The best DSS provider on the net !!

Tuesday, August 20th.

As of today, DSSWorld is no longer selling "H" card.

It's been over 6 years since the H Card was first introduced to the satellite world and today marks the beginning of the end for the P2 stream. Channels have begun to fall off and it doesn't look like they'll be coming back. Many people had speculated that the H Card stream would be shut off at the end of August. Some discarded the information as heresay or just another wild rumor.

As of today Dave has begun removing the H stream from the 119 bird. At Dave headquarters there is a slave card which is used to generate the packets fed into the datastream, the slave card is always the oldest card being used. So in this case it is an H, now for the HU and P4 to be able to run off that dave uses an adjustment byte so that they can generate the correct keys, the 7E byte is used for HU and 7F for P4.

Today the slave card(s) used for the 119 bird was swapped to an HU, the 7E adjustment byte is no longer in the datastream, therefore the H cannot generate the proper keys.

Over the next few days we will see the rest of the channels start to loose the 7E adjustment, and the H will no longer be able to generate video.

Dave is also changing other aspects of the datastream, such as CMD90's not being encrypted right now and coming down in VA packets (INS40).

Heres a "schedule" of what channels are to be axed next.
