MAP 57 D*SH PLEASE READ This is a C&P, not my write up so take it as you want. ... brucester --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Well, the Providers aren't wasting any time and are keeping Coders busy, and they barely have time to work on the EMU solution. Map57 is back with a vengance and with a new timing algorithm once again. Coders are using some pretty fancy tools to find the answer to these timing cycles and I'm sure they will find it, because if you don't know what is going on, how are you supposed to write a way around it? Please everyone just be patient. You all know by now they do their best for us, and are determined NOT to let providers win the battle. We have plenty of channels left out there, so enjoy what you have and give these poor guys a chance to work.
We'll know more in awhile and will get the info out there. Stay tuned right here to this GREAT site. Thanks!!
All PPVs, Adults Premiums, and International channels on DN are down at the moment
Now... We have some new news from friends on the inside...
I really can't say all of what I know, but the map EMU is down to just a few routines left. It needs some streamlining and cleaning up, but it IS delivering control words accurately right now. There's a map command and a few other little routines to finish, but they are close. I'd say around February 1st, providers may indeed have a tough time bringing us ALL down for awhile.
We CAN tell you this, though. Providers are pulling out all stops. They are doing things that the card was never intended to do in an effort to squash FTA. Coders really don't seem too worried, though, so neither should you. We may have a bit of a bumpy ride this month, but soon the tide will turn.
Everybody just please remain calm, and check here for the latest updates and be patient and wait!
Have the Coders ever let us down yet?
We have seen many, many worse situations than this!!
i agree with fun toy...i know for a fact that i read this exact same post the last big ecm. good info, but will I be reading this again with a target date of march 1?
they back to using a somewhat generic and redundant routine. It is nearly 48 hours since the DN ECM. If it was as simple as you said it is, how come there is no fix yet? I think what they are doing is converting the few bytes of 0106 ID keys to code by their old XORing routines and then making the new code execute another Call. Pulp: this is just a theory of mine - not a challenge to you or a matter for mudslinging.
