Thread: Do people hack DSTV decoders?

  1. #1

    Default Do people hack DSTV decoders?

    I dont know if u guys have even gone into a flea market or a shady corner store and found that the store owner is watching or has DSTV playing on a TV in his store. Do u find it strange that he would play hundreds of rands to get a paid channel on a tv that he is only going to use from 8 til 5 each day?
    I have heard rumours that DSTV units can be hacked, and why not anyways, i mean they have hacked and chipped ps2, xboxes, ps3 by now, why not the decoders?
    Can decoders really be hacked?

    Not the decoder, but you can buy Free to watch Smart cards. They don't last very long though

    AFAIK you just need to send a sms (if the adverts are anything to go by).

    Then I would assume it's still possible.

    To use your current fully paid Smart card to use in another decoder

    A former colleague of mine showed me a fake smart card about 2 years ago. It was credit card sized PCB (printed circuit boad) with pads in the same locations as the contacts on a smart card. On the PCB there was also a surface mount microcontroller. According to him you could watch DSTV to your hearts content. He paid a lot of money for it but he got his full money's worth and more. I did some searching on the net after I saw that but I never found anything again.

    There were also those "chipped" Mnet decoders that a lot of people had.

    yes but the danger of DSTV fake cards are a real danger. i spoke to someone about this a while back and he told me that they can find you real quick. he said they could ping the remote device and find you!

    How could they find you if there's no way for a decoder to send out signals?
