Morning,

Finally got SP2 set up on my VIark DROI and it is working. Sly UK is only clearing the HD channels at the moment,
but that is something good IMO.

Thank you to all who responded and helped in answering my questions and providing information.
It doesn't usually clear sd tbh even though it did in early tests. and atm no bt sport either.

At least we get the HDs, but no BT Sport is a bit disappointing if I'm honest.
They do have good football with both PL and Euro Champions League, etc.

Also, I am quite a petrolhead and I like Aussie V8 Supercars and only BT Sport
carry that, so hope it gets sorted soon.

BT , Irish , ViaPlay Sport [ Premier Sport ] , Liverpool TV , MUTV ,SD Channels , Racing UK , Nick JNR HD [ Freesat ] , Comedy Central HD [ Freesat ] , Sky Documentaries HD , Sky/BT 4K .

NONE Of those work it is a partial K1 h@ck with very Limited HD Channels
once E2 Box users start piggybacking on this we'll see ECM Times increase due to overload
which is most likely why 16E SS is suffering high ECM Times lately
it will eventually become unwatchable when load and traffic increases on the hosting server ,
then likely quickly stop altogether which is my honest opinion it may last to this coming weekend
but very questionable but we are all aware there never was any guarantees anyhow .

My two Viark boxes were due for renewal, so I won't lose too much if they do go black. You have to expect that in the Sat hobby world.

Also @Ferret my Viark Sat 4K box goes to standby after 12hrs ..... 🤣🤣🔥
or perhaps if i will write in Swahili language it will be better understood ?? LOL's !!
afaik there is no such thing as a partial K1 hack.

You either have a K1, or you don't.
What do i have then ? or is it just me that is getting duped ....?? :unsure: 🤣
seems to me like nobody at all knows the answer to why its not all or nothing then ??

Would i really be right in thinking we simply are waiting for a counter attack possibly this weekend ??
perhaps that could be a valid reason as to why not everything is being shown and exposed just now just a partial teaser like a poker player just holding on to pocket Aces waiting to see the flop ??

To me that kinda sounds like what is being done and a deliberate move just to try raise some aggression
if Italy was exposed i do believe it would certainly cause some great anxiety and provoke a definite counter attack so perhaps that is why its being held back so long .

BT, Irish, ViaPlay Sport [ Premier Sport ], Liverpool TV, MUTV, Racing UK

All of those are separate subs from the main package, therefore it's not a shock (as such) that they do not currently open, maybe they are waiting to see if there is enough interest (people buying SP1 / 2 subs), before they pay the extra for these channels.

Nick JNR HD, Comedy Central HD, Sky Documentaries HD, MTV HD, TLC HD (you missed those and a few others) and the SD channels.

These are all included in the basic sub, so they will have cards that open them, however, out of those channels, only Sky Docs HD is an icam and a HW paired channel, so it's probably just that they forgot to add the sid for Sky Docs HD to the list of channels that open.

The rest of those, are not hw paired, therefore don't require a K1 to open them, maybe they just haven't added them to reduce load on the server (purely guessing) or they have only configured the system to encrypt the cw's of the HW paired channels (to stop someone from hacking it and setting up a server for E2 boxes as it was suggested happened last time) therefore the system is rejecting / giving invalid ecm's for the other channels.

Sky/BT 4K .
These will require the AES K1 which can only be obtained from a Q box AFAIAA (I personally think if they had the K1 from a Q box then they would have the UHD channels opening) as well as the extra subs.

Hi Azimuth,

Sadly 16E movie channels are still experiencing the freezing, but not on other satellites based
on the little testing I have done thus far.

What is strange is that 16E SS sport channels that show the football seem to be fine.

I watched Man Utd thrash Forest and Rashford and Martial didn't freeze in front of goal, so they are fine.

This issue is weird and appears to be localised to the 16E movie channels.

I'll continue to do more testing and checking with similar/same packages.
I did notice last night it was freezing every 10 mins during the Chelsea game and the second half it cleared up.

Man United game was pretty solid, apart from the odd freeze.

Tried watching SS2 today and it was freezing every few mins.

So weird.
