[QUOTE="Artist 2004, post: 173951, member: 177270"] [SIZE=2]Gamboa,[/SIZE] [SIZE=2] I hope I can help you understand more clearly what you can do. This is based on my experience of about six different manufacturers' machines, but I don't know any details about your model. [B]Receiver operating system[/B] Think of your receiver like a PC. Your receiver has an operating system just like your PC. But instead of Windows it has special screens and menus for system settings, channel lists, favourites, etc.You can watch all channels that haven't been encrypted (scrambled). The manufacturer may sometimes improve the operating system and you can replace the old one by loading the new one from your PC. Not all receivers have this ability. [B]You want to watch encrypted channels[/B] In most countries the only legal way to do this is to pay for a smart card which you insert into a slot in your receiver. Otherwise there are two methods: 1. Program smart cards yourself using files which other people have loaded into internet. 2. Replace your operating system with Emulation software (known as EMU). This includes all the features of the operating system but also includes the ability to open encrypted channels. I think this is what you are interested in. [B]Opening encrypted channels[/B] Here's a simple example of encryption. I am always forgetting my bank card PIN but my bank says I must not write it down. So I write an encrypted version somewhere. It's even safe to write it on the card. Here's how: I have another number which I never forget. So once only I add this secret number and the PIN together and write down the answer which I carry with me. Adding them together is the method (algorithm) and my secret number is the Key. Both my algorithm and my key is secret and I can change either whenever I want. In the same way EMUs must include both algorithms and keys before they can open encrypted channels. Different channels use different algorithms as well as different keys. How this is loaded varies between receiver models. Often the EMU file will already include the keys, but sometimes you have to load a separate file of keys. An EMU file is much larger than a key file. On my receivers the EMU is about 500 KB whereas the Key file is about 50 KB. There is no standard file extension for all receiver models. On mine the EMU is .bin (with some exceptions) but the ending of the key file can be .hex, .bin or .key depending on which loader program I am using. Sometimes a broadcaster may change a key. Usually you can edit keys in the receiver on a special screen using your remote controller. But if you have a lot of keys to change it is simpler to download a suitable key file. If you already have a key file you can edit it [I]with a suitable editor [/I]and download that. I think it will over-write any previous key files, but this may depend on models. Sometimes the broadcaster may change an algorithm. In this case you must wait for an updated EMU to be available. [B]You need:[/B] An RS232 crossover cable An EMU file designed for your exact receiver model and type. A loader program on your PC, compatable with your receiver, to transfer the EMU to your receiver. Get from same place as your EMU and key files. If you want to load key files: A key file: three methods: a fresh one from internet, or use an editor to update an old one, or use an editor to dump the keys from your receiver to a file and edit that. A key file loader / editor program on your PC, compatable with your receiver. Get from same place as your EMU and key files. [B]Some answers[/B] Not all receivers can be loaded with an EMU. Some FTA models (Free to Air = not encrypted = no card reader) can be loaded with EMUs. I bought one recently for 100 US$. The simplest way to edit your own key file is start with one already prepared for your receiver make and model and edit it. That way you know you've got the right format. Use an editor designed for the purpose, which you can download from internet, not notepad. Whether the file extension is .bin or something else depends on your key file loader/editor. You can't just download any old key file, change it's extension and send it to your receiver. Before transferring anything to your receiver [/SIZE][B][SIZE=2][COLOR=#ff0000]READ THE WARNINGS [/COLOR][/SIZE][/B][SIZE=2]in the thread "So you want software patches". Sorry I don't know of any sites for your model. [/SIZE] [/QUOTE]
