TPS halfhalf????

[Gast]

Heeft iemand het bovenstaande van Montoya nog geprobeerd? Ik wil alleen M6 music, wil dat zeggen dat ik er geen codes hoef af te halen?

Klopt, ik gebruik ook een apart kaartje als ik alleen TPS wil zien. Je kan het wel combineren met een aantal providers maar je moet wel weten welke en TPS wisselt dit regelmatig. Zie hieronder de engelse uitleg van Wolfman:

 

A lot of people keep on asking about TPS so here's the solution :

 

Take the hex that used to work with your receiver/cam.

Edit the eprom file and remove all providers but TPS (00 7C 00).

Burn a extra card (TPS only).

Sit down and enjoy.

 

 

This is working 100% of the time. Other solutions may work from time to time but are nor reliable.

 

If this was just what you were looking for then you can leave this message here.

And for those who want to understand why, here's the explanation (hang on to your chair):

 

When you broadcast a DVB channel, you not only send the video and the audio but you also have to send a lot of information to describe what you're sending. This is needed to help the receiver find out what is received (how many channels per transponder, the names of the channels, is it TV or Radio,....)

Those pieces of information are sent in "tables". The various tables and what they must contain is defined by the MPEG2 and DVB standards. Tables are just bytes formatted in a certain way and sent from time to time between the video and the audio. It's a bit different but I'm trying to simplify as much as possible.

Among those tables, there's one called the PMT (Program Map Table). Each channel has one and only one PMT. So if you have 10 channels on a transponder you will have 10 different PMTs. The PMT is used to describe what belongs to the channel.

 

It contains the needed information (the famous PIDs) to find the audio and video data. It also contains the information whether the channel is scrambled or not.

 

This information is formated in what is called a descriptor (it's actually called the Conditional Access Descriptor). This descriptor contains the PID on which you can find the ECMs as well as the Provider ID (00 7C 00 for TPS). Those ECMs are

the "tables" that contain the ECW (Encrypted Control Word). Those ECW are retrieved, sent to the smartcard to be decrypted and then used to descramble the signal.

 

So to summarize : the receiver gets the PMT, it finds that the channel is scrambled thanks to the CA descriptor, it selects the associated Provider using its ID if this provider is present on the smartcard (otherwise it says No Right and that's it) and finally ECW are sent to the smartcard to be decrypted.

 

Now here's the good part. There's usually only one CA descriptor in the PMT. But sometimes there are more (2 or 3) when several encryption systems are used. But in this case the smart engineers from TPS have put lots of them. As much as they can actually without breaking the DVB standard. And those descriptors (we can call them fake) point to other provider id than TPS. This means that when the receiver get the PMT, it starts to scan it and find the first fake CA descriptor. The receiver checks if the (fake) provider is on the card and if it's the case then it locks on it and start to use it for the ECW.

The trick here is that fake CA descriptors are placed BEFORE the real one. So if none of those providers are on your smartcard it ends up to the good one TPS.

 

And you may say "ok fine but why does it say No Right". To understand this you have to know that each of the ECW sent to the card is sent with the entitlements and what is called a signature. This signature is here to make sure of the authenticity of the message. So the card checks both the entitlements and the signature but with the wrong keys (because the fake provider is selected) and it answers No Right.

 

So during this was written the fake providers are SCT, UltraBlue, SexView, ART, ABSat and Canal+. You can do the test if you want, create a card with all the providers you want except those ones and it will work.

 

And now the question is why should i only put TPS on my card and no other providers since I know now which ones I have to avoid. That's because this is not static. They change the providers from time to time and cover the full spectrum of the various providers on the air. For instance, a while ago those fake providers were SCT, UltraBlue, SexView, ABSat, NTV, SRG, MTV, HRT and BBC.

 

So just put TPS on your card on you're safe. It will work at any time (until they switch to viaccess 2 of course but that's another story).

 

Hope you understand better now.

Ik gebruik een Xsat310 met een goldcard en 13 providers erop en alle kanalen van TPS werken uitstekend.

@Lusitano

goede vonst !

 

erg helder en duidelijk....

[Gast]

Tombat,

 

zou je mij die file met 13 provs eens willen emailen? Of stuur ff een PM. Ik wil die weleens proberen en bekijken met picbined. Weet je zeker dat je ALLE TPS kanalen kan zien i.c.m. die andere 13 providers? Kan je b.v. SIC op Hotbird ontvangen? Mij lukt dat echt voor geen meter als er andere providers op de kaart staan. Ben reuzebenieuwd, misschien heb je mazzel doordat je ontvanger immuun is voor de technische truc van TPS.

Sorry, de R vergeten, ik bedoelde dus Tombart.

klopt op oude versie 2002d/e/f/ blijft de zaak nogal eens hangen maar de 2002g doet het wel goed
