Its been 3 years since public emus open powervu,and very few cases or changes if at all in the american skies....
I am not alone in my thinking. You can go two or tree years back in this forum and you will find people posting same or similar post about America's pvu vulnerability and how quickly they can move to other crypto if they are force. Best old post sample is when they ask shishmish not to post America's keys in is Softcam.Key files. By they way may appreciation and thanks to shishmish for respecting our thinking.
...very few cases or changes if at all in the american skies.
Southamerican providers are more worry about the hacks,but not the North americans.
If you had leave in a citi in North America you should know the answer. It is their ego. Most counties if not all have laws that limit TV viewers to use C-Band Antennas. They think they are ugly and as soon as some one raise an antenna a whole community jump on him to removed it. And since all pvu is in C-Band well you know the answer.
...Now,europeans providers using PVU were always scarce,and the main problem in Euope and other places is the armed forces feeds.

I do not think it is really have to do with Europe or Asia. But the good vip providers that used pvu and even in ku band. If you recall all fight back started in Asia I do not recall their names. Our buddy strong5000 kept mentioning them, Hongkong or Taiwan I do not clearly recall. But They where the first to move to $0A. Then we have the AFN, MNT, Etc. So it is not Europe/Asia but their Good Providers using pvu.
A few years ago I was scare as some mexican forums start coming to SU forum in search for their keys. I do not the story there but some how it never got to be a thread.
Now we all see a change in time.
1-UHD came out. So none UHD Chinese boxes that where for the most part in the $100 now went ridiculous to $20 shipping included!!
2-We have the BISS_Server competence
3-PVU in MNT, AFN,etc been block or let say unreliable/intermittent making this boxes loose their market.
4-And my worry, users from America start showing up at SU just because their Chinese boxes have no automatic web key support. And they seems to ask only for keys, do not want to understand the theory behind the hack. So kebien and others keeps responding them "MODE" is unsupported, and in response as they have no idea what MODE means they ask again. What a joke.
But it is increasing the number of request. You add it all and maybe can see my point.
