Due to the recent implementation of Nagra 3 encryption, more and more FTA hobbyists will consider pointing at true FTA satellites.Or doing IKS. At this point we'll discuss FTA.
Site Satellite-keys.com contains only legitimate keys! TV encryption, regularly alluded to as 'scrambling', is encryption used to control, access to pay TV channel, or satellite TV channel.
- Look on the FTA receiver's user manual. Here you are able to find the brand of the FTA receiver, and the exact model number. You need this information to obtain the correct files. Because it is the digital receiver that accepts the FTA satellite signal, you are able to use any satellite dish, including those designed for DirecTV and Dish Network.
- Nagravision - used partly European providers of satellite TV as well as Dish Network USA. Currently hacked. There Nagravision 2, Nagravision 3 partially broken.
If you really look into it you can find a lot of channels for true FTA receivers. What is really important when thinking of hitting a true FTA satellite is what the type of band the signal is.
FTA and satellites broadcast in two types of bands. One is C Band which will require a very large dish. This would typically be a 6 foot dish and an LNB that is capable of receiving a C Band signal.
The other band which is the most popular with FTA enthusiasts is the KU Band. The KU Band is more popular due to the fact that the dish is smaller and easier to install.
To receive most FTA birds like Galaxy 97 or Galaxy 18 you will need a dish that is a minimum of 30 inches. It is better to have a larger dish such as a 33 inch or a 36 inch dish. It is also possible to receive some FTA satellites using the epiliptical dish such as a SuperDish like the 500 series dish.
Now we have to look at the signal we are receiving from the KU band. Satellite networks such as DirecTV, Dish Network, and Bell use a circular LNB. What we need though for most FTA satellites is a linear LNB. Since most linear signals are weaker than the circular signals we need a larger dish than an 18 inch or 22 inch dish.
So what true FTA channels can I get? Well, this depends on your location. Since I live in the United States, here is a list of true FTA channels you can receive in the U.S..
If you live elsewhere in the world start here. Just click on your country or what area of the world you are from.
If we look at the list of channels and sats we see that no one satellite has a lot of channels. One with the most would be Galaxy 18, my favorite. In all these cases I am looking at true FTA satellites with KU band channels. Now we have a problem dont we? What do I do if I want to catch more than one satellite?
There is a solution. You can use a dish motor. There are a number of different motor brands. I only know about using a Motek SG2100 since that is what I use.
The installation of the motor is not that hard. The most important thing to remember is that the pole you install the motor and dish to has to be perfectly level and plumb. The biggest problem people have when installing is that they can hit a few satellites and think they got it, only to find out they are not receiving all of the satellites they are capable of receiving. All of the FTA satllites you can receive are along what is known as the Clarke belt. So if you are off just a fraction you will not pull in some satellites or you will not have the optimal signal possible.
For instuctions in setting up a motor you can go here.
If you read the installation guide you will see that you need to find your True South location. So, do I just get a compass and point south? No. True South is not the same as magnetic south. That is what magnetic declination is all about. This will be different depending on your location.
Nagravision 3 Hacked Fta Receivers List
Now don't get all confused about installing that motor. I am here to save the day. All this longitude and latitude,motor latitude,dish elevation,motor latitude,true south azimuth sounds confusing. It might but thanks to the wonderful internet we can just enter our street address,city or town,state or province,and zip code or postal code and magically find all the setting for the motorized dish. Just go over here and enter your information. You will also have to select what motor model you are using from the drop down menu. You can also use this for individual satellites or multi-LNB setups.
Nagravision 3 Hacked Fta Receivers Reviews
Nagravision 3 Hacked Fta Receivers 2020
So good luck and happy viewing. Nothing is more satisfying when you something yourself and it works perfectly.
Nagra 3 Hack For Fta Receivers
YES, but not fully. Some boxes are able to view some channels encrypted using Nagravision 3 through a technique called 'card sharing' whereby the encryption status of an existing paid subscriber card is disseminated to other receivers through the use of a networked connection. Many hackers in the underground FTA testing community are working hard to further crack this security implementation as they have done in the recent past with Nagravision 2. Current underground projects are limited to channels which can be subscribed to. Channels that are not available for subscription such as Special Events and Pay-Per-View programming have so far remained unavailable.
Claims have recently been made that Nagravision 3 is hacked in Europe, where it has been in use for some time. These claims have so far not been proven to work or have any chance of working in North America. Several boxes now proven capable of using some variant of the card sharing method include, the Nfusion, Dreambox and now the Neosat IPro 2000.
Is Bell ExpressVU using Nagravision 3?
YES. Undergound hackers for the most part are no longer able to view Bell ExpressVU programming, with the exceptions of hackers using IKS, which only gains access to subscription based programming. Only 1 manufactured FTA receiver is so far able to make use of this new technology to circumvent Nagravision 3 on the Bell ExpressVU provider network.
Is Dish Network using Nagravision 3?
YES. All subscribers to Dish Network have been informed that they will need to upgrade their conditional access cards with new purple Nagravision 3 version cards. Dish Network as of Decemeber 17th have begun testing Nagravision 3 on some channels and are expected to migrate completely to Nagravision 3 in the very near furture.
When will Dish Network begin using Nagravision 3?
On December 17th, 2008 it was noted by many in the underground testing community that several channels had been at least temporarily switched over to Nagravision 3 encryption. This no doubt signals that EchosStar is getting ready to begin the implementation of Nagravision 3 on Dish Network channels. It is likely that international, sports, pay-per-view and special event programming content will be the first to begin making use of Nagravision 3 to prevent any mishaps with regular subscribed content. Once the transition is successful, other channels will quickly migrate to Nagravision 3. Cahrlie Egren, the founder of Echostar stated in a conference call in December 2008 that he expected N3 to be active on International and HD programming within the first quarter of 2009, but did not expect a complete switchover to Nagravision 3 on all Dish Network channels until the end of the third quarter in 2009.
Will my FTA receiver be able to get Nagarvision 3 channels?
Maybe.
If you are using a legit box that includes native support for Nagravision 3 conditional access modules, and you pay for a subscription, you should be able to contine using your current receiver.
However, if you are using a FTA satellite receiver to 'steal' Nagravision 3 programming content, you may definitely be impacted. Initially, it appears that only boxes capable of an Internet connectivity using IKS software will be able to use a variant the current technique adopted for Nfusionfor receiveers. While many claims have been made from various set top box manufacturers, the final word has not even begun to be written as it pertains to older boxes and Nagravision 3.Some STB manufacturers have actually announce that add-on hardware will be made available to some boxes, making them capable of updates over the net, which would give them the ability to use IKS. If you are considering the purchase of a box right now, many suggest waiting to see what happens over the next few months, or you may be wasting your money.
How long will we have to wait for a Nagravision 3 fix?
No one knows how long it will take before the masses are able to break the Nagravision 3 code, or if it will ever be fully hacked. We will monitor developments and announce any new findings here. In the meantime, record a good number of movies and shows in advance, because it may be a long time before you will be able to watch pirated satellite signals. |
