DTH system in DR
AZB, a DTV system in DR is no deferent than a DTV system in the USA. The problem you are having with your system is that you are using a hacked HU card and the 3Ms that have been used are of the freeware variety. Your card goes down frequently because the same 3Ms being applied to the card are also being downloaded from DirecTV?s signal integrity department and ECMs specifically developed to ?HASH? or counter the firmware change within the card made by those 3Ms.
The HU is close to the end of its life cycle and DirecTV has become very aggressive in their attempt to control their piracy problem. They are introducing new ECMs on a weekly basis to control the HU until they can completely change over all their customers to their new cards ? the P4 or there latest effort the P5. Don?t expect to be enjoying uninterrupted DTV viewing under the current situation. Be advised that DTV should complete their swap process by the end of the year and the HU (the currently used card) will be discontinued.
With respect to DishNetwork, you can receive it here with the same 6? (1.8 m) dish and the same LNB that you use to receive DTV however you need a DishNet IRD, the DTV IRD will not work with DishNetwork. DishNetwork introduces you to a new set of challenges if your intentions are to pirate their signal. DishNet is less aggressive than DTV, at this time, attacking piracy but recovering from a DishNet ECM is much more cumbersome, or rather more laborious, than from a DTV ECM. In the DishNet setup both the card and the IRD need to be worked on. DishNet has the ability to ?ZAP? the card as will as the IRD. Your hacking efforts are considerably more with a DishNet system. You also run the risk of ?losing? your dish IRD in one of those infamous ECMs.
All that said, it is possible to successfully install and enjoy a DishNet system here in the DR. DishNet has three satellites located at 61.5,110 and 119 degrees west. The 119 and 110 are the two you will be most interested in. DishNet had four cards in operation, ROM2, ROM3, ROM10 and ROM11. The cards that are fully compromised are the ROM2 and ROM3 but will probably soon be retired. The ROM10 is workable but not fully compromise and I?m not sure about ROM11. There is one final option available on DishNet it is called an AVR and it is a device that replaces the official DishNet card but I don?t know how successful it is or if it is still working. One final note, any DishNet system not officially subscribed will require the installation of a device in the IRD to protect it. I believe that it is less troublesome to subscribe in the US and bring your system here and enjoy it. Whatever you decide on doing good luck
