according to ftabins.net site–cs 4-5-6 down on DN (but up on b3v)

I no longer have a cs6k so i don’t have personal experience anymore, but according to ftabins.net dn is down.
I don’t know why cs would go down when apparently no one else went down.
I recommend you take advantage of the cs exchange offer or sell your cs or give it away, and buy a new [...]

B3v’s Nimiq 4, Nimiq 5 and the Captain 8000

Nimiq 4 is supposed to hold many HD channels–BEV is apparently either rolling out or has rolled out MPEG 4 receivers to its customers and some analysts have speculated that Nimiq 4 will be all MPEG4, although pajamasfta has been unable to confirm this.
Possibly the reason that (MPEG-2 only) Captain 8000’s are so cheap [...]

A commenter on one of the fta sites says, “So dont worry coolsat owners, please be patient and sit tight!”
The commenter is apparently a coder and claims to have helped make files before.

Coolsat had a manufacturer that it used to make the 4k, 5k, and 6k machines.  coolsat’s management and the manufacturer’s management had differences of opinion, and coolsat went somewhere else to produce later models.  6100 7000 8000 and 8100 and so on were manufactured by someone else.
Apparently there was a [...]

d!rct tv rumor (corporate espionage)

hxxp://www.wired.com/politics/law/news/2008/04/murdoch
c/p
Did a Rupert Murdoch company go too far and hire hackers to sabotage rivals and gain the top spot in the global pay-TV war?

It looks like the coders have upper hand at this point, [...]
