Re:How to Reverse-Engineer a Satellite TV Smart Card (2008) by schoolboard on Tuesday June 09, 2020 @10:52AM (#23467146)
Does anybody remember back in the late 80s when we had those BIG satellite dishes that you had to aim from one satellite to another for different stations? We had a chipped card and got some physical mailing every month with a huge code we had to type into the receiver from the remote to receive encrypted signals for that month. A huge pain, but as a bored kid in Nebraska I gladly did it! Anybody know more about that newsletter and how they did it?
