    Ok so was away for the weekend got back and had another look at this. If I'm not mistaken this is? Oscam and NOT Oscam-emu, is that right ?

    HUH... whats the problem now?


    If its working its working is that not what you want..or do you want it to stop working for some bizarre reason?


    To answer your weird question...afaik oscam is oscam... it depends how you setup your configs whether you want to use it as server/client.

    Try this one mate/ set permissions and rename etc

    hi

    there is nothing speciall about the cable tv in uk just begin of patching security now just after sky attack , in every countries deffected by chipset pairing and other security measures for keept a whole market stable they cant patch security just in sky and leave opened cable tv

    and even if cable operator has still some boxes with externall smartcards - those smartcards will be replaced to the merlin and run with cak7 kernel at the beginning of next year or even at the end of current year , some people have done some of sattelite providers running with merlin but they are using old cwpk keys extracted from old receivers unfortunatelly almost all cable operators does not have old boxes with needed data to get so this will be totall game over with them :(

    Yup.. cak7 has been used in certain countries as an anti-cs measure for a couple of years now with nagravision and has been succesful so far as the algorithm is so far unknown...cak7 = new pairing method between card and reciever.. however in the uk stbs are being activated without the use of smartcards so there is no need to change pairing methods whatsoever.


    As far as i can see without proper logs it looks like they have changed caids internally on the decoders only so far and thats enough to stop cs on the provider as there is no card to find algorithms for, or use in any way.


    Caid 1841 rom180 was a basterdised combination of nagravision and seca but you are correct as it is otherwise known as merlin... or nagra 3 in the world of us guys.

    I have seen countless issues with sky q mini boxes connected via wifi and the way to sort it is the way bodiddly has sorted his via hardwire.


    The mad thing is...sly recommend and seem god dalm intent in telling us to connect via wifi as they believe its better... someone needs their baws felt at sly as its just stupid.


    Anyway wifi is old technology...the sooner bluetooth is incorporated into our routers/xboxes/remote controls etc the better

    Was only a matter of time


    TBH tandberg is the killer blow...

    Not sure about your Tandberg theory...


    However it would be great if we can have input from our leciester users...ie check all standard and hd boxes if channels operate without a viewing card.......scientific atlanic (Samsung SMT-H3110)


    ETC

    jenseneverest No reply from you...not surprised :-)


    So whats your plan when you find a box that needs a card to work..... are you going to just pay full price and use the official box ? you wont be doing anything else with it as i dont think you understand the gravity of these new changes VM are doing !


    I asked you what vm reciever models require the card ,,sure you might find old pace/samsung sd boxes or maybe scientific atlanta or samsung hd boxes from a decade ago but then what...


    I,m not trying to shoot you down and i really do hope your right jensen but nobody from the 00012 area has confirmed any official box works solely with a smartcard...


    Not only that,, from what i can gather it looks like the encryption is sent in the 1850 caid through the netid frequency streams anyway so it does not matter what working card you might have at your disposal so any boxes requiring the viewing card will be obliterated and upgraded.


    If boxes are being activated without a card and streams are new 1850 caid there is nothing to attack/use so i think its game over but over to you.....

    If the vulnerability in wpa2 protocol was so bad i doubt we would all still be using it !

    Ye provider supplied routers are mass produced crap. Even leaving upnp on as default is laughable


    I’ve only ever used my own router


    Ddwrt for years now with zero problems

    Unfortunately it’s not going to be sorted. VM are phasing out their smartcards with caid 1850 internally on all decoders including Cisco.


    So no card means no cardshare


    Just depends if they wanna do this on all channels. Time will tell but I suspect they will.

    Jenseneverest i think your valuation is a little over what you think the box is worth...its 2nd hand and your also not sure if the remote is original which wont bother me tbh as long as it works.


    I think you need to take a £100 quid hit on this, just my opinion, anyway i wont beat about the bush... i,ll make an offer of £120 mate via bank transfer but i will also pay for postage and packaging on top of my offer.
