[QUOTE="Capn Trips, post: 131464, member: 195574"] Since there seems to be quite a few knowledgeable folks here, I'll ask a perhaps simpleton question about SA 9234s. I know that SA has to "authorize" a PowerVu IRD to receive AFN broadcasts (as mine currently is). The US Armed Forces Exchange System advertises this as if ONLY the SA boxes available through the AFES stores can receive the AFN broadcasts. They make it sound as if some sort of unique decoder is in those SA PowerVu boxes they sell (as opposed to OTHER SA PowerVu boxes). I have been unable to confirm this anywhere, but...from my reading, basically SA provides encrypted Satellite broadcasts for any number of companies that pay them for this service, and they then authorize, by serial number, over the air, particular PowerVu receivers to receive particular broadcasts. AFN/AFRTS happens to be one such customer. Am I correct? If so, I would conclude that ANY SA PowerVu receiver can receive the AFN broadcasts. The key is proving that one is an authorized end user to get them to activate it FOR AFN. Am I correct, or is there in fact some unique hardware mod in the PowerVu receivers that tailors them for AFN? [/QUOTE]
