    channels gone off

    Can someone post what channels have gone off so that I can remove them from my bouquets for the time being. The reason for asking is if i press on a channel thats gone off I get "tuned failed" message then the box freezes.


    This post will get edited with all replies so that the channels are all in one post. If there are fixes for any of them please post in this thread and we'll keep it updated in the same way.

    All of Sky Sports news has gone off Inc UK IRISH and ALTERNATIVE


    are currently showing “scrambled” messages when trying to access these channels on this one frequency on cardsharing systems.


    It has been said that Sky have implemented a change in the encryption data meaning the card share systems cannot currently read the cards properly for about a dozen channels. It looks like these “missing” channels are all on the same frequency / transponder.

    Reports suggest that Sky have implemented “Icam” security, the same security that was used when Sky Italia went “dark” a few years ago, and still remains dark to this day.

    It could be that we do soon see a “fix”, and these systems will continue. In the meantime, there are some other versions of some of these channels on other frequencies that may still be open.

    Or is the beginning of the end of Sky UK cardsharing…we shall know if more channels disappear from these system in the next few days…

    This is like a few years ago, when the Sky HD channels slowly were removed from these systems. And goes with what Sky did say would happen about a year or so ago.

    I believe if you do a Full scan the channels come back. It only affects your Bouquets. If you do scan then go to all channels you normally find 2/3 of same channels etc one should work I'd think will try it later

    That's cos they have only blocked channels on one transponder
    you wont get the channels that are only on that transponder ie eurosport. Fox+1, sky atlantic and TCM

    From post on other forums it looks like they are implementing Icam so dont be suprised when you lose all the pay channels over the next few days/weeks

    Seems that the encryption is gone same way as they did for HD Pairing keys time to start looking to see if its going to be fixable and how to do it.
    8 Channels are hit so far

    Astra 2F 12148 H 27500
    Fox+
    Sky Atlantic
    Sky Living +1
    TCM
    Sky sports 4
    Sky sports news HQ
    Eurosport 1
    Eurosport2

    The problem exists within the CW (Control Word) The actual encryption data itself

    In layman's terms the encryption has not changed in the same way it did for HD or for the same way it did with Sky Italia, the encryption is compatible with existing Sky cards, including the old white 09's which is where local cards and shared cache's get the required data to make CS possible.

    What they have done is quite clever apparently but it will be worked out we hope, the changes that will be required to be made will all be within the "oscam.config" which is basically the standard configuration file that servers use to run and make sharing possible.

    There is a but though and that is the reasoning behind what has happened the last few days, the general feeling is that Sky were testing a few channels to see what the result was, that unfortunately is not true, Sky and anybody with a certain level of understanding of encryption would know that no test is required, the results of the changes that were made are set in stone and known before they were put in place therefore there is no test required or needed.

    Sky have obviously always taken it seriously and attempted to stop CS but it looks as though they have upped the effort on it and are seriously taking steps to put an end to it long term, or at least until the technology to work around it comes to light.

    With oscam ON A LOT OF servers, all we can do is hang out for updates that we hope will be available through streamboard forum in due course or even here with a fix. There's a lot of it already in there to read up on on streamboard.

    Surely if it was a transponder fault then everyone on sky would lose the said channels.
