anyone seen sky living plus 1, sky sports 4 and skysports news not working today via third party servers? on same TP?

If we're lucky its just a glitch, if not then it could be that they are finally upgrading their encryption, which was supposed to happen at the beginning of January.
Is the other Sky sports 4 still working?

i did a re scan on this TP and all 20 channels dont work



ssp4 is working on 11915

Seems that it's mainly on freq 12148H 27500 that they are having 'issues' as for example Sky Sports 4 SD on 11914H 27500 seems fine for me!
e.g. Sky Sports 1 on 12148H not working either! Unfortunately Eurosport 1 & 2 are also on 12148H and therefore not opening either!
Living +1 on 12265H 27500 seems fine, but on 12148H it's not!
Think things may be afoot??

Eurosport 1 & 2 also on 12148 are down at present. That's with an official card in a VU+ box running oscam.

I've been told encryption change on 12148H, working on official box.

No further info.

In my opinion I don't think its anything as sinister as Hardware Pairing.

If you check the ECM length its B0

I dont think any EMU can currently handle that ECM length.

If this is the case we will have to wait for a patch from Oscam. As far as using CCcam, well a patch for that isnt going to happen.

Im just checking through all other working UK channels and so far none are using B0 , so hopefully this is all it is. I'm hoping I dont find any that are working and also using B0 lol

Ian.

EDIT: Scratch that

Sky Atlantic is using 79 and thats not working either.

sparky_dog
28-03-2017, 09:41 PM
ECM length 79 is a new one too, I think Atlantic was previously 71. The new ECM length is being rejected by oscam as a dud.

Hopefully, it's nothing worse and there will be a fix soon.

ITS A Transponder Fault @ 28.2E 12148 H 27500 ALL Channels on that TP are Dark even using my Own Sky + HD Box with my Sky card in it even Sky Sport Box Office not work Either showing FTA Promo's for WWE PPV !!!
No Encryption Change !!
phoned Sky they said it will hopefully be fixed in next 24-48hrs as there has been many reports exactly the same isues with that freq tonight . : )

wel my sky hd box with card in it clears them channels on that frequency u must have an old sky hd box i even have a multiroom sd box and put the card back in that and it clears the channels on that frequency also

That's odd Barney, seen it reported elsewhere that these channels are still working on official boxes... Also, I can't see any related complaints on the official help forum, and the channels have been down all day.

Sky Sport Box Office promos are not FTA, the channel is still encrypted but FTV.

Something has definitely changed with the ECMs on 12148H, a support ticket to look at the issue has been logged with oscam.

Barney
29-03-2017, 12:14 AM
YES I HAVE VERY old Sky HD box Have never Ever used it untill this evening , even calling Sky they tried to send activation signals
which failed and thats when they said it looks like its a technical fault and should be resolved soon ,
i suppose its no great surprise they start to mess about with freq for WWE PPV first to avoid anyone watching on linux boxes and probably stops IPTV Streams aswell ??

i have oscam reading card on my dmbox but its an old version IF a fix or patch can be found does than mean i must upgrade to a newer Oscam vsersion if indeed a new patched version can be made ???

ian
29-03-2017, 07:41 AM
Yes Barney you will have to update.

The ticket thats been raised on the Oscam forum only mentions the ECM size of 79 and doesnt mention B0 and for the life of me I cannot figure out how to comment and tell them its B0 as well.

Ian.

Sussed it, you have to login before you can comment.

Does anyone know if these 12148 MHz channels are working on old SD boxes - there are supposed to be many thousands of the old non-HD boxes still out there in regular use. My guess is that they are not working.

But if the these 12148 MHz channels are working on old SD boxes, that opens an opportunity to investigate, as it has been reported that the old SD boxes are not secure.

[QUOTE=Burnham;963335]Does anyone know if these 12148 MHz channels are working on old SD boxes

I have an old SD box in a spare bedroom, but for Freesat only, so cannot check Sky Sports (SSports package) or Eurosport (Entertainment) without subscribing!! lol!!

12148H still off as reported yesterday on TM5402HD M3 with cs however, but to me, as a sports fanatic it's the loss of Eurosport on it's ONLY SD transponder 12148H which bothers me the most!

i have a sky q box and all channels work no problem.
People who claim on a real box on TP working must have a Crystal ball, as there is nothing on a sky-box to tell you what TP your on or info :)

seems to me sky moved channels to new tp`s if a fault, as a few i could find from a new scan, but sky Atlantic was only 2 and both the same TP and dead

on the vu in the bedroom, all on the said TP are dead, some 20 channels

people talking of SD card pairing, someone told me ages ago cant be done due to the old chips and old menus on SD boxes?

just turned the vu on
and
51% signal on 12148 and dead on ssp4

Haven't used a Sky box for a while, but you used to be able to identify which transponder you were using by selecting manual tuning from the menu, it showed the last TP in use.

I would also add that the missing channels are still being broadcast on 12148H, and haven't turned up on any other TP.


Anyway, I've a feeling that this may be more than a quick fix. It is being reported that the 79 ecm length is also in use on Racing UK, and that is still clearing. It might be a red herring.

so strange

It's easy to swap out 4 of the effected channels if you follow the readme text in /usr/lib/enigma2/python/Plugins/AutoBouquetsMaker/custom

Swapping out 122, 128, 404 & 406 - for their working counter parts - 1181, 1096, 498 & 1187
"using the Example file in the custom directory"

To make your own custom LCN file just delete 'EXAMPLE_' from the file name

I added the following which worked fine for me.


<configuration lcn="122" channelnumber="1181" description="Sky Living+1"></configuration>
<configuration lcn="1181" channelnumber="122" description="Sky Living+1"></configuration>
<configuration lcn="128" channelnumber="1096" description="ComedyXtra"></configuration>
<configuration lcn="1096" channelnumber="128" description="ComedyXtra"></configuration>
<configuration lcn="404" channelnumber="498" description="Sky Sports 4"></configuration>
<configuration lcn="498" channelnumber="404" description="Sky Sports 4"></configuration>
<configuration lcn="406" channelnumber="1187" description="Sky Sp NewsHQ"></configuration>
<configuration lcn="1187" channelnumber="406" description="Sky Sp NewsHQ"></configuration>

But please bear in mind that:

It all depends on how you have ABM configured im using Tyne Custom & have "include not indexed channels set to yes"

you really need to find you own working counterparts eg: in not indexed make a note of the numbers and change accordantly in "Example 282_sky_uk_CustomLCN.xml"

Then just run AutoBouquetsMaker Scanner

Sky Italia introduced a two way encryption awhile back which has proved to be effective on Cs it's nds+icam

As for ICAM, it has yet to be 'cracked' since its implementation on Sky Italia!

Although in the case of Sky UK, there are some old SD boxes which could be dumped and worked on I suppose.

Question is, will anyone bother to do it considering the quality is not HD and the channels themselves may be removed from transmission shortly after!

How can they implement a new encryption if that is the case with unsecured sd boxes for all to see?

Even old SD boxes support ICAM encryption (in addition to the usual NDS encryption), which appears to be the cause of the issue!

Coincidence that Sky Uk have a 3 day sale on?

Above is views of others...

Oscam ECM Size Increased from 596 to 1024 Globally.

Can someone who has a Sky UK local card please test this.

Its a simple build with just the Global ECM size increased. It has no patches or EMU's its just built to test the theory that Sky may have increased their ECM sizes. If it works a proper build can be done returning the Global size to 596 and defining NDS to 1024 permanently. Then adding patches and EMU. If it doesnt work then the increase in ECM size can be ruled out once and for all.

Unless a Server I'm connected too has this ( which they do not ) then they cannot send me the correct ECM. So it has to be tested with a Sky UK local.

@Ian, you could inject it into a hacked box that's using oscam as a server if you don't get any joy here, just look for a STB that is using local cards in oscam readers file that is sharing, then inject via a custom ipk file that restarts oscam after injection.

i went ahead and deleted my oscam binary file and loaded the binary that you posted @ ian
I RESTARTED Oscam after FTP'ing the oscam bin file
but still TCM , SBO PPV , Sky Sport News HQ Etc.. Fails to open anything on 12148 H
everything still apart from that one transponder still works .
if someone else wishes to test please do so just incase i may have done some mistake because im no Oscam expert i'm afraid :nopity:

I JUST Inserted card into my old Sky Ire SD Pace Reciever to test again and now all channels at 12148 H are working with card inserted in my very old Sky SD Box
but Entitlements changed today all now at 21-05-2017
i think this is due to sky sending those activation signals last night to my card ??
it must have needed an update in order to clear those dark channels on my Sky SD Box i suppose .
But this looks like worst news especially since it appears to be something more than ECM Length issue causing this dark screens on 12148 H
i fear with what ive read so far that tommorrow possibly will likely bring even further bad news :frown:

ian
29-03-2017, 08:06 PM
It would be foolhardy to say the least for them to implement the ICAM encryption on boxes that can be fully dumped, So personally I cannot see it being that.

However, if they have been stupid enough to do exactly that,then this could be a blessing in disguise over the long term.

Short term though, I think its time to purchase that cable tuner Ive been meaning to buy for several months now.

Absolutely mate - already got it on my TM5402HD M3 - but that's NOT the point surely here?
12148H is the ONLY frequency upon which Eurosport 28E can be obtained, unlike other Sky Sports channels which can 'luckily' be found on more than ONE freq!
NB: Scanned in 12148H as 'added channel' on my Sky+ HD box - and they ALL still open ok, SD and HD!

On a happier note, there are rumours of a fix on the way.

Barney
30-03-2017, 12:15 AM
HOPEFULLY A Fix will indeed be coming but will it arrive before all Transponders go totally dark ..its not looking likely ??
Oscam devolopers have yet to respond to that open ticket and if i recall correctly there was no response when sky it started dropping out pretty fast aswell .
i do hope im wrong however i really do : ))

30-03-2017, 12:36 AM
This maybe what the OP is reffering too

I have taking the following from another Forum


Not a huge contributor on here, but am a constant user to keep updated and abreast of things, I'm not a server owner or a programmer etc, just an enthusiast who read the old threads earlier and didn't respond to any of the guesswork that was going on as basically that was all it was, uneducated guesswork.

I know there was mention above of not posting messages regarding "My mate said this or that" etc, but I do actually know two people personally who are involved with Oscam work and programming, one of them whom I know from my university days is directly involved with the upkeep and admin at the site "Streamboard" also, there's no info more up to date than the info he has access to and that is fact.

In an earlier thread that has since been deleted there was an actual link to Streamboard, anybody who checked it would have seen that it went into the actual technical side of what was happening, not random guesswork, having had a conversation with somebody directly involved I can confirm a few things, everything that I'm about to write will be updated and confirmed through Streamboard in due course once everything has been finalized, the only reason I'm taking the time to do this is because of the guesswork and scaremongering that's been going on, although unintentional that's pretty much all that's happened since yesterday so some facts might help put some folk at ease to an extent.

The facts as to what is actually happening were touched upon in the above mentioned link and that is that there is nothing within the Entitlement Control Message (ECM) that is affecting things right now, so all talk of ecm changes are just nonsense, as is transponder talk.

The problem exists within the CW (Control Word)....The actual encryption data itself

Now this is where the technical side of it went way over my head during my conversation, but the laymans terms that I got was that the encryption has not changed in the same way it did for HD or for the same way it did with Sky Italia, the encryption is compatible with existing Sky cards, including the old white 09's which is where local cards and shared cache's get the required data to make card sharing possible, so that also makes the talk of changing over Thompson Receivers to Sky +HD nonsense also, its completely irrelevant.

What they have done is quite clever apparently but it will 100% be worked out, the changes that will be required to be made will all be within the "oscam.config" which is basically the standard configuration file that servers use to run and make this all possible, so server owners will be getting access to an updated config file once completed and the missing channels will be back.

This is as close to the horses mouth as you will get and I have been told categorically that this is absolutely NOT the end of cardsharing as we know it and when the config is complete and uploaded things will continue as they were once servers have been updated to the new config.

There is a but though and that is the reasoning behind what has happened the last few days, the general feeling is that Sky were testing a few channels to see what the result was, that unfortunately is not true, Sky and anybody with a certain level of understanding of encryptions would know that no test is required, the results of the changes that were made are set in stone and known before they were put in place therefore there is no test required or needed.

That is where the but comes in because what has happened is fixable with a configuration change, Sky and the programming engineers working with Sky know that just as much as the guys who deal with oscam, they know its fixable and can be worked around, so the actual reason behind it is a mystery.
Its not just to disrupt or to annoy, that much is clear, but the real reason is unclear at the moment as the changes they have made don't really relate to anything they can build on long term as once worked around that's it, it cant be implemented into a different part of the whole procedure so its not clear why they did it or what the overall goal of it was but its obviously something much bigger and more complex, whether its something that could happen next week or next year nobody knows, but its clear that some serious thought and investment has been put in to this and its one of the biggest changes or moves that Sky have made to in a long time, so the general feeling from someone directly involved is that something much bigger is on the way, but as above the timescale is not known.
Sky have obviously always taken it seriously and attempted to stop it but it looks as though they have upped the effort on it and are seriously taking steps to put an end to it long term, or at least until the technology to work around it comes to light.

I know some people on here will no doubt rubbish everything that I have put down here because I'm not directly involved with oscam or servers and because I'm not a TK Veteran etc etc, but what I've put down will be available through streamboard in due course and a lot of it already is there to read up on, so please take the time to research a little into the technical facts of what is going on and with what I've tried to explain here and hopefully I've helped put some minds at ease a little.

Saw that last night, he certainly goes into some detail and it all sounds plausible.

One thing is for sure, it's been an easy ride recently, and I can't see a business like sky or vm lying down while vast numbers of these boxes are being sold, in addition to the ones already in circulation. They have the answer, go cardless - but this must be a long term aspiration as it would cost a fortune to swap all the boxes out. In the short to medium term, I'm sure they would love to stop cs, as they have pretty much effectively in Italy. I think they have swapped out all the older gen boxes there though.

Barney
30-03-2017, 09:37 AM
I Hope the above story is true it at least sounds legit and realistic
but
They have the answer, go cardless
this involves internet and ethernet connections very similar like dmbox and c/s ??
only difference would be Sky will control their own massive commercial payserver base themselves :rofl:

one things for certain they wont be able to enforce that here in Eire for quite a long time if Even Ever infact
at least not untill Fiber broadband becomes a reality or even broadband of any description which is a very major problem
there is still hundreds of thousands of irish peeps here struggling here with internet via a dongle or via pathetic satellite broadband at maybbe 1mb or most times a lot less than that plus days without any connection at all that is a fact !!
it might be possible in UK since 99% is covered via fiber links but thats obviously far from a reality in Ireland .
i thank @ ^^COMPASS^^ for this very helpfull info which brings good and bad news both to us all
but if there can be a rather simple fix for this problem for now at least its something postive to look forward to ,
at the very least it will allow oscam guys to show us what changes were done and what it involves to resolve those changes at least for now .
cheers !

Ashamed to admit that I can confirm several of the rubbish UK prawn channels no longer opened last night & was too shy to come straight out and report it. So thanks to seamouse for helping break the ice. :D

As far as I am concerned it will be no big loss for me considering my age and the fact that I have seen the repeats shown 1000's of times. I am finding it hard to find what I would miss TBH as have mostly found enough to entertain me on Freeview & freesat these days. Not to mention other stuff like AWS, Flix, IPTV.

From a technical perspective it's a new challenge to try and overcome which for me is a big part of what this 'hobby' has always been about.

I think you are spot on, this site has always been more of a hobbyist community, CS has made it too easy and has become virtually a retail offering. I won't miss it, TBH I don't watch much of it now... only the boxing really. Even if this goes, there will still be plenty of CS opportunities for those with multisat.

Dust off the motor, and get back to finding the fta offerings and feeds!

It makes you wonder by paying way over the odds to secure EPL rights, it has left the rest of the business in a bit of a pickle??

If they hadn't paid so much,it would have given them the finances to end SD boxes for good in favour of HD ones

Plus they haven't launched a HD channel for such a long time.You would think they would be adding a HD version at the rate of one a month

Also if many more UKTV channels go FTA that will be another blow to them

Kodi is hitting them hard too, theres a new campaign to stop people watching streams

IMHO I think over next few years, Now TV boxes will be pushed more & offer HD variants too
Its much cheaper to distribute compared to traditional methods

I done a ping on my server and noted the IP address and put it in my line instead of the server name.

Jings, I've heard some TOSH in my time, do you even know what a DNS server is?

If I was to ping google I'd get it's IP address - instead of trying to remember that address, I just type google - that's what a DNS server does, whether it's your ISP/Google or some other server that that providing it.

You really should try using google sometimes before posting - as you're making yourself seem silly.

Sorry guys but the above has worked for me.
I am using an Openbox V8S and Mgcamd.
I switch DHCP on and nothing clears.
Switch DHCP off and input 8.8.8.8. manually as 1st DNS and reboot and all clears.

This would suggest that the ISP's are blocking this traffic.

Firstly DNS and DHCP are two entirely different things.

DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) is used to give out an IP address, so instead of needing to set a static IP address on all your network devices - the DHCP server assigns an IP for a specific time period.

DNS (Domain Name System) Is used to name a computer (host) so you don't need to know the IP address it has been assigned from the DHCP server.

Also an ISP can't block anything on your Local network - so if your STB is using Oscam and reading a card, how do you think that your ISP has anything to do with that?

Well you would understand that, you most likely weren't connected to a CS server, and now you are - which is bugger all to do with ISP's blocking the ports your box is connected to your share on - or fixing the encryption (change) that sly has now implemented.

to at least give full clarity that Sky have implemented this iCAM Encryption change , as we see already with Sky IT no change in Boxes was required to do a full black out on all HD/SD channels and Fully stop Cardsharing Dead altho' they did kill off a lot of pre paid cards beforehand but i doubt that is even relevant on this occasion !!

Just so everyone understands what is happening with my Openbox.
On Tuesday, like everyone one else, I lost all the channels on 12,148. The other channels still cleared.
Today, Thursday, I lost all the channels.
After changing the DNS servers on the Openbox to public DNS servers, the channels cleared except Eurosport 1 & 2 and, having just checked, the rest on 12,148.
Changing back to the ISP DNS servers and I loose all channels.

The only conclusions I can take from all of this is.
1. My ISP is stopping some traffic through its DNS servers.
2. Some/All people on this forum did not lose all the channels today and still have them all bar those on 12,148 working.

Am I the only one who lost all the channels today?

BillyBits

Yes, you are the only one who lost all the channels, the rest only lost the transponders mentioned, which don't look like returning.
We knew this was going to happen last year, and were warned they planned on doing it by new year, it's just taken a little longer, quicker than I personally expected, as I thought it might be before the start of the next football season.

Exactly @ ctn
British Eurosports 1 and 2 and Sky Sport Box Office SD will not be working again on 28.2E

There is a lot of other Channels on that Transponder like Sky Sport 4, News HQ @ 12148 H can be found on other Freq's [ Irish ROI versions ]
But The SD iCAM pairing process has begun and within 6-8 weeks only Freesat Channels will remain working !!

The open Ticket i see on Oscam board was closed today ..Meaning there wont be any solution and everything will be gone on 28.2E
again due to commercial advertising Payservers they all will be nowhere to be found in the next 2-3 months max : ))

Much of the older stuff on GOLD is now shown on Yesterday

Its expected but by no means certain that many more UKTV will go FTA

Hi Guys,

So some have noticed and some have not noticed that some channels on one of skys transponders have currently gone blank

• Fox+
• Sky Atlantic
• Sky Living +1
• TCM
• Sky sports 4
• Sky sports news HQ
• Eurosport 1
• Eurosport2

Most of these are currently running on a different transponder which can be located via manual scans, We are following this closely and are currently spending a lot of time logging data to resolve this issue, i am also following a private development forum who are also working on this issue, We know this is not a new form of hardware pairing and is software related which in theory means resolving it will be a easier task for us.

Like all things there many forums and people giving the normal rubbish “its the end blah blah blah”
I’ve read this same comments for years now on forums and is a reason why i do not use any of these and keep to private forums for people who actually understand what is going on.

This is not a quick fix and may take us a couple of weeks to figure it out but bare with us whilst our team and many others work on getting the solution implemented.

Cardsharing has been a cat and mouse game for many years just like most things in life, and we love the challenge of resolving new problems

Canal Plus Sport Poland is fine for me....loads of eurosport channels open on different sats with english commentary in hd.

as far as iptv goes it takes up to much bandwith for a lot of people and the PQ is not the best to say the least, still plenty of stuff on foreign sats imho.

Satellite CS is not the only source... UK HD is mostly sourced from cable cardshare - which is gradually going cardless, so will also be lost sooner or later. Not sure about Italia. Some IPTV is sourced from official subbed boxes, but his makes it very expensive to provide. The better providers are a mix of the two.

We should know in next few hours what will next Transponder/s to go dark and use this iCAM encryption will be ....?

its already pretty much confirmed on Oscam board that Sky uk SD are using iCAM encryption
and yes its possible a solution could be found but seems nobody is that much interested however ...

ian
04-04-2017, 07:37 AM
I'm not so sure it has been confirmed Barney.

To me at least it seems like a math problem with the C++ code whereby the bytes are being read in the wrong sequence. Its been suggested that the starting point should be moved 4 bytes further on to be able to read from these effected ECM's. This would be achieved by modifying the Oscam config file to give this option. However, in my opinion, this would be an either or setting rather than allowing for both types of reading, so it may simply be a case of them waiting until more/all Transponders start to use this method.

We shall see.

Can you imagine the inbox on these payservers over the next few weeks lol

Slighty off topic but Now TV is a good buy and then get your codes from the site you buy and sell stuff on. Ive been doing that for the kids for nearly two years now. Going rate is £10 for two months sky cinema. Look out for deals too, last month we got a pizza from pizza hut and it came with a weeks sports pass to use at anytime so the week after we got another pizza. Now TV is great for me being a trucker.

There is still plenty out there if you have a motor, the only people this will really hurt is the payservers and the people who bought lines from them and dont have a motor or any sat knowledge.

We still have Tberg for the footy, good fun on a saturday afternoon watching the footy and having running commentary from Barney on United :-)

They have found half of the valid key

Info is from other forums

later on it goes to check for these bytes inside ECM. But with new ECM those should now be 0x00, 0x72, 0x01

I've changed it to 0x72 and recompiled. I get "found" on ECMs now, but the picture is still not appearing. The returned CW is always half zeroes and half valid key (I guess it's valid).

By the way I DID NOT apply the "patch" posted above that strips last 4 bytes of ECM. If I do this, the returned CW is always completely zeroed.

I'm almost sure there is something more we are missing, something related to changed length of ECM. We should parse the reader-videoguard2.c for more hardcoded stuff.

One good thing for me is that this issue has caused me to come back to this forum again . CS made me lazy . A few years ago I ended up just signing up to a paid CS server , where I've been ever since . After seeing a blank screen on TCM last night (I'd been away for a few weeks) , it led me to search for the 12148 TP , which let me to here . The problem I have now is that I've forgotten all the ECM technical stuff . So it's back to school again for me :) But that's where the fun is anyway . I still have my programmers and gold/silver cards downstairs . So maybe we can start development again on the Magic Module ? :)

The reason 28.2°E will be dark screens soon will be due to commercial paid CS servers
italians could not figure out the extra layers involved with this iCAM encryption and i very much doubt a solution will be found for UK TV Either : )
The greedy Commercial payservers and their never ending adverts have killed many good packages not only Italy and UK but many others French,Albania,Greece etc..etc..
i wonder where Mr.Payserver and thier spam adverts will be hidden when everything is dark ??

Sin duda , pero qué más da tío ...? Y lo que querías decir era "People like you are the CAUSE of this" . I was probably to blame for the fall of Irdeto , Viaccess , Nagra etc as well , when I bought all my programmers , cards , CAMs and the rest of the gear . Did you really think that cs was going to be contained within a group of friends ? Anyway . This has been discussed enough through the years . I don't have any regrets . There's a black screen again now , which is what it's always all been about . How you want to go about clearing it imho is completely up to the individual . Saying that . If you're looking for a scapegoat , then I'm your man .

it was similar, whenI first started, as we had a card and used to have to telephone, for codes, to input into the card, to be able to view Saturday 3PM football games.
When the encryption was upgraded we had to send the card away, to be upgraded, as card programmers were not available, or way too expensive.
Companies then produced affordable card programmers, so that we could do things ourselves, so perhaps we should blame duolabs, and others, for making things too accessable, for enthusiasts.
Or perhaps we should blame those that used their receivers, and internet access, to share official cards, instead of paying full subscriptions, to all providers, for starting the process?
Personally I blame companies that were too blatant, selling products with a gift, on certain ******* sites, so that anyone could buy a receiver, for cheap money, and view channels, some of these people still don't seem to understand the process, of this gift, or that there are so many other satellites, and channels, available, or how to use a different server, instead they request details on how to renew this gift, then complain when the gift is no longer working.
You can imagine the fun when the Sky channels do finally go encrytped.
Will these people demand a refund?

We have had many discussions, on this subject, over the years, and always we get people blaming others.
I wonder if these same members wont use a paid server if that server is the only way to view channels, if only by an IPTV route?
Will their holier than thou principles still hold firm, or will they quickly pay up?

I was thinking the same thing, the European Union was supposed to open television access, so we weren't forced to subscribe to Sky UK, but choose a provider, within the EU.
Unfortunately certain providers have too much control, and will never give it up, it suits them that we have limited options.

Hi Why are people so stupid...do you not realise that providers like Sky have bills to pay like you and me..how are they going to pay all the billions to football clubs etc. What happens if Sky goes bust,,what will you be watching then???

Slightly off topic, sorry, but it is my opinion that if Sly reduced their charges to a sensible amount, It wouldn't be worth it for payservers, so Sly would end up with more subscribers. Plus they wouldn't have to waste money developing new encryption methods.

I remember in 1991 watching football league live on 10 East (Eutelsat 1F5)on a bad quality feed due to having only a 60cm dish. My first game involved Liverpool at 3pm Saturday. It was FTA and had Martin Tyler providing commentary. Worldwide soccer provided one 3pm match each Saturday and then this company would show all the goals from the top flight in the Big Match Live on Sunday during the live offering on ITV. Those were the days, now all games are available and the price we now have to pay, but to be fair I would rather have today's choice rather then the 44 live games we use to have and the extras we would find with our dish. Shame about the price but that is just today's world.

I agree with sentiment that Sky should be prepared to allow us more freedom of choice, e.g. by being able to sub to Sports only! This is exactly what I did in analogue days on 19E back in early 1990's!
However, when Eurosport is now very conveniently a part of Sky Entertainment by the time it gets presented to US and we therefore have to sub THAT package as WELL as Sky Sports, it shows very clearly what rip-off merchants Uncle Rupie & co. really are?? lol!!

Rather than payservers, I would say that the final nail in the coffin has been folk selling 'plug in and go' boxes like a retail offering, no sat or computer knowledge required, with a 12 or 24 months line sub installed. They are (still) selling thousands of them all over the place, high st. shops, bay of e, facebook, etc., etc... no business is going to stand their copyrighted material being ripped off and sold mass market like that.

I guess when there's money to be made out of it, it was inevitable.

What do you mean 'Rather than payservers'? What do you think enables a 'Plug'N'Play' box? And everyone that call things 'gifts'? Just another name for a payserver. Dress it up however you want, its all the same. I have NEVER and will NEVER use a payserver. Because I am not lazy or a tight ass. I have a legit card and in return I have never beeen unable to watch anything I have ever wanted in over 10 years.

Too many people want to pay £50 and watch everything for ever. And the end result is black screens. I'm glad sky uk is going. Maybe then it will get back to the better days.

We have heard this before, when Sky Italy upgraded their encryption, then we had rumours that it was cracked, but they were keeping it secret, and still nothing.

Wait until they implement the full encryption change, and get rid of all the old receivers, before even speculating on a solution.

If you think I'm defending payservers, I am certainly not - and for 20-odd years I've paid out my whack of official subs too. What I am saying is that I don't think that it's simply the existance of payservers that have caused the current situation per se. Payservers have existed since the beginning of cardsharing, and if cardshare swaps had brought about the same level of lost subscription sales as payservers have now, the outcome would have been the same.

After an initial flurry of activity, the cardshare scene seems to have been 'tolerated' for a few years, with minimal counter measures. The flood of cheap ready-to-go openbox/zgemma etc. boxes, not to mention illegal IPTV services, must now be making a real measurable dent in takings. No business is going to sit back and let that carry on.

I agree that CS has made folk lazy, I used to contribute as much FTA boxing as I could find on here, but noticed interest has gradually dwindled. If UK CS does go kaput, interest in FTA and feeds might well have a bit of a resurgence.

C/S downfall is the miriad of hand holding tutorials strewn all over the net and on every forum. In the early days, it took a week to find out what a dreambox was, and then when you joined a forum no one would talk about it until you had been on a while and gained some trust. Now you join a forum, make a 'Hi' post and get all the info you need to be running a payserver by the evening. Its just a shame we cant go back to D2Mac days and start over again! :nopity:

As an aside, does anyone really give a toss it is going to end? All the good programs that are on Sky can be got on Kodi or android apps ect ect and usually before sky show them anyway. Sports can still be got on Euro servers as well as IPTV. Plus with a cheap VPN on legit apps too. Movies can be streamed month in advance of anything Sky shows. It is no great loss that sky will be gone soon for anyone whom wants to do the tiniest bit of work.

Those extra channels was a god send as most of us, as we only had four channels to pick from. Shame pure greed took over, now we have a massive choice at a premium. Long live the motorised dish and the hours of fun we still have looking for far away channels and feeds.

Yes agreed hundred percent. Good old D2mac which provided lot of entertainments in 80s and 90s. You could have the card programmed for a fiver. Lots of good old black and white comedy movies free on TV. Now everything is commercialised. You have to pay for it. Free sports were the entertainment for the poor's. Now billionaires want to be trillionaires . Such people are trapped in the egos.

A motorized dish can receive a lot of different satellites, and channels, not everything revolves around Sky UK.
There was satellite television long before Sky UK even started.

It was case of less channels but better quality
Now there are 1000's of channels (especially UK & Italy ) with almost all of it rubbish
Im sure if other packages carried more English audio we would subscribe

Sky Germany, and Movistar +, on 19.2E, have plenty of channels, most with an English Audio option.
I tend to flick between the History, National Geographic, Discovery and A&E options, but there are plenty of Film, Sports, and General Entertainment channels available, and most of them without the annoying advertisemnents, which means that you can watch science fiction, comedy, or other series, without it being split into segments, for advertisements.

If you check the audio options, on a lot of the sports channels, on 19.2E, showing Premier League games, there's an option without commentary, but with the crowd noise, which I prefer.

I have used my Vu+Duo2 for picture from YPbPr to TV for my 1080HD and audio from freeview pvr (need to pause for about 5 seconds to sync up easy done) from R5Live or TalkSport for commentary. Have done for years as I prefer radio commentary anyway. Far more entertaining!

Yes Funtime. I tried this today. Was watching Hull on 13 east from our Polish friends. Turn the sound down and then went online for 5 live commentary. But I found that the online commentary was about 6 seconds behind the picture. Will need a proper radio with delay function in order to achieve this. Most internet streams are great but can be unreliable. But I am sure by the start of next season, someone somewhere will have this sorted for the better and the cat and mouse game will start all over again.

Yes cricket is a lot harder to find. But those with internet access may be interested that some county websites have a fixed camera on the wicket showing live coverage from one end. This is for county championship games. Last season Nottingham and Glamorgan had live four day games with local radio commentary. Not the best coverage but a added extra to enjoy. International cricket is covered on lots of Asian channels but most of them are only available on IPTV. Once the county championship returns after the one day cup look out for live streaming of your local team if available. Hopefully there will be lots to watch. I enjoyed Glamorgan playing Gloucestershire at the end of last season, when the ball is hit into the outfield, the ball speeds away then the commentator lets you know if it has reached the boundary. Better to see something rather then just hear about it.

I like your style Barney.

Can't wait for it all to go dark myself just to see what the pay server s***bags do. Already see them sending out loads of 'limited time only offers' before the end comes. Wonder if they'll refund the suckers dumb enough to sign up once it's all over?

Sky is pantz. Not value for money by any stretch of anyone's imagination AND it never has been. Apart from sport there is nothing worth signing up for but to get the sport you have to sign up to the crap first.

Always end up looking for sport elsewhere anyway & will continue to do so in future as long as it can be found. How much longer for is anyone's guess but it does seem that other options on SAT have been slowly drying up under the "if you don't encrypt like us, you don't get the rights" campaign. Can't blame them for trying to protect their business but I think most here know the real reason CS became intolerable. Too many punters leaving to take up with cheap PS. Ruined it for those of us with the tech savvy to share privately.

....and yet I seem to remember being at a similar crossroads several times in the past and something has always turned up. So who knows what the future may hold for us.....................

True mate, when I first signed up for Sky in the old analogue days on 19E, I only paid for Sky Sports and nothing else, but now as you say you also have to pay for Entertainment as well to get Sports - PLUS, because Eurosport isn't part of Sky Sports, you need even MORE channels to pay for to get THAT too, but separately!!
CRAZY - plus mega rip off!!

Yes Murdock TV is just totally the most Over-Rated Advert filled garbage package of channels ,
its really hard to believe that so many people pay massive amounts of money
to fund this irrelevant package and make Mr.Murdock the huge backstabbing Billionaire that he is today !!
my sat dish very rare if it ever moves to 28E at all these days
im more than content with the amount of quality Feeds that are still knocking about ,
after Murdock TV is history which will not be long at all i believe Live Feeds and IPTV will be the future of watching TV
only question remains is when all these commercial servers stop funding Murdock TV and plenty of other subscribers quit paying
will Murdock still afford to pay for EPL and dominate the market ??
i would imagine its going to get pretty buzy at various Sky Call centers this summer with very large numbers withdrawing their subscriptions
i think anyone with even half a brain will be making that phone call to Sky and taking their hard earned $'s elsewhere :respect-048:
and the Commercial subscribers will begin to advertise like they are doing already with "Free Gift " IPTV Bundles and so-called Bargains
and thus the money keeps rolling in again as before with cheapo IPTV Streaming Boxes and "Gifts" advertised everywhere we look ..LOL's !!!

If I remember right I used to subscribe to sky sports 1 for about £13 a month in the beginning. Then sky sports 2 came along and you could add this if you wanted too for a extra cost. In those days you were happy to pay for football but more importantly cricket, as most games were not available live elsewhere.

Then digital came along allowing the packages to get bigger and more pricey, and including a lot of channels you don't need or watch. Remember sky closed down Eurosport in 1991 after they merged (put out of business with big cheque book) with BSB and the sports channel became sky sports. French broadcasters and ESPN bought Eurosport and over 25 years later it still attempts and achieves to kick sky's butt, as many others also do.

If and when CS finishes it will be interesting to see the chur rate percentage a few months after, as this is the number of cancellations shown as a percentage. In theory it should go up dramatically. We will see from this the effect of finishing off CS and the state of sky after this.

I have to agree with sawdust on what he says about IPTV.
I would hope that most dont use iptv. Could be getting them shelves into a whole lot of trouble. best just use the rest of the other satellites and what ever little can be seen is better than ending up getting into trouble with your own internet.

Movies,Rest of Kids Channels and Music/Do***entary/Entrainment Channels should be gone by end of the month or Next month at the latest :nopity:

And Sure Murdock was cute enuff to darken The Sly Sport Channel before Sunday's Final EPL Games and Upcoming GAA Games pretty much as expected
It does not bother me in the slightest however because i will still continue to watch Sky Sport in Full HD via Feeds
and im sure Box Office Feeds will continue as they have done for the past 10 years : ))
i have already cancelled my Sky Sub a month ago i'll keep Seperate BT/Eir Sport and Box Nation Sub for as long as it lasts .
But IPTV i hope will keep going and hopefully by end of the summer someone might be able to break this new iCAM encryption system even tho' it looks highly unlikely at this moment : ))

Hi Guys
Just been reading on a dif forum to pimps and it was a eye opener > New attack from SLY UK to all IPTV's providers, A guy that is sending iptv in any of the said provider will be closed down if the said abuse of the provider is not removed from his iptv OVH companys server.

In a nutshell game over guys, seems pointless trying to be the clever one and end up like the above fella did.

Dave I am sorry to have said the above to barney, but i was right to dig back at him when he quoted my text even when i was not the one to start changing the topic.

I do Agree with what Nikkas said about iptv and it mainly comes from cs lines, & i can prove that aswell but aint worth the arguements. I know i have helped many a guy here in pimps or better known as satdudes in the past to set a box up with a better way of sharing and how its done the Right Way & not the live in a dream world of hope. Any one i have helped in the past has never looked back and do not get problems with most of the satellite providers out there.

To be Honest I just dont care what others do anymore & with the greatest of respect to all here i have given alot of help in the past years to many users of cs & you can ask any of them if i have ever said buy me a beer and never ever will because i am one of the old school boys in satellite know how. I can also say a couple of guys here have helped me when i was a bit out of touch with certain ways of getting feeds to work. so all good there to share what you know to each other. Truth be known i am still doing my own thing & willing to help anyone with what i get in my setup. and to say the least its prob alot more than most get. So i will leave that upto the few here that want to know the better ways on the veiwing of satellite tv.

Its a shame that when a old head like me gives up with what i did here when seeing some of the bad text in there replies to what i was saying to members in my other posts, so the way i do see it these days is let things be and let other do what ever they feel is right to do, if they want better ways then they know how to get intouch with me here or else where.

I still firmly believe that most forums started it all as a hobby many years ago & i still see it as a hobby to try and get things to work and happy days, its not all about the one provider so as a hobby to guys that see it as a hobby there is still alot more satellites to veiw, Its just a pity that the blind dont see the reality of what is going on.

Kind regards Talks, (aka DJ maff moderator of the old satdudes ) the good old days :)

I wonder what the satellite box manufacturers will think of all this as it must surely hit their sales. Why would anyone buy a box if it cant be used for CS etc?
OK I know we have FTA on various sats plus feeds but most people are/were trying to get something for nothing.
I subscribe to BT sport and I will be cancelling it and definitely not taking out a sly sub!
