DN says Goodbye to the Pirates

[roscoep]

Arrrrr---One less channel to check if the box is even working - Only Nasa and Angel1 now.

i dont trust IKS... it makes it too easy for DN to send you a letter in the mail saying "pay us $5000.00 for all the PPV and XXX we logged you watching or we will see you in court.

[nunyasochata]

IKS is "apparently" a work-around solution, sure... but i say "apparently" because i will not go-there. the whole point of getting a free signal is that it rains down on us through the air and for the most part can not be traced who is receiving it.

if i was DN and wanted to find out who was getting my signal (which is not a matter of regulating bandwidth, its maximizing revenue on that which is already dedicated and in place)... the first thing i would do is release BIN files through the regular portals for free that would crash all the boxes i could (try and make as many unauthorized users sign a contract with me as i can)... well that didn't work did it? ok lets patch the hole (N3 encryption, for now)... then i would make a new hole by providing a "relatively easy and less expensive" solution... lets just for the sake of argument call it "IKS" (im not saying IKS w/ an iHUB is DN countermeasures, but if I was DN... you could bet I would be all over THAT one)... now I would have a way to find out exactly where everyone is that uses this "hard wire" solution through their IP address/port/MAC address...

so unless they are using complete anonymous web surfing tools and a very nice MAC address changer with their own versions of hide/encrypt hardware/software... DN will have a NEW source of income.... the court of law... much more effective than sending vans around the neighborhood looking for Dish500's at houses w/o an active account... now they can get a log report of everything you have been watching... imagine your surprise when you get THAT bill in the mail. "please send us $9,999.99 for umpteen-million PPV events, ALL the adult channels, ALL the pay channels, ALL the premium sports, etc... included is a report of everything you have been watching for the last 6 months and at what time you were watching it... be sure you show it to your Public Defender when we see you in court, have a nice day"

call me parranoid if you want but i will wait for a real solution.

as for me, i will resume TESTING when N3 is solved for over-the-air solutions.

i've been in on this since back in the day when we had little black boxes on top of our regular cable boxes to descramble the pay channels. then we switched over to dave tv and ordered our own little card scramblers. then when that went down we discovered dn tv. if for some reason n3 remains unscrambled i'm sure another option will be available soon, that will not require you to be directly linked to your computer, or that may be the next solution. i don't know much about that, but i didn't know much about fta tv untill i started reading. so i guess it's happy reading for me till i find out what's next. for now i'll be patient and enjoy basic cable, cause that is not going anywhere anytime soon. thx to all that keep this website going u people are awesome, hope we get an n3 fix soon!!
