I hope this is going to quash some rumors and speculation.
Blocker stops DN from changing data on the card, FTAs can't be changed this way, have to plug them into a computer, so no blocker needed, a blocker does not get you any channels.
This latest change has nothing to do with speed or memory size
This is the simplest way I can explain why there is no fix yet: In a DN card there are 2 MAPs(math processors), that I know of there probably are more, these MAPs change numbers, or modify number strings. They use unreversable math, so even though you know the number going in and the number coming out you can not detemine what math was used to make that change, so you can't duplicate it just by knowing the answer. The MAPs are readable, but it takes awhile to get each step. The MAPs themselves can be modifie by outside settings, this makes these MAPs multi-level if you will. So its not just a matter of getting one read of a MAP and your done.
Now to have an FTA fix you need both MAPs and all possible combinations of those, this will take awhile.
For cards you need none of this, the MAPs are built-in, so you don't need to know squat about whats going on inside the card, this is why card sharing works.
DN has never tried to stop FTAs from getting their channels until now, it does not surprise me that a fix will take some time. Until now all they did was fake packets and changed the auto-roll signature, so basicly they did nothing. The rev108 update shut down the FTAs for a few days using a few MAPs calls, the rev109 update still has them shutdown using many MAP calls, for how long who knows but they will be back up, at least until rev10A. I am sure the coders appreciate all the suggestions offered by non-coders but they know where the problem lies, its just a matter of getting the info.
As a new memeber that was not so bad information at all. I do agree with you in that. They do have the math processors on those cards. I think we can simulate the process by using an external computer to do the work for FTA with no Card slot. Hope the JTAG process will help for now before rev10A show up. Keep the good work.
