GOT THIS FROM ANOTHER SITE.

Ok People, here we gooo.. A little birdie told me that an ECM is expected to hit some time today, so those of you who have PVR's better get them recording... and those of you who do not should check to see what your local video store has that's new.

I will update this thread as I get more information. It's times like these that I hope my sources are wrong...


There is a new Bev mecm in the stream but not yet active.. It's coming

Yup, this has been floating around on a few "card sites" for a few day's now. They tend to be right ...atleast in the last few ECM predictions(They 102/DVB guy's seem to be logging the stream 24/7)....lol......good thing I just invested in an iso programmer.

Thanks for the heads up! I am expecting one from B3V soon anyways, is due!:D And of course you'll see D!SH following a few minutes later. That's how is been for the past 3 or4 weeks. It will be over soon though, very soon! A little birdie told me! :D

Hopefully I am wrong. But here is what happened. I had a faulty switch and now have to manually switch cables to go from one to the other. Everything was fine until I turned off the power button at the rear of the unit !!! :rolleyes: After I swapped cables and turned it back on ... VOILA !! Messed up signal .;( Tried turning it off and on a few times but no change .:eek:
My advice ... DON"T TURN IT OFF !!!!:|>

I cant for thelife of me understand how messages such as GTbadboy,s post does any good for anybody.

Plus he mentions that he "got this information"from another site, but does nor share this site info.

Christ, why dont you go clean the garage or something, instead of pretending to be a great forecaster.

Easy now fella. This is information sharing, and if you noticed, this info was posted in the rumour section. So.....take it for what it is, and if you can't, then take some of your own advice.

There is ALWAYS a ECM on it way! The providers are always trying to stop FTA. The problem is that they mess up some of there subscribers with every one, and it costs them in time, service, lost customers. So it is a trade off for them. They are trying to stop or at least slow down the FTA tidal wave.

:yes: Exactly, that's all it is to it! Bottom line!! Stop it? Probably never, Slow it down? They already have.

I guess you guys don't get the picture ... heh ... too many people run the same type of box. FTA has made the hobby too easy and as of now they all run the same style code. Making it easy for Dish/Bell to stop millions of people very easily. Notice how the card guys barely go down. There in love with you guys because you keep the heat off them. Every time the FTA's have a fix. A ECM is close to follow.

Nothing that is that simple lasts forever, the masses hop on top of the bandwagon and makes an easy topic. They don't care if it costs money because the 1+ million FTA boxes go down with one simple click type deal. It isn't like we all run our own custom blocker etc etc. So one attack knocks down one set of people. One Attack knocks down the masses.

As long as FTA is point and click I think it's going to be quite the bumpy ride, while things like emulation (which is locking it's code because the FTA coders like to "use" it) and AUX cards are running smooth and have been going just fine.

Eh ... just an idea in the pot ... but realisticly ... FTA fix = new ECM ... it's been like that for almost 2 months now. Heck this is the first time a fix has been working for more then a few days. Cat and mouse is lots of fun and all, but it has gotten to the point where redundancy is almost required be it DVB/Card/nfusion/dreambox etc etc.

Ah well ... enjoy TV while it works :D

Just a statement, and a question. I have a VSUltra, used the last fix. Has been working awesome. Absolutely no freezing. In the last half hour, it has froze three times for about 30 to 45 seconds. Could this be BEV messing around? or just coincidence? By the way, thanks to all who had anything to do with the last fix.

Yea same here. Viewsat Ultra Watch T.V. for like 2-3mins then goes into AR then out for 2mins or so and then back again. I think I would rather just have it out all together.
But hey! get what you pay..... LOL

P.S. The cat will never catch the mouse.:lol::P

Now is the time for our Canadian friends to make sure they have a backup.

It's looking like another new ecm will happen today (guesstimate around 1pm EST).

Reported Map3b timing was being tested by B3V earlier in the week, actually 2 different map calls & 4 timer values, appear to be headed our way. The more calls and unknown timer values they throw into the mix, the more difficult it is for our coders to overcome. Brute forcing timer values may not be an option this time, but we won't know till they show us what they have planned. Once a map emu surfaces, and is fully functional, they'll have to get a lot more creative with their ecm's. These pesky Map/Timer combo's won't cut it. Till then we may have a bumpy ride.

Be smart, plan ahead for downtime. Record a few shows, or checkout some other sats while this chess game continues.
One thing is certain. This game WILL continue. Competition for market share WILL fuel solutions, and you can bet Coder Teams WILL scramble once again to show us who has the muscle to stay in the game. A lot of units WILL fall by the wayside over support issues, as providers step up their game. Be prepared & stay tuned right here for all the latest breaking news and further updates.

If you have questions, be sure and use this forum properly and ask in the proper sections. Lets help each other and stay calm. Lets do it with dignity & respect for each other. Remember, when faced with adversity, never let you opponent see you sweat

Enjoy this great hobby, but NEVER let it get to you. Sub to a provider for best results and least downtime.

If you feel that way, maybe is time for you to retire from FTA, sell your STBs, and walk away... after all, maybe this isn't for you! :idea:

I posted it in the CS area, but CS 4,5,6 are up on previous bin, DN & B3v, all channels, with only minor problems. Go scrambled every so often and pop back after about 30 secs. So far.

Now I'm no coder, so can someone a bit more tech saavy explain why bins that have been killed suddenly work? I think I know the answer, but I hate being wrong in public. :|>

what im thinking is that the providers have maybe pulled their ecm out of the stream.maybe they had problems with subs or just thinking it might mess with us knowing it wont effect their subs.

ECM = Electronic Counter Measures. In simplier terms, the changes DN and B3V uses to stop the bins from working.

As another member remarked , possibly the last bin was causing problems for subs.

The symptoms seen in the 0108-1, looked like the timer and the CW were not syncing up.

Two bins that are working (fairly) well are 071226U and reportedly even better - the 071222U for VSU.

For now...

Anxiously anticipating the (fictional??) EMU!
