anyone seen sky living plus 1, sky sports 4 and skysports news not working today via third party servers? on same TP?
If we're lucky its just a glitch, if not then it could be that they are finally upgrading their encryption, which was supposed to happen at the beginning of January.
Is the other Sky sports 4 still working?
i did a re scan on this TP and all 20 channels dont work
ssp4 is working on 11915
seems all the channels on this TP have moved
sky living plus 1 now 12265 h working
skysports 4 working on 11914 (maybe irish one? )
12207 sky sprts newshq
Seems that it's mainly on freq 12148H 27500 that they are having 'issues' as for example Sky Sports 4 SD on 11914H 27500 seems fine for me!
e.g. Sky Sports 1 on 12148H not working either! Unfortunately Eurosport 1 & 2 are also on 12148H and therefore not opening either!
Living +1 on 12265H 27500 seems fine, but on 12148H it's not!
Think things may be afoot??
some one elsewhere has said the same frequency 12148H is working on official box ?
Eurosport 1 & 2 also on 12148 are down at present. That's with an official card in a VU+ box running oscam.
I've been told encryption change on 12148H, working on official box.
No further info.
In my opinion I don't think its anything as sinister as Hardware Pairing.
If you check the ECM length its B0
I dont think any EMU can currently handle that ECM length.
If this is the case we will have to wait for a patch from Oscam. As far as using CCcam, well a patch for that isnt going to happen.
Im just checking through all other working UK channels and so far none are using B0 , so hopefully this is all it is. I'm hoping I dont find any that are working and also using B0 lol
Ian.
EDIT: Scratch that
Sky Atlantic is using 79 and thats not working either.
ECM length 79 is a new one too, I think Atlantic was previously 71. The new ECM length is being rejected by oscam as a dud.
Hopefully, it's nothing worse and there will be a fix soon.
ITS A Transponder Fault @ 28.2E 12148 H 27500 ALL Channels on that TP are Dark even using my Own Sky + HD Box with my Sky card in it even Sky Sport Box Office not work Either showing FTA Promo's for WWE PPV !!!
No Encryption Change !!
phoned Sky they said it will hopefully be fixed in next 24-48hrs as there has been many reports exactly the same isues with that freq tonight . : )
That's odd Barney, seen it reported elsewhere that these channels are still working on official boxes... Also, I can't see any related complaints on the official help forum, and the channels have been down all day.
Sky Sport Box Office promos are not FTA, the channel is still encrypted but FTV.
Something has definitely changed with the ECMs on 12148H, a support ticket to look at the issue has been logged with oscam.
YES I HAVE VERY old Sky HD box Have never Ever used it untill this evening , even calling Sky they tried to send activation signals
which failed and thats when they said it looks like its a technical fault and should be resolved soon ,
i suppose its no great surprise they start to mess about with freq for WWE PPV first to avoid anyone watching on linux boxes and probably stops IPTV Streams aswell ??
i have oscam reading card on my dmbox but its an old version IF a fix or patch can be found does than mean i must upgrade to a newer Oscam vsersion if indeed a new patched version can be made ???
Yes Barney you will have to update.
The ticket thats been raised on the Oscam forum only mentions the ECM size of 79 and doesnt mention B0 and for the life of me I cannot figure out how to comment and tell them its B0 as well.
Ian.
Sussed it, you have to login before you can comment.
Does anyone know if these 12148 MHz channels are working on old SD boxes - there are supposed to be many thousands of the old non-HD boxes still out there in regular use. My guess is that they are not working.
But if the these 12148 MHz channels are working on old SD boxes, that opens an opportunity to investigate, as it has been reported that the old SD boxes are not secure.
[QUOTE=Burnham;963335]Does anyone know if these 12148 MHz channels are working on old SD boxes
I have an old SD box in a spare bedroom, but for Freesat only, so cannot check Sky Sports (SSports package) or Eurosport (Entertainment) without subscribing!! lol!!
12148H still off as reported yesterday on TM5402HD M3 with cs however, but to me, as a sports fanatic it's the loss of Eurosport on it's ONLY SD transponder 12148H which bothers me the most!
i have a sky q box and all channels work no problem.
People who claim on a real box on TP working must have a Crystal ball, as there is nothing on a sky-box to tell you what TP your on or info :)
seems to me sky moved channels to new tp`s if a fault, as a few i could find from a new scan, but sky Atlantic was only 2 and both the same TP and dead
on the vu in the bedroom, all on the said TP are dead, some 20 channels
people talking of SD card pairing, someone told me ages ago cant be done due to the old chips and old menus on SD boxes?
just turned the vu on
and
51% signal on 12148 and dead on ssp4
done a ABM in case anyone has updated any new freg`s on that software
dead all 20 channels on that TP
turn on sky q boxes, all channels working :)
so strange
double post
channels all work on sky q
all the channels are working sd and hd on my sky +hd 1t box.
Haven't used a Sky box for a while, but you used to be able to identify which transponder you were using by selecting manual tuning from the menu, it showed the last TP in use.
I would also add that the missing channels are still being broadcast on 12148H, and haven't turned up on any other TP.
Anyway, I've a feeling that this may be more than a quick fix. It is being reported that the 79 ecm length is also in use on Racing UK, and that is still clearing. It might be a red herring.
just checked eurosport working sd on very old sd box at my local with sk* sub.
It's easy to swap out 4 of the effected channels if you follow the readme text in /usr/lib/enigma2/python/Plugins/AutoBouquetsMaker/custom
Swapping out 122, 128, 404 & 406 - for their working counter parts - 1181, 1096, 498 & 1187
"using the Example file in the custom directory"
To make your own custom LCN file just delete 'EXAMPLE_' from the file name
I added the following which worked fine for me.
But please bear in mind that:Quote:

It all depends on how you have ABM configured im using Tyne Custom & have "include not indexed channels set to yes"
you really need to find you own working counterparts eg: in not indexed make a note of the numbers and change accordantly in "Example 282_sky_uk_CustomLCN.xml"
Then just run AutoBouquetsMaker Scanner
Sky Italia introduced a two way encryption awhile back which has proved to be effective on Cs it's nds+icam
As for ICAM, it has yet to be 'cracked' since its implementation on Sky Italia!
Although in the case of Sky UK, there are some old SD boxes which could be dumped and worked on I suppose.
Question is, will anyone bother to do it considering the quality is not HD and the channels themselves may be removed from transmission shortly after!
How can they implement a new encryption if that is the case with unsecured sd boxes for all to see?
Even old SD boxes support ICAM encryption (in addition to the usual NDS encryption), which appears to be the cause of the issue!
Coincidence that Sky Uk have a 3 day sale on?
Above is views of others...
It's been notable in the past, that when sky implement any changes, it usually happens on Tuesdays and Thursdays. So lets see what tomorrow brings.
Oscam ECM Size Increased from 596 to 1024 Globally.
Can someone who has a Sky UK local card please test this.
Its a simple build with just the Global ECM size increased. It has no patches or EMU's its just built to test the theory that Sky may have increased their ECM sizes. If it works a proper build can be done returning the Global size to 596 and defining NDS to 1024 permanently. Then adding patches and EMU. If it doesnt work then the increase in ECM size can be ruled out once and for all.
Unless a Server I'm connected too has this ( which they do not ) then they cannot send me the correct ECM. So it has to be tested with a Sky UK local.
Ian.
I CAN TEST no problem ....BUT WILL That file be ok to use in my old Dm600s SD Box which reads the card ???
cheers @ ian !!
i went ahead and deleted my oscam binary file and loaded the binary that you posted @ ian
I RESTARTED Oscam after FTP'ing the oscam bin file
but still TCM , SBO PPV , Sky Sport News HQ Etc.. Fails to open anything on 12148 H
everything still apart from that one transponder still works .
if someone else wishes to test please do so just incase i may have done some mistake because im no Oscam expert i'm afraid :nopity:

1024 max length compile tested elsewhere with red card and not working, so all Barney's findings are correct.
I JUST Inserted card into my old Sky Ire SD Pace Reciever to test again and now all channels at 12148 H are working with card inserted in my very old Sky SD Box
but Entitlements changed today all now at 21-05-2017
i think this is due to sky sending those activation signals last night to my card ??
it must have needed an update in order to clear those dark channels on my Sky SD Box i suppose .
But this looks like worst news especially since it appears to be something more than ECM Length issue causing this dark screens on 12148 H
i fear with what ive read so far that tommorrow possibly will likely bring even further bad news :frown:
as stated its NOT a TP problem as working off cards in real boxes
its ticket 4600 on streamboard
so seems a new icam pairing code on sd boxes.
remember Easter time 2013? HD gone
It would be foolhardy to say the least for them to implement the ICAM encryption on boxes that can be fully dumped, So personally I cannot see it being that.
However, if they have been stupid enough to do exactly that,then this could be a blessing in disguise over the long term.
Short term though, I think its time to purchase that cable tuner Ive been meaning to buy for several months now.
Ian.
Sky Living +1 12266 H 27500 5/6 works
[QUOTE=satscene;963344]Absolutely mate - already got it on my TM5402HD M3 - but that's NOT the point surely here?
12148H is the ONLY frequency upon which Eurosport 28E can be obtained, unlike other Sky Sports channels which can 'luckily' be found on more than ONE freq!
NB: Scanned in 12148H as 'added channel' on my Sky+ HD box - and they ALL still open ok, SD and HD!
Apparently another transponder gone tonight, 11597V. Just a couple of rather dubious channels there...
On a happier note, there are rumours of a fix on the way.
