hi everyone i have just joined this forum . i am a member of many and compare how the forums differ in software and teck advise on starview boxes. i think we all know that we are going to lose all channels soon and at the moment there is nothing anyone can do about it (unless you know different?)however being a tech freak myself i always keep my ear to the ground and i know of someone who claims to have overcome the new encryption with a 2 process activation software and claims it will be available by the end of august or soon after. i am monitoring it closely. she YES SHE has promised me i will be one of the first to use it when it becomes available so i will keep you informed. I am told it will only work on starview 4 or later if used on earlier boxes they WILL be bricked which is basically what they will be anyway. and if flashing instructions are not followed the new starview will also be bricked so be warned. I will post again as soon as i know it is available...
