Hi,
I have been in the satellite game for over 15 years and peoples reactions to code changes etc have not changed. I used to sell filmnet decoders way back then and when the customer bought it ,I told them that I did not know how long it would last, but i would upgrade it if possible. At that point it was all smiles and "Oh thats OK". But within 10 minutes of a change the phone was red hot. Some people were demanding their money back. I told everybody the risks and when its working they are fine,but when its not...
As far as i can see, no subscriptions are being paid.So if they add up all the subs that they would have to pay and this can add up to £3000 per year and deduct the price of a cam,programmer + card. They will then see that they are getting unbelivable value for money. Im just slowly getting to grips with all this myself ,as a hobby.We all must understand the reasons why new equipment is needed is to try to outwit the broadcasters,who are spending a lot of money to protect their investment. This is a game of cat and mouse .If you want to be a part of it ,you need to put your hand in your pocket.
I know it can be frustrating when your card goes down,but don't you get an equal but opposite buzz when you get your hands on the new files.
We are all lucky that file guys make public their files.We could be in a situation that you pay a membership fee for 12 months to a company for updates.
99% of us on this board have no idea how a system is cracked.
75% of us can't produce files etc.
There will be file guys that in the past have kept things to themselves or within a selected few.This happened not so long ago with conax. If i was a file guy ,i to would consider this when i look at some of the postings.....I need mature content.....i need this......i need that.
Have some respect.
Sorry for ranting but like i said people dont change.
