- Well, how does it work?... What kind of microcontroller is on
- the 'credit-card' which you can buy to receive D2MAC
- satelite TV.. Tech specs anyone ? What information is
- received from the satelite..? Or is it so, that the real
- protection lies in that nobody knows anything about the
- implementation of the encryption system...?
- Could be fun if anybody had information about other hardware
- protection types.
- Don't get me wrong.. I'm a software-guy - wouldn't dream of
- hardware reverse-engineering satelite coders. But I sure am
- curious about the technology involved...
