Season's greetings from Total FTA

Dear member,

The holidays are now here once again and we wanted to take this time in
our first ever email newsletter to convey some words of of kindness
towards our loyal and appreciated membership. Please take the time to read
the message we have for you, if simply because at one point or another in
the past four years we provided you with your fixes. Our site is run by a
group of dedicated volunteers who have really appreciated the support of
all of our members throughout the years, in the good times and the bad,
making us the oldest FTA community in existence.

As many of you know, our web site has been in renovation for the past few
months. It has taken much longer than expected because of different
technical issues that we have experienced along the way. We have now
however established a very reliable and secure setup with a real offshore
hosting provider that can ensure us that no legal issues will ever occur.
As you probably already know, at Total FTA we value your safety and pocket
and wouldn't take risks with that like other less established web sites do.
We have set ourselves up through very elaborate means that provide flawless
protection through offshore jurisdictions.

Our web site will shortly be back online and operational in its entirety.
We have made improvements in all aspects of our community, such as
revamping our brand, design, and operations. Files can now be accessed
quicker and easier through an easy to use page as opposed to being in the
forum as they were before. In the future, we will take more care in
maintaining professionalism and member confidence by doing things like
only releasing how to guides that are of quality and not hard to follow
guides will spelling mistakes like all the other sites do. Through
improvements large and small such as the ones we have just mentioned, we
hope to provide you with a better place to enjoy your satellite testing
experience.

Now onto the good stuff. That Nagra 3 stuff. The question that's on
everyone's minds. As you probably already know, we've been around since
the beginning and are tightly knit with several international groups which
work on things like this. It is a fact that a solution is possible, as it
has already been released in Europe.
It's being worked on by the people
behind the big brands, but as with anything of serious financial value,
they aren't going to reveal any secrets until it's finally released, which
will of course be at Total FTA. Expect for a full working cardless release
to be made public sometime by Superbowl.
In the meantime, we have chosen to
now provide full support for IKS and are now the official release site for
even more brands than ever. You should also know that if your dish is down
right now, there's no reason it should be, there are several solutions that
are working great now.

We'll end this little correspondence by telling you about a cool contest
we've decided to run for the rest of the month. We'll be giving away a few
Sonicview 360 receivers along with modules included. Our contests are
always easy to win and anyone who hasn't participated before should
consider it. We hope to have you back at our community in the near future
so that we can help you get FTA running once again. Have a safe and happy
holidays!

Best wishes,

Total FTA Staff

PS: When you come back to our site you'll have to re-register as we have
cleared our database for preventative safety purposes.

What are the chances, realistically, that Viewsat Ultra ever gets back up and running?

Another hush-hush circulating since some days ago
( in two exclusive private forums)
is that the test period for security attacks on IKS servers
would be from Dec.10th to Dec.17th
( the 10th we already had a little taste of their capabilities).
Once the test period is completed, it will be followed by
a "grace period" until the Holidays are over.
It will be most indicative what awaits for us
with the outcome of events.

This does not sound like rumours. Your comments will be appreciated.
