Just got this from the total-fta site: http://www.totalfta.com/showthread.php?t=7447
7/03/06--> [From TDG] Last time there was a hash, it involved alot of math, as does this hash. It was thought (according to engineers) that the amount of processing power would play into a receivers ability to decrypt the routines. However, it was possible last time to just insert a hard coded "solution" to get the control words and avoid having the processor do all the work. That may never be possible again. Nothing is working for FTA right now, but VS as well as the other STB makers haven't given up. The fact that Dreambox hasn't even come out with a new "fix" says ALOT about the difficulty of the current situation. There are calls to an area of the card that is firewall protected and doesn't show in a dump. Until these MAP's of the hidden area are known, we wait. There's talk of READING the asic from a card with a laserscope. This is very intricate, involved and can be expensive. I've been told, that if there's no breakthrough by the 5th., That Mr.V. will be putting a couple of people (1 from Canada & 1 from Korea) in a room with laserscope and everything they need to finally get a full dump. It's hard to explain or understand how instructions are printed on a chip, but there are layers of silicate that are etched. The protective coating of the asic (chip) can be peeled with acid first to expose these layers. Then a laser scope can intricately burn (read) the image of each layer to find the instructions. There's only a small snippet of code that is required to turn off the firewall. Once that is known, they will be able to READ the hidden sections that aren't accessible now. There's too much money at stake NOT to go ahead and do this. It all takes time...Once the MAP calls are all known, then a fix can be written, indeed a FULL emu can be written. Only time will tell, but FTA is suffering in sales right now, and the motivation to beat this only increases daily. Digital + in Europe went black for 2 months by using a similar hash method. They are back up and running today Sit tight, have faith, and enjoy America's birthday celebration.
I here you... But this seems to be the most "honest" explanation out there. Most sites just say that they are close or that "it looks good". At least this site gives us some concrete explanation as to what might be going on. If it is true or all BS, thats another story.
lucia i have seen dsstester posting some bins with 278T are these bins really working or just fake and how long further this will take to bring new bin out
Only the faith of a man make him a winner so have faith and you'll get everything back hi tech electronics are made by men so only men can deal with it so be patient that all is coming soon
People, People, People... All we can do is wait.. Quit asking in every thread if there is a new bin.. This is a hobby, NOT something to be taken seriously.. I can understand ppl who r new to it.. But come on.. I am getting sick of reading BS threads about excuses, truth is.. no one knows how long it'll take.. could be today could be next month... I remind u all.. when the switch was made to NAGRA 2.. Everyone was saying thats it.. our free TV days r over.. relax... spend tiem out in the sun.. watch some dvd's and be patient...
