V****n code update cripples cable boxes
by Brian Turner
v****n Media have applied a code update which has crippled cable boxes across the country which were used for receiving cable TV illegally.
Cable boxes affected include the Eurovox, Nokia Dbox, Starview and Kryptview.
Users receiving cable TV illegally receive the error message “Please wait…code been updated” and no channels can be accessed.
According to industry analyst Ian Waller, “The change is causing false keys to be recorded on a ROM7 update, usually only 1 or 2 characters are wrong, this has been happening on ROM10 and ROM11 updates for the last year. A genuine card can handle the change, an emulator can not.”
v****n Media applied a similar change around a year ago, and it took almost a week for firmware updates for chipped boxes to keep pace.
However, from reports coming in the changes by v****n may not be a simple one off event, but instead being applied on a daily basis.
Although updates are available on the internet which try to keep track of the changes, if the code changes are being implemented on a daily basis this could make it very difficult for firmware updates to keep track.
The result would be a victory for v****n in their battle against cable piracy, and an end to the widespread use of cable boxes for receiving free cable TV.
UPDATE: Reports in the Techwatch forums suggest another code update began at 3:30pm today. It looks like v****n have indeed started to apply daily code changes.
i don't know if this has already been posted, but i've just found this info:-

My apologies if its already posted..just wondering what this means for all the dbox2 owners:FRIGHT:
O.k. thanks for that, i have followed it all, however when i get to the stage where i have to update the keys none of the keys listed on extracp site are anywhere near to the ones showing on my box. i have 4 keys 2 starting N 5A01 00 and then 2 starting N 5A01 01 which part of the keys do i need to change as my understanding is that i only need to change 2 numbers or do i replace the whole lot.
Means cheaper dboxes on ebay:banana::banana:
Scotland TW keys in download folder working in Newcastle.
Thanks to all.
Hi I give up im gonna give the keys a try, can someone please pm me the keys above which work in newcastle, can I change the keys by using the remote, I found found a thread on here which says I can if so cracking then it would be worth doing rather than hooking up to my pc to sort out. Thanks
