The courts had to define the rights of the copyright holders and
intellectual property rights and make other laws,because left to themselves
"some" people just can't and won't conduct themselves honestly and respect
the rights of others!

Like I said,selfishness is at the root of it.

Sure it makes sense to support the programmers,because if we steal the
programming,the programmer has to spend more on security,then they have to
recover the extra expense somehow,so up go the subscription prices.

We can also thank the pirates for the flack US dish systems and C band has
taken in Canada.

Actually, at this point it doesn't really matter. You can support or not
support, they
aren't raising their prices because of piracy. If that was true, they would
have
switched from VideoCipher2 long ago. The fact is, you're seeing higher
prices
because the programmer's know that, for the MOST part (not all), the people
left on Cband are the ones who will probably never change, and they can jack
the price to whatever they want. They're milking it for all it's worth until
it
completely dies. Channel for channel, any other system beats out the price
of cband by a long shot. But for those alacarte customers, and those with
tiny
little packages that brag about their low subscription costs, they're going
to
rip every cent out of your pocket that they can. Don't get me wrong, there's
still plenty use for the big dish. But using it as your primary subscription
format,
unless you happen to just watch a couple channels, or just subscribe to
movie
channels, it's getting to the point where people are blinded to how bad it's
getting.
"I only pay $20 a month for my package!" (or $230 a year). Yeah, you also
only
get 24 channels. Let's see, 24 channels for $20, or 60 channels for $30...
HMM!
And let's not get this thread started about signal loss on small dish
systems, either.
Anyone with half a brain and a pair of pliers can get a DBS adapter for
their big
dish and use it to pick up small dish programming, legally. No more rain
fade!

BAH to stubborn old men who can't see the forest for the trees.

Bullshit. Do you even know what digital is? It means the signal is EXACTLY the same as
when it left the broadcasters..
==

It does not mean that it is exactly the same as when the original uplinker sent it.
The signal from the original uplinker or source can be received and rebroadcast in
other formats or can be (and often is) compressed at the expense of video quality.

To keep that data in a trusted circle, so it doesn't get in the wrong
hands. It is not stealing, becasue of the authorisation status of the
channels are such the receiver can get them. Defeating security is
forbidden on that forum.

If Valdivar, or anyone else uses the overlay function of
the 4dtv to receive programming that is decoded by the
4dtv, but other users have to pay a subscription fee to
watch, what do you call it?
Gary says the function of the OO's section is to ensure
the information does'nt get into the wrong hands.
What are the wrong hands if it is a legitimate use
of the signal?

You have no idea what you are talking about.

The overlay will not give you access to channels that are not encrypted unless your
receiver has a subscription to them. The overlay does not bypass or break encryption.

Your argument is pure bullshit based on erroneous self serving assumptions. You have
jumped to conclusions and have landed flat on your ass.

Discussion of signal theft is not allowed in those forums even in the restricted area.

You are usually courteous in your replies so maybe we have
touched a nerve here.
So why all the moaning and groaning that went on when
the so called 'Presidential' channels reverted to encryption.
Why, if there is nothing to hide (receiving signals the
originators don't want you receive) is there even such a
group as the OOs?
You still did not address the question that there are channels
the 4dtv will receive via overlay that others have to pay a
subscription fee to receive.
I have had too much good advice from you in the past
so will ignore the 'self serving' remarks, not worthy
of you.

It isn't defeating the security, it is fooling the receiver to tune
channels that aren't mapped, whose authorisation status is open.

===

I thought that I did. What do you mean by others?.

The reason that your remarks struck a nerve is that I am one of the moderators of that
forum. When you claim that OO is used for discussion of signal piracy you also are
saying that I am housing a den of thieves.

That forum was created by a person that (at the time) was a manager in the 4DTV
section of GI. Some GI/Mot employees also still have access to that area. Discussion
of signal theft absolutely is not tolerated there.

There is a big difference between the uplinkers knowing that signals are received and
violation of encryption. If a few uplinkers for some reason are naive enough not to
encrypt their signals then good for us. Reception of unencrypted signals is legal,
..... it is not theft. It would be foolish to tell them we can receive their channels.

Not a den of thieves but people like Valdivar who moralise about
someone using a chipped board, but he takes advantage of the
information on the OO forum to receive signals not intended for
his use. I do the same but also know the rules of the game.

That is beside the point. The fact is no security is being broken in
the access of those channels, unlike when someone uses a chipped black
board, modified FTA receiver, AVR card or whatever.
