There are those who just will not accept that its over for them. There is a user on one of the other forums called Nvidia who will not believe its over. Everyone is telling him but he just will not listen,

True it gets on my wick when they are in denial there is a gal at work who was spouting how good it was too get all channels till i said her days were numbered with the card change the look soon dropped off.

How are they doing this then?

Are the channels being duplicated at the moment so that one set of channels are on N2 and the others are on N3? and the new card maps the EPG to the new channels??

OR

can they apply two types of encryption to one video stream?

Dont think a member of staff will tell you that, They never give out that sort of information.

The method of scrambling the video is identical in both n1 and n3, the only difference is the algorithms used to generate and decrypt the control word used to scramble the video.

So, you can run both along side each other easily just by sending both the encrypted n1 and n3 code words on the same channel, these will both decrypt to the same code word, which will unscramble the video.

So it's like the 2nd, but they're not really encrypting the video stream with two types of encryption, it's scrambled the same way, but the key to unscramble it has two types of encryption applied and both are broadcast on the network.

Your post seemed highly opinionated and I was under the impression you 'didn't care'.....

sniperdude · 05-12-2009, 23:42

and your right I don't care.
