Bev about to move.. It's ecm time.
Now is the time for our Canadian friends to make sure they have a backup.
It's looking like another new ecm will happen today (guesstimate around 1pm EST).
Reported Map3b timing was being tested by B3v earlier in the week, actually 2 different map calls & 4 timer values, appear to be headed our way. The more calls and unknown timer values they throw into the mix, the more difficult it is for our coders to overcome. Brute forcing timer values may not be an option this time, but we won't know till they show us what they have planned. Once a map emu surfaces, and is fully functional, they'll have to get a lot more creative with their ecm's. These pesky Map/Timer combo's won't cut it. Till then we may have a bumpy ride.
Be smart, plan ahead for downtime. Record a few shows, or checkout some other sats while this chess game continues.
One thing is certain. This game WILL continue. Competition for market share WILL fuel solutions, and you can bet Coder Teams WILL scramble once again to show us who has the muscle to stay in the game. A lot of units WILL fall by the wayside over support issues, as providers step up their game. Be prepared & stay tuned right here for all the latest breaking news and further updates.
If you have questions, be sure and use this forum properly and ask in the proper sections. Lets help each other and stay calm. Lets do it with dignity & respect for each other. Remember, when faced with adversity, never let you opponent see you sweat
Enjoy this great hobby, but NEVER let it get to you. Sub to a provider for best results and least downtime.
