I certainly know where to look and the only thing available is a Keygen for
codes for the likes of Setanta but no cards.

I have a multi satellite system. I have 5000 channels of stuff. About 200
are in English or carry English films. I always interested in new channels.
What websites do you recommend. I know a few good ones but it always pays
to pool information

As a member of Modshack.

All you will find is a keygen for channels like Setanta and TVX as these are
not encrypted but are PPV and require a PIN to unlock them , unlike TopupTV
who's encryption (SECA2) has NOT been cracked.. Though SECA2 has been
cracked in Italy/Spain, TopupTV use a different version and so far it has
not been done and as the content of Topup is crap it's unlikely will ever be
done..

Are you sure you posted this to the right group?

Surely it depends upon the model, but Set Top boxes are now
quite cheap - from about £25 new in the shops.

I am not sure how much TTV costs, if they get that with the box,
but maybe Freeview will have the info or a link...

They are now cheaper than that. I hear that Argos are now selling them for about £23.

I would expect the prices to gradually drop until switchover.
After switchover, anyone without one will not be getting one - so the bottom will drop out the
market. Production of boxes is likely to stop, with shops clearing their old stocks at really
low prices.
Production will then focus on digital TVs, rather than boxes to add digital.

A few years back, the bottom fell out the TV market. Whole chains of stores disappeared. Even
Dixons / Currys retail group closed many stores a while back.
TVs had remained the same for some years, colour and Teletext were old technology, so there was
no reason for people to be buying new sets. Digital has given the market a boost but, after
switchover, that will gradually die off as everyone ends up with complete digital TVs.

CB has remained mainly the same for many years, just a few small changes, but I wonder if CADS
will give CB a boost. The number of churches may be small, but what of the members buying them
to listen? Also, this may give the band some publicity, with church members realising that
they can also use them to talk to each other - even if they don't need them to listen to the
services.

Peter.

CADS wont help. All that will happen is that certain religious groups will
blast out high power and make everything nearby unusable. Most wont be in
English.

another problem at the moment with digital tv, is that the goverment are
talking about changing the format from mpeg3 to mpeg4.
so anyone who has the tv with fitted digital tv will becone u/s
at least if you have a box then the cost of another one will be alot
cheaper.

Given there is no standard called MPEG3, that would be hard to do...

There was a standard, it just wasn't used. This is why the next
standard is MPEG-4.


> that would be hard to do...


They could still change to MPEG-4, just that it would be from MPEG-2

I would be interested to know whether there are plans to change
and whether existing equipment would be able to adapt,
considering that MPEG-4 has been around some time.

I find it hard to believe that, after years switching over, they would
then change the standard and leave the British public with a sht-load
of new, but rather useless, equipment.
Anyone spending Hundreds, or even over £1000 on a TV would go
ape if that was then made useless by another change in transmission
standards.
