Tools needed to hack satellite tv (self.hacking). Buy a Dish Network receiver from best buy or wherever and activate it with him by calling Dish together. Smart cards are devices used by cable and satellite TV providers as part of the cable service they offer. Smart cards are inserted into digital cable and satellite converter boxes and communicate with the cable provider's network to, in effect, 'tell' the converter what channels a given customer has. Notorious hacker Chris Tarnovsky opens his underground laboratory to WIRED, providing a peek into the world of satellite television smart-card hacking. This complicated process involves nail polish, a pin head and various acids -- so don't try this at home (unless you're Chris Tarnovsky)! Chances are you won't even know what's going on here, but that's not going to stop you from watching this video tutorial on how to reverse-engineer a satellite TV smart card, is it? He uses acetone to strip the chips. He also uses hydrochloric acid to reveal the chip. He burns a hole through the second layer of metal on the smart card. He then uses a micropositioner and a sewing needle to open the data bus and access the control line. 'Well once the expert hacker figures out the chip using these methods it can be reverse engineered with software. Software anyone could use on one of the many FTA boxes out there. Perhaps soon the 'new' Niagra 3 cards will be reverse engineered.:)' did you watch the video? F cards were first. H cards came after. Hu was introduced to phase out the h card. Black Sunday hit look it up if you don't know about black Sunday. H cards were bricked and people still get them working. The hu was king. Businesseswere making money hand over fist selling glitches monthly updates. Canadians were a huge customers as direct tv could not sell the service in Canada people waited a long time for some hacker to fix that. The story said he used to be a hacker and direct tv hired him. He helped design the hu replacement which was the p5. To my knowledge the method in the video is the only way to get into those cards. My point in all of this is that guy is 'they' he was the best ever. I believe he was the one that put out the glitch for th hu. He was the bes, he knew the bes. The hackers you are waiting for have already been beat. Direct tv raided hardware sights that had to do with smart card programming equipment., which is legal. Directv filed mass lawsuits against anyone they could i dentify as purchasing equipment from the sites they raided. Even if i am wrong and they could crack all the card, why? Everything on theinternet is basically free.why risk jail time? Called them up last night to cancel my service. Had to tell them 13 times that I loved DirecTV but that I didn't want to do business with AT&T. Anyway, I found it interesting that out of the 4 HR24's and 3 H24's that I have, they don't want 2 of the HR24's back. I bought 2 H24's and 2 HR24's from Solid Signal. I assumed everything had to get sent back. When I asked if I could ship the other 2 HR24's back anyway, they said no. The return kits won't have the room. But I do have to ship the access cards back in a separate envelope that they'll provide. Anyone heard of such a thing? I was always under the assumption that they would want all the gear back when you ended your relationship with them. Said by: All my receivers are SD, one died a few weeks ago and I was told they were only replacing with HD boxes. After a talk with customer support they sent me a refurb box. Now that ATT is in control I wonder what will happen to us old SD users.I would suspect, at some point in the next few years, they're going to start phasing out the older boxes (say, older than the H(R)24's). And at some point, you just won't be able to get SD boxes anymore. Which is fine. The new boxes can present a 480i 4x3 image just fine. Won't look great. But they can. This would happen regardless of the merger. Said by: They are working quickly to get rid of any legacy boxes and SD onesYup. Can't charge that below the line $15.00 ( or what ever it is today) HD fee on a SD box.If you don't have HD there is no 15 fee. SD users will get HD boxes but they will only pull the SD channels since the HD channels would not be in your package. They have already phased out the SD boxes (D10, 11 & 12s) to new customers. They install a Genie/client system. If you want separate HD/DVRs you get the HR24s or HD only H24s (or H25s). Said by CanadaEH: So is that what all the hoopla is about? People are leaving Direct TV because they hate the fact that AT&T is now the parent company? If so im speechless.That is -exactly- why I left DirecTV. And I told the retention lady that and she marked it on my account as the reason for leaving. I love me some DirecTV. But AT&T is a terrible company. And I won't give them a dime of my money and I'm willing to back that up with action. Still waiting on the boxes to arrive to ship this stuff back in. Said by DirectTV11: because people purchased a receiver outrightTo my knowledge, no one has been able to buy a DirecTV receiver outright for 6-7 years.wow that sucks, in canada our satellite provider sells outright, infact even our cable companies sell boxes outright, one advandage of living in canada.Years ago things got crazy when DirecTv sold the receivers in Wal Mart etc.
