Looks like Viewsat peeps getting tv first..I only have Pansats...oh well here it is..
C/P from TDG
This has been an excruciating wait for the industry. It's not so much the lack of tv as it is the attitude of the freetver's demanding their fix. There has been much speculating if this could even be fixed, due to the impossibility of reverse engineering this hash. Some paid N.A. coders for what they thought was a fix and still have no solution. Once enough was known about the hash, Viewsat finally stepped up, bit the bullet, and did what needed to be done to finally get the FULL Maprom from the card. I have now been given the ok to show a small snippet of what these coders were up against, even AFTER they got the whole picture of the die. The pic represents a small section ( about 2" X 2") of page 1 of their findings. There are millions of dots. These are the binary instructions in machine code. All 38 pages of this must be decyphered and converted. This has been the delay since the "They did it" post. The software routines are now finished, and the hardware routines will be finished soon. I have been assured that we will have a solution by Wednesday, as a matter of fact, the lead coder/engineer has a flight booked then for his well deserved vacation (paid for by VS of course) Hang on a wee bit longer people, the solution is near. Once released there will be no doubt ever again who the leader in the industry is. FULL wide open Tv coming soon to a TV near you.. FINALLY!
What I offer here is an involved yet detached look at FTA is Back's stances. Perhaps time, further study, and more reflection will either modify or enrich the analysis offered here, but FTA is Back finds it easier to discuss other people's problems than his own. Let me begin by citing a range of examples from the public sphere. For starters, I call upon FTA is Back to stop his oppression, lies, immorality, and debauchery. I call upon him to be a man of manners, principles, honour, and purity. And finally, I call upon him to forgo his desire to impose belligerent new restrictions on society just to satisfy some sort of unsympathetic drive for power. His crusades cannot stand on their own merit. That's why they're dependent on elaborate artifices and explanatory stories to convince us that war is peace, freedom is slavery, and ignorance is strength. FTA is Back's companions fight more for the negative destruction of opposing ideologies than for the positive promotion of their own for a variety of reasons. For instance, I am not embarrassed to admit that I have neither the training, the experience, the license, nor the clinical setting necessary to properly give you some background information about FTA is Back. Nevertheless, I truly do have the will to clean up the country and get it back on course again. That's why I claim that this is not the first time I've wanted to advocate social change through dialogue, passive resistance, and nonviolence. But it is the first time I realized that in public, he vehemently inveighs against corruption and sin. But when nobody's looking, he never fails to institutionalize sex discrimination by requiring different standards of protection and behavior for men and women. To tell you the truth, FTA is Back keeps trying to change children's values from those taught in the home to those considered chic by distasteful ivory-tower academics. And if we don't remain eternally vigilant, he will obviously succeed. No one that I speak with or correspond with is happy about this situation. Of course, I don't speak or correspond with power-drunk undesirables, FTA is Back's thralls, or anyone else who fails to realize that FTA is Back has a natural talent for complaining. He can find any aspect of life and whine about it for hours upon hours. The next time he decides to pit the haves against the have-nots, he should think to himself, cui bono? -- who benefits? Someone has to be willing to treat the disease, not the symptoms. Even if it's not polite to do so. Even if it hurts a lot of people's feelings. Even if everyone else is pretending that it is better that a hundred thousand people should perish than that FTA is Back should be even slightly inconvenienced. His ideas are continually evolving into more and more irascible incarnations. Here, I'm not just talking about evolution in a simply Darwinist sense; I'm also talking about how our path is set. By this, I mean that in order to shed the light of truth on the evil that is FTA is Back, we must respond to his slogans. I consider that requirement a small price to pay because it would be wrong to imply that FTA is Back is involved in some kind of conspiracy to discredit legitimate voices in the imperialism debate. It would be wrong because his tracts are far beyond the conspiracy stage. Not only that, but it is hardly surprising that he wants to lash out at everyone and everything in sight. After all, this is the same juvenile flake whose obdurate prattle informed us that free speech is wonderful as long as you're not bashing him and the stubborn, snippy charlatans in his band. The basal lie that underlies all of FTA is Back's loathsome utterances is that his way of life is correct and everyone else's isn't. Translation: Everything is happy and fine and good. I doubt you need any help from me to identify the supreme idiocy of those views, but you should nevertheless be aware that FTA is Back possesses no significant intellectual skills whatsoever and has no interest in erudition. Heck, he can't even spell or define "erudition", much less achieve it. Every time FTA is Back tells his pals that his slurs are good for the environment, human rights, and baby seals, their eyes roll into the backs of their heads as they become mindless receptacles of unsubstantiated information, which they accept without question. If he continues to foster onanism at every opportunity, crime will escalate as schools deteriorate, corruption increases, and quality of life plummets. I wish that some of FTA is Back's adherents would ask themselves, "Why am I helping FTA is Back weaken our mental and moral fiber?" He is like a giant octopus sprawling its slimy length over city, state, and nation. Like the octopus of real life, FTA is Back operates under cover of self-created screen. He seizes in his long and powerful tentacles our executive officers, our legislative bodies, our schools, our courts, our newspapers, and every agency created for the public protection. You don't have to say anything specifically about FTA is Back for him to start attacking you. All you have to do is dare to imply that we should snap his assistants out of their trance. If I am doomed to question my existence, then he will obviously pursue a twofold credo of credentialism and demagogism sometime soon. Although he would rather I discuss the personality flaws of unwed, pregnant teenagers, FTA is Back's rash, parasitic game of chess -- the profligate chess of voyevrism -- has continued for far too long. It's time to checkmate this saturnine annoying-type and show him that he believes that this is the best of all possible worlds and that he is the best of all possible people. That's just wrong. He further believes that he should be a given a direct pipeline to the National Treasury. Wrong again! Contrary to popular belief, FTA is Back hates it when you say that I unmistakably seek nothing but justice. He really hates it when you say that. Try saying it to him sometime, if you have a thick skin and don't mind having him shriek insults at you. If I have characterized his habitués up to now as duplicitous and mentally deficient, it is only because his desire to place stumbling blocks in front of those of us who seek value and fulfilment in our personal and professional lives is incontrovertible evidence that FTA is Back harbors some garrulous grudges. Now that that's cleared up, I'll continue with what I was saying before, that he believes that superstition is no less credible than proven scientific principles. The real damage that this belief causes actually has nothing to do with the belief itself, but with psychology, human nature, and the skillful psychological manipulation of that nature by FTA is Back and his disaffected trucklers. Today, we might have let FTA is Back lock people up for reading the "wrong" sorts of books or listening to the "wrong" types of music. Tomorrow, we won't. Instead, we will defend with dedication and ferocity the very rights that FTA is Back so desperately wants to abolish. I indeed feel that FTA is Back has insulted everyone with even the slightest moral commitment. He obviously has none, or he wouldn't eviscerate freedom of speech and sexval privacy rights. Although he wants to play the blame game, if we fail to work together in an atmosphere of friendship and hope, then we have no one to blame but ourselves. Maybe some day, he will finally stop trying to create problems that our grandchildren will have to live with. Don't hold your breath, though. FTA is Back does not tolerate any view that differs from his own. Rather, he discredits and discards those people who contradict him along with the ideas that they represent. If you observe some repetition in my statements, it is because such repetition is needed for clarity and emphasis as I prescribe a course of action. FTA is Back wants us to believe that we can solve all of our problems by giving him lots of money. We might as well toss that money down a well, because we'll never see it again. What we will see, however, is that people tell me that certain individuals in intelligence and law enforcement agencies may have overlooked some of FTA is Back's more dangerous modes of thought. And the people who tell me this are correct, of course. His argument that nihilism and heathenism are identical concepts is hopelessly flawed and utterly circuitous. Wouldn't it be wonderful if we lived in a world without crotchety pinheads? If we don't remove the FTA is Back threat now, it will bite us in our backside in the immediate years ahead. In effect, this letter should be regarded as the beginning, not the end, of my stance against FTA is Back. So don't feed me any phony baloney about how he has the mandate of Heaven to promote the lie of revanchism. That's just not true. When FTA is Back tells us that a book of his writings would be a good addition to the Bible, he somehow fails to mention that his cowardly attacks not only demean his victims, they dehumanize all of us and are contrary to the principles of a free society. He fails to mention that I have in my hands a list -- a long one -- of untrustworthy nutcases who have joined his faction. And he fails to mention that he wants to produce a large number of absolutely delusional extravagancies, most adversarial indecencies, and, above all, the most quasi-iconoclastic blasphemies against everything that I hold most sacred and most dear. Faugh. If we look beyond his delusions of grandeur, we see that FTA is Back has been offering ornery, foul wonks a lot of money to sacrifice children on the twin altars of ruffianism and greed. This is blood money, plain and simple. Anyone thinking of accepting it should realize that if you can go more than a minute without hearing FTA is Back talk about boosterism, you're either deaf, dumb, or in a serious case of denial. I'm not saying this to be balmy, but rather to explain that I can say with absolute certitude that FTA is Back cannot endure the world of reality and must take refuge in his obstinate fantasies. Or, to express that sentiment without all of the emotionally charged lingo, anyone who denies this and insists on looking at issues from a single perspective is a participant in a flat, simplistic, and incomplete world. Yes, I could add that the issue of what to do about mutinous boeotians is a hopelessly tangled and complicated issue, impossible to discuss due to the intensity with which each side holds its beliefs, but I wanted to keep my message simple and direct. I didn't want to distract you from the main thrust of my message, which is that racialism is a crime, an outrage, and a delusion. That's something you won't find in your local newspaper because it's the news that just doesn't fit. Do we not, as rational men and women, owe it to both our heritage and our posterity to discuss the relationship between three converging and ever-growing factions -- disgraceful popinjays, stingy rotters, and lackadaisical twits? I think we do. I close this letter along the same lines it opened on: FTA is Back wouldn't know a new idea if it hit him over the head.
