    Default Re: December 14th is one to watch out for

    Ok! I said in one of the post about 6 weeks a go that I was told things would change for the SD channels at about new year as expressed by a source.
    This source in question told me yesterday 30/11/14 ( someone I know that believe me he works with knowledgeable people and they know about encryptions as is part of their day to day jobs ).

    Now Please do not take this personally and do not take what I say here as a joke just info that I'm just passing around, I personally do not understand the way things work that is all, I hope you know what I mean by saying that. ( as I understand the encryption provider for s*y-uk-Du-It is working to make sure just certain boxes will take the existing encryption used for all S*y Europe tv services ).

    As I was told that it was a massive expensive thing to do only for The UK market hence BSB has taken over all other European companies.
    Anyway this project has already sort of started with the HD channels provided by S*y and other EU tv providers but the SD change was planned for the new year and so far the test done by the people responsible for the encryption has been very highly successful there for they want to distribute the updates with possibly new cards very soon!

    By saying this I would recommend to anyone thinking on using illicit + other ways without having to spell them here, to not go for it. Because as always once they do whatever they are planning to do, others will start studying how to get over it to gain access again.


    As already said I'm sharing this info just because I would not like to get something that may stop working sooner rather than latter!
    And do not ask me why I do know this info or what happens next as I don't have an answer for anyone yet.

    Just wait and see like everyone else as live goes on and good + new things come to those who wait!

    for me i think it will end when there are xx numbers of SD customers only left and they can afford to just give them all and HD box even if they dont have hd channels
    that then stops the issue around old cards not being paired to boxes.

    thats why they have been pushing the upgrade routes for existing customers, once it gets to say 50k SD customers its probably cost effect to give all of them a HD box free ?

    Thanks to Mobileman

    Info Re: December 14th is one to watch out for

    a bit more of an update: it would work like this, you would turn over to a channel which would play for a few seconds then start to flicker between scramble and picture until it was totally scrambled. this will happen on all channels. they tested it recently according to jim.

    again treat it as hear say and guy down the pub, but its worth keeping note in case it DOES happen

    All I'm saying is enjoy it while it lasts.

    It stopped months ago. People are still watching SD channels? Are we in 1994?



    BTW - I love a good game of chinese whispers. It's even better on the internet.

    Muppets you call, one must be the master at it M8 to know what a Muppet is and you the one must look in mirror and see who the master Muppet is.

    And its not me bud.

    Although I work as a engineer within Sky I know quite a few people through meetings I attend and people I talk to via Sky's internal chatter channels and trust me if something was about to happen I would be one that hears whispers and those whispers tend to be true.

    If I hear of anything you lot are the last to know that's for sure.

    Me I've been involved in loads of projects and been involved in quite a few large forums over the years and this is the only forum I get shit upon but I have thick skin and to be honest take it with a pinch of salt.

    I just get on with life and stay away from the assholes on this planet and trust me their are quite a few on DF that's for sure but I just have a habit of opening my mouth and say what comes out and regret it afterwards.

    But hay................................................... life goes on and I'm still involved with bits and bobs that you fuckers will never EVER see the light of day or am I... is it crap.... Am I telling the truth... is it Chinese whispers?

    Who knows but as I've said in the past.................. time will tell.

    Evening all

    my mate stupidly cancelled his card... today i got new card its looking different @realist i assume red cards have been out a while? is that the case.
    anyway if it decides it doesnt want to play i at least have a good starting point to see what exactly is going on.
    be intersting to see if it will activate im assuming it wont, but im going log the activation in the box worse case and at least get an idea whats changed i dont have access to the skybox to see if it has new software,.,thats the only downside

    Thanks to -X-

    The new red cards was sent on trial about 3 months ago (yes I had one) and they have started to distribute out to new customers for the last 3 weeks.

    New Cards
