On 'The List' it shows many C band channels as Nag 1 encription.Why is it shown if encripted?Is there something I'm missing (besides the obvious,lol)?Thanks:)
 
Probably they are included to help anybody trying to aim a dish. Sometimes you can get a signal, run a blind scan, and end up with a bunch of channels, not knowing exactly which satellite you might be aimed towards. Having the info would help you quickly track down where you where in the arc.
 
Correct
But the receiver I use to update the list, while it shows the proper encryption when I load it to ChannelMaster, sadly changes it to Nagra 1 when its uploaded to thelist

one of those weird quirks I guess
 
Yeah, in the end we don't even need to know what encryption they are using, though sometimes it can be useful when 'road-testing' a former pirate box with hackware still in it; i've acquired quite a few discarded receivers i've gotten for free or really cheap, and i've flashed them with what factory files that in the end didn't 'take' and those boxes sometimes freeze and boot constantly on Nagravision or BISS encrypted channels, unless they are thoroughly cleaned.
 
Thanks guys.I was hopeing someone would tell me that N1 was open.Still lots of channels to look forward to.
