  • Found this video from one of the many VHS tapes purchased at an estate sale. Looks like its from the good old days of Dish Network hacking? Looks like a desperate attempt to get people to give up equipment without any monetary funds. Kind of a ripoff if you ask me. I got a good laugh out of this when I watched it. Looks like its from the 80's/90's sometime??
    I will post any more funny crap if I find it from the 125 pre-recorded mess of tapes!

    This is around circa 2000-2002, and Brian Olson may have been the host of the Dish Answer Channel on channel 100 during that timeframe, before early 2002 when the Answer Channel moved to channel 101 and became the Remote Control Help channel.

      DirecTV has always had a different approach, they just ECM any pirate smart cards they find and keep on top of their security a lot better. Meanwhile, Dish has to do this shit because the Nagravision encryption they use is notoriously weak, so they just send out lots of legal threats and use scare tactics to make up for it.

      Not possible. Satellite descramblers are recieve only.
      They don't phone home even if you are a subscriber is the satellite broadcasts your satellite card ID for the channels you are authorized for. If the ID is not in the broadcast your box wont descramble the channels.
      These anti piracy channels were only visible to those with hacked descramblers, because they would descramble everything they could find but these channels were invisible to legitimate customerrs

    • @TheGreatK0rnholio
      @TheGreatK0rnholio 2 ปีที่แล้ว +11

      Basically, it happened because pirate equipment indiscriminately decrypts everything it picks up, meanwhile legitimate subscribers wouldn't see it because it wasn't in any of the subscription packages. Technically speaking, legit equipment could pick it up, but since that also gets more specific channel data for the guide listings, they probably also didn't include it in said data so that it wouldn't appear on a normal box. But hey, that's just a theory...a DISH theory.

    • @vivianciurus5326
      @vivianciurus5326 2 ปีที่แล้ว +13

      The idea behind this is really simple. Dish Network hosts this channel, encrypted using Nagravision 1. They don't "allow" anyone to watch this channel, but the Nagravision bypass decrypts all of the channels, even if not all of them can be accessed by a legitimate Dish customer. That's why Pirate TV was available only for pirates (and of course internally for Dish Network employees)

      I worked for dish in 2009 they were still broadcasting a variation of this video. We were never trained on it until I was promoted a couple years later. I seen this on a legit set top box I brought into the customers home from the van and it was running wide open with all channels. I called our tech line and gave them the R00/S00 numbers and their equipment verification team took over the call, called my FSM and everyone only to find out a prototype somehow got slipped into the refurb process and never got cleared out properly. Customer almost canceled because they saw this and were hella offended and thought I was a pirate installer or some shit.

This would a very different situation for the sellers if dish offered literally anything else to the user other than "Give us money or go to federal PMITA prison" I mean, I know people so cheap, they would have flipped for a 20$ gift card of 3 months of free legal service.

      Yeah, and this wasn't as effective as one might think since the people selling the pirate boxes/cards could very easily explain that literally the only way they could actually find you is if you called the number, but from everything I've heard they weren't bullshitting about not pressing charges if the people calling became customers. But you could also avoid having to do that at all by just not calling and in fact continuing to use the box until they change the encryption because it's a mostly empty threat. Now, if you were using various online piracy methods, on the other hand, that's pretty traceable and a lot of people have gotten legal threats from Nagrastar (basically the company Dish tells to metaphorically break your legs if you get caught pirating) due to that.
