Hello was reading something saying there is going to be a change in these boxes late august is that true? I have the f3, so will these be coming to an end then? hope not!

There are 2 new Official $ly Receivers available to new subscribers now which have Wi-Fi built in one is the standard 500gb model the other is the 2TB model both of which come with new cards and are hardware Receiver ID paired which means its over.

Secondly New official cards will be issued from 31st August for exisitng customers which probably totals around 14 million how fast they get them out is anyone's guess but i would hazard a Guess at say around 'X' amount of Months remaining.

So dont go spending a lot of money LOL

oh don't say that! so is their any point in putting a subscription on one? and will there be a fix or will they just die out? oh man

Probably down to the Openbox/skybox that puts the final nail in the coffin. Before these receivers came out it was more for hobbyists and now with these boxes every Tom Dick and Harry has one. There will be a lot of these boxes soon collecting dust Andy.

Why the doom and gloom, go motorised there are other satellites not just 28.2e.

Thanks for your reply mate, and true!
when these die out what will be the new hd receiver can we purchase before hand or is it about luck and waiting.

Will mainly affect them with sly dish 28.2. Other ways to skin a cat Andy.

[tayyab95]

If you have a fixed dish you're stuck with the one encryption, motorized opens up other avenues, Andy.
