Default P4 Cards

Is there any p4 card programmer out, or can the current hu programmers access the p4 cards. I heard rumours upon rumours about peeps saying that they have done it. From good source i've heard that's it's true, but they are not ready to relaese it as yet. I know many of them are scammers, but can anyone tell me a valid programmer or software is out for the p4 as yet.???

You all know that hu (the one with the football player) is the current cards we in Jamaica using right now, since DTV/Dave shut down the h (on with the satellite) stream. The hu stream also will be shut down early next year. In-fact it was suppose to have happen this year end, but due do peeps bragging about they have cracked the nu card. Dave Have postponed that action. Where DTV service is available, they are swapping out the hu cards for the nu one which is the P4 card (they send all their customers p4 for the each receiver they have). What i'm saying is that. I heard peeps say that they have programmed the p4 cards, but peeps from some popular dss test sites say that 99.99% of the peeps who say that the have done so are scammers. Cause u would have to send them your p4 card and a $100. Get me so far? My question is this, if programming the P4 card is possible. Can the hu card programmer program it, or a P4 card programmer is required and if so is are they available?

And here I was thinking the p4 meant Pentium 4 :-[ ;D

I don't know much about these cards, but my guess would be that the new p4 cards would require their own special programmers and so the hu programmer would not work with it.

Here's the low down: We don't know.

It is conceivable that the current line of HU programmers will be able to program the new p4 cards with nothing more than an atmel upgrade, however no official (if there is such a thing) has been released.

Rest assured, if p4s can't be prgrammed with hu programmers, I'll have a batch of p4 programmers in before you can say "mi hu stop work".

No my friend I wouldn't want my company to loose money no one want to loose money, but get real man it's not illegal in jamaica. It connot be illegal in jamiaca, simply because they don't offer their services to use. There are many peeps out there who do what I do, and that's watch free tv simply because it's free ;D. :P to cable and its' CRAPPY service and support, my experience with that is the reason why I watch free tv. Just memba seh Donkey seh the world noh level. I'm glad to hear that ur one oh those good citizens. I leave you with this, if u could get something free and u saw it somewhere else for say 4Gs what would u do ??????

I almost forgot to ask u if u download music, warez files and stuff like that , if you do ur no better than I. U deprive the owner of the of those materials u download MONEY. Same situation defferent senario. If u say u don't download at least music, I don't believe u, not even once or even buy cd from a guy on the road. Ur NO better than I and the rest of us who watch free tv. So don't cry fowl or shame if ur no better >.

Actualluy, as I ahd satated in a prior post, programming DSS cards are not illegal in Jamaica. It may be moralyl wrong, but not illegal. The only place that has laws against it is the United States and it's territories.

Canada is close to passing a comparable law ,but an injunction has been filed in one of their courts to stop the law.

So for now, program away.

Programmers: $6000.00
