      these boxes will have no uses once nagra3 hits as if there is ever a fix the non linux boxes will not have the power to run thr fixed s/w. Only fta use...

        if the linux box's can cope with nagra 3 then so can the non linux ones.

        card swap doesnt meant that the card will talk any faster to the original stb, so where the bottle neck?

            Similar happened in Spain where Coship boxes were sold by a company called Telemicro who were closed down by the government. Virtually everyone on the Blanca had one they gave all the Sky channels +all uk terrestrial channels for 20e a month with the box costing around 200e, they go now on auction sites for around 5e as souvenirs

              well most of you are going to get a lot longer than you think, and for those who have been unlucky (leeds) I wouldnt offload so quickly yet, you may regret it when cs addons are released down the line.

                  Build timers and detonators to kerplode all vermin exchanges.

                  I figure some guy at home stealing services with a starview will cost a lot less money than picking starview shrapnel out of their offices

                  Seriously though, my dbox2 should be able to run as an ftp server with a few mods.
