Hi all......can anyone answer some questions I (and probably lots of others) have on the mysteries of using softcams/decryption in general. Apologies in advance for the basic level of these questions but they do seem valid to me.
Firslty, who creates these softcams in the first place? Does someone have some PC/software/machine somewhere that analyses satellite channels and can obtain the codes. Alternatively do the codes come from an "insider"? Actually that would explain why the T*S codes stopped recently but that's more of a guess than anything else.
Are softcams availalable for all "red" scrambled/encrypted channels. I guess probably not otherwise I would have heard/read about it but I'm more interested in why some channels are decryptable and some are not.
Following on from the question above are there different level of encryption?
What softcams are available out there at the moment. Since the demise of T*S I've spotted only a couple being generated - one generic one and one for D+. What channels would they decrypt?
By the way what did happen exactly with T*S? I read on one thread the encryption was stepped up or something like that.
Lastly, what does advantages would using a CAM/card programmer give you over a softcam? Not that I've got the first clue how to use a card programmer but I'd splash out for one if it gives more options.
That'll do for now......thanks again for the continuing technological brilliance from members of this forum. I'm sure one of you will know answers to all the above. M.
