OK, I have not paid attention to this, obviously, since I live in EU, so...
I had a look here: https://en.kingofsat.net/pos-58W.php - somewhat limited coverage, only to "Atlantic region"...
Also here: https://www.lyngsat.com/america.html - much better, all around the globe...
One can see:
-C-Band (large dish needed, specific LNB, lower frequencies [3 - 4.000]) and
-Ku-Band (small dish with universal LNB, higher frequencies, [11 - 12.000])
packages being in use in Americas: https://www.lyngsat.com/DirecTV-9S-and-SES-1-and-T-16.html
I noticed that packages in Atlantic/Americas region use various encryption systems like PV, Irdeto2, Nagra3, Videoguard etc. So, similar to EU.
Not sure which of those are hacked (= one can watch with OSCam Emu, like the one explained here:
OSCam Emu Config Mario for all PV providers), sooooo....
Perhaps newbies (to Enigma2 especially) would be helped if you guys shared the info in one place...
Who specialises in keys for Americas? Is there a thread on this forum with always updated SoftCam.Key for Americas?
Which packages can be opened with a key/Emulator (i.e. which ones are "hacked", so there is no need for internet connection) and which ones by using CS (= Card Sharing - one needs an internet connection for that)?
You can exchange the complete configuration files for OSCam here, too... or just "tips" for various parts of OSCam config...
Good luck!
