        Limerick city cable N3 encryption seems to now cover every premium channel.

        It was great while it lasted.

        I'll give a bottle of beer and a packet of Jaffa Cakes to whoever can crack it

          Is this the end of the dreamboxes? Or will N3 be cracked at some point in time?

            it looks like the end
            the only consolation is you can you the box to stream movies
            internet, if your not into that i would say leave out for binman

              No one knows for sure, maybe, maybe not,
              N3 has been rolled out in parts of Europe for a couple of years and no one has come close to cracking it.

                  hi guys heard some interesting stuff today about mmds ,as we all know u*c when buying cho**s did not want the mmds division but had no choice , they have in the past put that side up for sale any hoo an engineer told me that in his opinion it would cost millions of euro to upgrade the system to take n3 not counting the cost of new boxes cards etc. at the moment they can't stream nag3 on mmds its just too old so if any one thinking of getting a box try a dreambox 500t 75 euro delivered its worth a punt .

                    It is indeed a very old and antiquated system.
                    I believe that N3 streams are running on the Chorus MMDS system and have been for quite some time but Chorus havent switched off N1 and N2 yet.
                    MMDS isnt as lucrative a market as its limited bandwidth means a limited channel lineup ,lack of HD,no VOD and it also has no telephone or broadband possibilities.
                    Its a very poor option compared to satellite and inferior in every category.
                    Its a dinosaur and I wonder if it is worth UPC spending much money on it to upgrade it as it might not be worth it.

                      Hopefully that is the case, but read on another foum that upc have ordered large qty of mmds boxes to replace the older units that are not capable of handling the N3 changeover!
                      Just have to wait and see and have backup plan ready to go!
                      Whatever!!

                                In Cork, line of sight to airport will def get you a signal, if not look at houses just outside city- nearest to you, see what direction their ariels are pointing too! If living in the countryside, check the mmds ariels around your area!
                                Whatever!!
