[QUOTE="Channel Hopper, post: 13742, member: 175144"] I believe the Samsung 9500 and maybe the Hyundai equivalent started life as a Viaccess embedded machine only with additional Common Interface Inside however, the chipset is actually capable of doing a lot more but was programmed by the manufacturer to decrypt only Viaccess channels (like a sponge that has only soaked up a bit of liquid) Knowing the popularity and therefore increased sales that would result, a version of firmware was released (most probably by a backdoor engineer) allowing the reciever to do a lot more than it was really intended.Very much like the story of the Humax 5400, originally Irdeto only but when patched can do almost everything one might desire Once these 'patches' are released its rather difficult for the manufacturer to put all the worms back into the can, which is why Humax (and Samsung - correct me if wrong) were told by France Telecom to get stuffed wrt their Viaccess licence The 3000 VIP is one from the old school with a true Viaccess chip only and so cannot be patched, however many newer machines use the upgradeable sponge type chip as the potential for one factory to make alternative models using the same board is clearly attractive (cheaper production run), just requires a different firmware to be installed before boxing in the factory [/QUOTE]
