    In some of the thread here people mentioned some of the older starview 1 fixes where done by individual hackers, not starview themselves.

    If so is the code out there somewhere or did they just hack the binaries?

    I am thinking if we could find out how it was done we might be able to get a group behind it.

    There was a guy that done them and could do it in minutes but he quit due to impatient people and people making up rumours about him, also someone leaked his sv1 fix before and tried to sell it, we can't do anything without source code but I know we need to put a new softcam into a starview firmware.

    Doubt it unless they could be re-coded for linux, even then there's no ethernet port.

    There is a com port though, so you could talk to it.

    If the CPU is something that linux supports it would be then be a matter of drivers
    for the tuner and so on.

    Linux never gonna happen, totally different architecture.

    With Sunrise quit and starview only supporting there latest box, it looks like it aint gonna happen.

    Although with the N2 keys public its just the coding into starview firmware that needs doing.

    Without the source code, that is not going to happen.

    maybe if you ask Sunrise nicely, after all the reason he held back on releasing fixes was he wanted others to learn and make fixes.

    Is that his username on these forums? I'll send him a message but he probably didn't have the source code either, probably hacked the binary.

    They were only keyroll patches though, this is a whole softcam change. Someone does have the source code though (probably starview) otherwise there'd be no emu in the hacked firmware.
