Gee you think Dish would require them to fix the hacking issues before striking a new deal.

Didn't Dish have a lawsuit at one time,for lack of security against Nagrastar?

yeah pretty much
But find me someone who Dish did business with that they HAVENT been in a lawsuit with?

 

[Teehar]

hahaha funny but true. Still when your suing the company that does your security that's pretty bad.What's more at some point Echostars name was/is on it.Isn't that like suing yourself?

What hacking issues?

 

[Blackloz]

I thought Nagra 3 is secure?

 

[Teehar]

Simple google search says otherwise.

Nagra 3 might be hacked, but I don't think it is as easy, available and/or reliable as the nagra 2 hack. Some worked by enabling smartcards to share keys. Other hackers may have come up with more permanent fixes, but are not sharing them as readily as the rightly theorize that if hacking remains small time, they won't bother introducing new encryption.

All false claims and scams.

 

[Teehar]

All false claims and scams.

And you know this how?

 

[Claude Greiner]

Funny how the tables have turned. I remember the days when directv had the hacking issues and dish was 100% secure.

We are getting on the verge of discussing something that the forum rules say we can't. BTW if it can be encoded then it can be hacked. It's just is having the hack easy enough to be able to sell it and make money off of it.

And you know this how?

The key allegation that it has been hacked has no source.

Card hackers have, however, continued to compromise the encryption system, with continued software and key releases being made available to the public. Software emulation of the Nagravision system has been implemented in many Free-To-Air Satellite receivers, allowing unauthorised viewing to those who do not own an official card.[SUP][citation needed][/SUP].

It doesn't mean it has not been hacked.

 

[Teehar]

Doesn't sound so secure to me.
