C&P from another site 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. 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!
Exactly, all of the manufacturers have a stake in this, not just VS.
And to all those posting about true FTA, thats a load of BS as well. If a bin is not released FTA sales will take a serious nose dive. How many FTA receivers have been sold in the last week?
Sure no FTAs sold in the last week, but how many receivers out today as compared to before people started to load bins to decrypt DN? There is a market right now for FTA broadcasts if no fix is found! And with receivers available dirt cheap if no fix, why not buy for just FTA in the future?
I am with Reggie Miller!!! I dont care who is da leader, first, last, middle, or what! Just get it done man!!!! Been waitin and patient for long time now!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
