Powervu

**sjude** · 14-01-2003

Where can I find a PowerVu CAM or Decoder. How does it work for encryption.

Will Freecam2.019 work for PowerVu decording.

**rolfw** · 14-01-2003

To my knowledge it is not simply an encryption and it is only possible to watch Powervu channels with a dedicated receiver, although I have heard talk of modifying certain other receivers.

I don't believe that there is a hack available either.

***Old Satellite*** · 14-01-2003

To the best of my knowledge you need both a dedicated Power Vu reciever and an over the air enabler from the service provider for the decoding of Power Vu.

There are currnetly several attempts to further understand Power vu so far all are unsuccesfull.

Generally it is a secure system for network providers and a vast Majority of the providers also use low power C band for up linking.

There are many recievers that can be purchased including, both professional rack mounts and normal consumer appearance.

If you check Ebay

etc you can on occasions pick up a second hand unit- but there still expensive and not of much use.

currently the encryption format is safe and hence it will not work on your freecam 2.019

Thanks, Old Satellite guy,

I would like to purchase one Powervu decorder and then purchase a subcription for a package. Is it possible. Do I need to give a serial number or some other number to the service provider ?

Which site can I purchase the decoder.

Thanks again for the help
regards,
Jude

Yes, you are right.

***Old Satellite*** · 15-01-2003

The vast majority of Power vu Packages are for cable end distrubution networks only, and consequently are not for single user access . Those packages where this can be purchased are likely to be extremely high.

Which package are you interested in ? and where is your location?
We can then try to advise what is possible.

Old Satellite,

I am from India but currently in ME. I have seen the packages for Sony TV which is PowerVu on PAS10. If I go for the decoder here I could subcribe for the package giving the ID of the receiver. Subcription rates in India are very less and many channels in that package. In the ME they are expensive besides which unwanted channels also included in package. I am looking for Sony and AXN. Where can I get a PowerVu decorder cheap.

regards,
Jude

***Old Satellite*** · 27-01-2003

There are not any very cheap power Vu decoders due the nature of use.

The best option to track one down is by Ebay

,or simlar or if you can not wait untill one is advertised then purchase from SA in the USA.

Are you sure however that Sony will allow you to subscribe ? why not email them and ask them for confimation anyway- as i stated they are normally for cable companies only.

If sony allow indiviudal subscribition they may also be the best option for the reciever as well?

check out the following address for new purchase etc

Thank you Old Satellite, for the information. I have sent many emails to Sony but they have not yet replied to me.

To get powervu is a major pain in the ass.

You need a Rx new about $1600US
2nd hand Rx range from $0-1000US

Current std business/consumer model has been the same for years SA-D9234

Every PowerVu box ever made has a unique U/A number (corresponds to an orange tagged chip within the box - activated chips can be changed from box to box

) and this number is kept in a SciAlt database

To be able to activate a box you need the service provider to send a letter to SciAlt in Canada allowing the authorisation. SA then send a letter back to the provider saying OK. Then your box is activated. Dont hold your breath during this period...

If you happen to have picked up a 2nd hand box and you want to swap providers. This box has to be released from the original provider - involves more letters. If it is not released the box will not be activated to a new provider. Each box can only have one provider.

BTW you can make a switch block to use multiple chips with one box.

Generally individuals can not actvate a box only companies.

Other info I found
--------
http://www.growl.de/d9234.html
(has pics + good info)
--------
http://www.vidiot.com/D9234Setup.html
--------
the baud rate is 115200
it also has 2 stop bits 20.0 us
each bit is 8.0 us
it has 10 bits per byte 80.0 us
the first byte is always 9 bits and the first byte of the answer is 9 too is this normal

the computer i tested its byte was 87.0us at 115200 e 8 2.
two stop bits was 18.0us

is there a program to convert bin files from nokia i loged powervu and found my HSN for the chip in powervu box.
if you want to know what your HSN is for your powervu box goto menu find decoder address (ISE) 000-154-1234-2 convert only 1541234 to hex 178472 and you then have your hsn.

Thanks for the info. But first I need to get hold of a second hand PowerVu decoder. If that is too difficult then I cannot experiment. My search for PowerVu ends here.

**theslydog** · 10-02-2003

There are tons on Ebay

sell for around $100US. But usually need a US address as they will not ship internationally.

Need also to be quick to beat the snipers who bid $5 over in the last 2 seconds. Must be a way to do this. Something I will have to look into.

DODO67 · 02-10-2004

somebody know the adress nomber of power vu provedors for the european chanels?

04-10-2004

A lot of the Romanian channels are encrypted with PowerVu. ProTV 5e, Antena1 10e, TVR1 and TVR2, both 16e, are all encrypted in PowerVu. I guess those channels are used for terrestrial feeds.

Hi

I have a client in Madrid who is going NUTS not being able to receive ESPN & ESPN2 Sports, he has just moved from USA to Spain and has aksed me to come and install a system.

I have found ESPN classics on Astra2 and this can be received ok with a sky subscription, however he MUST have ESPN & ESPN2 Sports. I have found these on Telstar 12 at 15.0°W and I am told that I can receive 12524V ok in Madrid on a 1.45 prime focus dish in Madrid however the signal is encrypted with PowerVu

Anyone got any ideas???

Thanks

**Analoguesat** · 08-01-2009

Yup - tell him to forget it via satellite. There is NO CHANCE whatsoever of getting an authorised decoder for the service off Telstar as those services are for cable operators.

Thats also the ONLY location where ESPN 2 is carried in the skies above Europe so theres no alternative.

If hes got a decent broadband connection tell him to investigate slingbox hosting.

***dvmedia*** · 16-04-2009

Maybe this is a really stupid question..

But how come I can hear audio with some PowerVu channels across various satellites?

simply because they decide not to encrypt the transmitted audio, you could argue ( and I am sure some overpaid executive does) that is it an enticement to get you to subscribe but well................. we are just mere mortals not executives

***BombedOne*** · 16-04-2009

You can get relatively cheap AFN receiver with active subscription, but there's not too much of interesting stuff on AFN channels...

Dear all,

let me introduce myself: I am a spaniard who resides in UK and despite liking british telly very much, I miss the odd spanish things (specially the footy). I have a satt. dish that picks signals from, amongst many others, Hispasat 30.0W. I also have a cheap technomate dek that picks most spanish channels but obviously can't decode (scramble channels), obviously they are scrambled with powervu. About a year ago I got hold of a powervu dek (from Germany!) on *bay...but I can't do anything with it. I've tried all possible combinations od freq, polarizations, symbol speeds,...etc. on my searches, but it does not pick a single thing.
Just a couple of things:
-Powervu does not require a card to work, but my dek has a smartcard slot and in the instructions manual says it is there for "possible future upgrades".
-In spanish forums there has been some chat about the possibility of connecting your dek to a pc and loading it with some keys that can be found on the internet...and apparently it will work then.

Has anybody heard anything of the subject?...

...and,...does anybody know if it is possible to LEGALLY ergister your dek with sciatlanta / powervu and watch your thingy legally? (provided reasonable price is asked for).

Thank you all, I wait for your replies and willing to help (if i can)

daao10 · 14-05-2009

Hello I can see the satellite 58w that this in power vu am in the south of america and have a captive work 700, nesecito a few keys or a bin

**Analoguesat** · 14-05-2009

Forget it - PowerVu is TOTALLY secure and theres absolutely no way whatsoever that you can watch PV channels.

My advice is to stick it back on Ebay

. Unless you operate a cable head end operation you cant get it registered with Scientific Atlanta.

There are no keys or patches or hacks for PowerVu, and basically you are wasting your time trying to decode PV signals.

I don't understand why you are going on and on and on about PowerVu.. Spanish pay channels are not encrypted in PowerVu.

If you want subscription Spanish TV, you can pick up a Digital+ subscription for about £900 a year in the UK (just have a Google, or look at site sponsors)

Digital+ is not encryped in PowerVu, it's encrypted in Nagra 3 (but that's secure as well

)

The PowerVu set top box you have bought is useless and only good as a door-stop.
