Only Boxs Working in Ireland Hints and Tips - UPDATED

I thought NTHell were encrypting the channels using Nagravision 3, and there is no hack/fix for this as yet ? What's the point then in buying one of these SV4 boxes if the signal is still "unencryptable" ?
I've been out of the loop on this for a while - Have The Box for a long time and it's just gathering dust right now :-(

I suppose what it boils down to is: if I buy a SV4 box, update the firmware etc. (do i need a R252 cable or USB key ? any other software needed ?) will I get all the channels back unencrypted, and if so, is it only a matter of time before NTHell "fix" and steal them away from me again ?

 

nope N2, not N3 yet, HD chans are on N3 presently, all software in the above link I posted and what boxs are working and where to buy it from.

And yes a matter of time beofre N3 kicks

Let me see if I understood this correctly...
NTHell are encrypting using N3 right now, correct ? Or is it N2 ?
Or is it only the HD channels that are on N3 ?
So, if I buy a SV4 USB, and upgrade firmware on it, will I get all the NTHell channels EXCEPT the HD ones ?

And what do you mean "a matter of time before N3 kicks" - do you mean before there's a hack for it ? Far as I recall, the bloke who wrote the encryptin algorithm got something like a 7-figure sum to develop a hackproof algorithm, and he has to pay back a geansai load of cash if it's hacked within 2 years or something like that...Sooooooo, there won't be a hack for N3 for the foreseeable...

 

They are using both N3 and N2 currently. for HD and normal chans

HD is on N3 at present
A SV or any of the ones listed will get the chans at present, on N2

There is no fix for N3

 

I'm very glad you said that Mickah! There was me lining up a few people to all buy the EX7000 HD - I would be wasting my money right now if NT* are encrypting their channels on N3 eh?
I'd have the normal ones but not the HD....
Close call there.

 

Cheers for clarifying that mate. Do we know if they're planning to move ALL the channels to N3 i.e. not just the HD ones ?

 

matter of time beofre its all N3, its the end goal and in case anyone asks, no one knows the timeframe or time, just a case of enjoy what ya have while ya have it

 

Yeah I hear that! Thank God I didn't go forking out £500 for a couple of the 7000's purely for the HD on NT* Dublin tho. I was that close...
Back to the SV 4 or some other USB & PVR box...
Cheers.

 

Hi guys, i have the sv4, i have it a couple of weeks, bought it flashed already, it's a genuine box, just noticed today the liverpool channel is blank, was wondering has anyone else got the same problem, im in dublin by the way, cheers in advance guys

 

jeffoo its gone on my dbox too but mutv was on and off lately so i think it will come back later

 

Cheers phy, thanks for the reply, hopefully your right

 

It could be nthell arent doing it anymore with ESPN now coming through. Just putting that out there

 

Hell, that's one of the main reasons I was buying another damn box !!

If it's gone, kinda makes me wonder....

 

yeah its pain in the ass, rest of channels seem to be still there, just hope its not the start of us losing channels...

 

guys, they are moving chans about with the ESPN stuff happening, no point in starting a panic

 

cheers mickah,so you think it just a wait and see thing,i'm not the best at these things when it comes to updating firmware and whatnot

 

happens all the time, they are adding new chans etc, bound to lose something in the mix, the Manu Chan was the same last week, Some people panic when the God Chan goes missing, even though they never watch it.

I would be more worried in losing something I watch such as sports for the soccer etc, than a liverpool, man u or chelsea chan etc

 

yeah suppose your right, love the lfc channel but defo would rather sports for the live games, thats why panicking a little, dying for season to start, just hoping the sports channels stay available,

 

cross yer fingers, legs and say a few prayers, lol

9 times out of 10 when chans go missing etc, its down to your provider (doing work, adding chans,etc etc) or their signal (signal drops and the pic breaks up). The usually come back themselves. People panic and start re-scanning, flooding forums in panic,

I seen one post on here actually giving out that the chan was not on yet!!! mmmm yer getting it for the cost of a basic sub and you shouldnt be even getting it in the first place, people need to reign themselves in a bit and relize that what they have they should be grateful for and that it can go off at anytime. Such is the way of cable or sat, remember, nothing lasts for ever and certainly not in this game.

 

Hi, if channels come in on a krytview but say scambled, will the firmware have to be re-loaded to get channels
