I thought DTV cards haven't been able to be programmed by hackers in 4 years??? Why are they still hunting down people to allege hacking when it supposedly can't be hacked??

The lawsuits are what has kept the hacks that have been done for the last 4 years out of the general publics hands. P4/P5 cards are hacked, it's just not a viable business to be in selling them or the code when DTV is still hunting H/HU card hackers from the last century. Not the industry has just moved on...

FTA FTW!
