Starview 6 working!!

Why mate?

 

I'm not saying that this is the cause of the current problem, actually I'm sure it's not but here's a few facts,..

"they" know about the SV6 lan & how it works
"they" have the knowledge/expertise to peek at network traffic on their broadband system
"they" know what to look for,..their not interested in folk connecting to google,amazon,ebay or any of the popular sites but will be looking at new trends over the last few months,..like increased traffic to a server with an obscure address & once "they" discover something supicious they can throttle access to that server.
It's a scatter gun approach as "they" can't be 100% sure they are not affecting legitimate traffic,..I know of one satellite CS server that is loosing Irish customers because their dreamboxes can no longer connect to that server & all those customers just happen to be using "their" broadband network,...you might ask why did "they" throttle traffic to a satellite CS server as it's no skin off "their" nose, the answer is that the traffic to that server matched what they are looking for & so fell victim,..which is why I called it a scatter gun approach.

I would never touch cable CS if I was using "their" broadband network, BTW I haven't touched it anyway.

 

hearing reports some of these channels are back on.can someone confirm???

 

Loads are back, fta's are missing! Weird! All the important ones are there!

 

It also could have been a trial efford on upc part to actually see what happend when they did something but sure all the info is here as people just keep on posting the stuff on here so they dont have to do any work all they have to do is carry on and you do all their work for them.

If this is the case that it was upc or another glitch it wont be long before they find the rest of the server boxes that are connecting.

 

Ive been told its a server problem, and nothing to worry about.

 

Let's just enjoy what we have while we have it lads n lasses!

 

yes true but as i have said you are all your own worst enemy when the box goes off you all jump on here instead of waiting to see what is happening and that in its self is helping the provider know what is going on as they say less said easiest mended

 

I agree - These boxs aint your regular cable box and a bit more to em, rathur than wait a little while to see if they come back as in this case they have, folk fall over themselves to post whats missing, whats wrong, some of you need to learn a little patience and wait. You will always have issues like this on a CS as anything can go off or wrong, thats the nature of the beast, but posting every time a chan goes down or the TV flickers, you aint helping yerselves one bit

 

Point taken (twice) thanks lads!

 

Don't mind this crap about not posting when you have a problem.
DO POST, so users know probs are widespread & not just their box.
U*C have SVU-6 & linux boxes connected & KNOW EXACTLY what's going on.

 

no one never said they didnt know whats going, but why give them a hand and post every little thing on here, oh and what linux box is connected? I can stand corrected, but I wasnt aware of a linux cable box working on cable in Ireland???

 

There ya go from the horses mouth mmmm wonder is this a U*C worker so that they can find out how widespread the problem is best advice post feck all and wait and see what happens that way you are not helping them they might have a Sv but i would say they dont have it in all areas its working so by people saying my box is gone down in a certain areas they can use this to their advantage.

All i say is beware of the person above bearing gifts !!! Just think before you post it may be a day and hour but worth the wait U*C will have to do their own research then

 

well linux boxes still work on chokus. but as you say mickah i'm unaware of any linux box that is sharing successfully on n3. this is not to say that it is impossible. to be honest i have looked at the option but better quality with satellite so whats the point in trying to setup a share on uupcee.

 

aye fint its not impossible, its just that Eamo said above that they, upccc have linux running? How is that possible and how would he know if they had and why would they have done that? I am a bit perplexed by his statement, but like always, I am happy to be corrected on something, no harm, no foul.

 

Mickah, I've read eamo's post a few times just to be sure what he is saying. i have absolutely no doubt what he says is correct. lets be honest. we in afterdawn are not unobserved (on this i am not paranoid, i am realistic). over and over i have pointed out that i do not support illegal services. so lets clarify. i pay for a fully legal service. what i do with that service is just a bit of playing about. i suspect i fall under the radar a bit on that basis. however commercial servers are a different game. and eamo is correct that such behaviour will be monitored. i suspect that linux will no longer be an issue on n3 but i would be very concerned for those using a public sv6 share. it is just a bit too obvious and it is not playing, it is using a commercial share, always a dangerous game. being realistic, if that share was shut down tomorrow all IP addresses would be available for viewing as the client list. not good.

 

but how does he know that they have linux working, I know they are watching, thats a given and yes I am aware of what can or could go wrong, but I am just trying to see how eamo knows that they have linux running, his words......

 

Think boxes working on cho*us aerial only,not chorus cable.
Point in share on U*C cable is no need for ugly sat-dish on front of house.
If users don't post probs how can they seek help.
Further point about cable-share is basic subscription required, giving provider some
income and so remain in business

 

Sorry Eamo, but am still a bit fuzzy on the above mate, how do you know they have linux boxs working?

 

Do You have the boxes working useing the bridge connections options on your pc or have you got a router for that?
