I doubt it very much mate. These feeds come and go. They only usually last a few hours

I know this subject comes up time and time again and you are proball bored stiff by it, but here goes.

I make my living from gambling and am aware that these pictures may exist, I know that they are now encrypted and some people supposedly can decode them. I dont actually want to do this (unless it becomes necessary), I just want to try to assess how easy it is and therefore how widespread the "problem" is. You may not believe it but I do not want to see pictures ahead of anybody, I just dont want "too many" people in front of me.....

So in summary.... can they be decoded ? if so how easily ? Is the quipment freely available ?

Cheers.

Yes you can pay the lads in the know a great deal of money every time the codes on the feeds change. Or you can shell out for the SIS equipment - about #10k a year near enough. Or you can save your pennies and use the ATR / Sky / C4 coverage.

And yes the SIS questions get very tiresome when they turn up over and over again. You wouldnt believe how many times Ive been emailed over the years asking for info with the promise that "money is available for my help". Im still waiting for the first cheque....

When you say for your help, could you or anyone break the codes? you do not need to shell out for SIS as you can pay a daily rate at an exchange shop to watch. This would be for the RAW pictures, approx 1 to 1.5 seconds ahead of sis.

This was back in the days when all the sis feeds were free.

I refuse to help now - my time is too valuable - they get told to pay the yearly sis fee for their geegee coverage or do without.

SIS feeds are encrypted in Power Vu which hasn't been broken and i doubt i will be broken any time soon.

To get Power Vu encrypted stuff you need a dedicated decoder (Usually made by Scientific Atlanta) and a subscription. There is no other way that i'm aware of getting these encrypted broadcasts
