Here is some good news from our 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!! C/P
