new N3 encryption. There are many new brands and Coolsat, well is far from king. We have seen the birth of other new brands such as Captive Works, CNX and Sonicview while Viewsat has prevailed to be a mature and respected force in the FTA community.

While there is a new beast that has become popular in FTA in North America. This way of getting channels out of the dark has been in use for a long time in Europe and is by no means anything new. I am talking about IKS or otherwise also known as ICS. While this type of system is not the most liked due to safety reasons it has gotten more popular as more get desperate to get there once loved Free TV back. This has started making many brands start supporting ICS. Well the Viewsat Team is not one to go down that road and will continue to make sure that the standalone file prevails. Yes the Viewsat Team has had a few snags and wish to be further along than they are with a N3 release. Don't get me wrong they have gotten very far in progress now and with a bit more time they will show once again who is #1 and who is willing to continue making FTA users very happy just like they did back in the Summer of 2006 when the providers though Map57 would end it all. Some will say these words are just a ploy to sell more receivers. Well it isn't, it is just how it will be. I have always been one to be straight up with the public and this time is no different. I do not expect all to go running out to buy a Viewsat tomorrow with nothing to show. The proof will be in the pudding. It's just the pudding isn't quite ready to be served just yet. Many have always said History likes to repeat itself. From fashions of the 70s appearing again to the fall of the stock markets plummeting again. We can expect the same within the FTA community and its prevailing with a N3 release.

The Viewsat Team would like to thank all its supporters and are working very hard to continue to support you the way they have done in the past. Summer is hear enjoy it and don't let TV run your life. Remember to support the providers with a back up sub, because after all without them there would be no need to provide a fix

On the bright side for you South American users. N2 is still running strong on Telefonica and look for VS to come out with even more stable support for Telefonica

Sounds just like the dssguy. Time will tell what happens to all the fta receivers. It's been about 8 months since bev went dark and n3 started. Right now it's the providers 1 and fta , jack squat. Iks doesn't count, that's just a last minute ploy, like the hail mary pass.

**creativegenius** · June 19th, 2009

Yup TDG - The PR Guy of Viewsat ... all I can say is its 2009, and the game has changed. Come on Viewsat bring it

Ball is in your court. The next move is yours.

HOLY SMOKEY ANDY!!!! This is the first time I saw sooooo many moderators gathering to ..............well, now I am not sure what.

Seriously, it is the first time that I have read the first 6 posts in a non-sticky all done by moderators. This is important stuff! I would like to see positive results as would others but personally, I doubt those results will originate from reverse engineering.

Well, Cyphris is just trying to tell us that N3Fix will be late, so let's wait.

Do you have the source of that Info?

c/p

"As most know all channels have gone to N3. All we can do is wait and see now. The word is out now that Viewsat is in the process of releasing the first N3 fix. Please keep checking the site for updates."

**SoDarkTheCon** · June 26th, 2009

The first brand to release a non iks fix will make a killing in sales...funny, but people will spend a few hundred on the box that is the best at the moment, and keep doing this...but they complain about paying for satellite or cable.

Anyways, enjoy the summer with family and friends...satellite will be back before the deep cold of winter sets in.

Hopefully

I certainly like the idea of an N3 crack.,.,stand alone bins are more stable(when there's no ecm) and they keep people anonymous.,.,but if an n3 solution is reached and bins come out.,.,will we be back to the ecm days?.,.,constantly down every weekend?

**merchantman2** · June 26th, 2009

i personally dont think n3 will ever be cracked. why would you. if you can sell a crap load of recievers without it . and the user doesnt have to even mess with ecms. iks will be the future whether people like it or not. you either jump on board or go without. and the people that swear completely against it will evetually come around. how many times in your life have you said you would never and did. sonicview and kbox have both sold out and will never have a stand alone take that to the bank. because they are

nick2969 · June 26th, 2009

there are to many stand alone boxes in stock and in houses for them not to ever get a fix an with sv beta or not it is leaving a bad taste in alot of mouths there will be a fix sometime might be a while but there are alot of big boys left in the game but true fta aint to bad either....... besides that there was n1 n2 n3 guess what there will be a n4

Bev went down in 2008. And still no fix!!!!

It may be awhile before a fix comes out for Bev And Dn?
