Does the satellite signal comming from Dish network or direcTV have any content protection or encryption before it enters the MPEG decoder chip in the receiver? thanks
I guess i will answer myself: yes it does and depending on the provider it has a different encryption key. The the conditional access module is where the exhcnage of information between the processor and the smartcard happens. Relax, i am not a hacker, i just wanted to understand the system. thanks
