Post subject: Is the "real" one legal?

Ugh! It was not fun waking up this morning to no Dream. While it was not perfect, at least I got the Today Show every morning!

So here's the million dollar question.... If we suck it up and buy the very expensive "real" Dream package, then how do we know if the Chinese government won't shut them down. Are they legal in China? I thought all media is controlled here?

What's a TV junky to do???

Jesus... how many times

Dream satellite is broadcast from the Philippines and is nothing to do with the chinese - they have no way of shutting it down. Satellite dishes and receivers require permit to have, and this is how they control it. In reality you can put up and dish and decoder no problem and lots of foreigners do so without any problems...

The 'real' dream package is the only package... the reason the quality of broadcasting has dropped is because they were losing money to the pirates... the cost is not that much more and very cheap compared to sat broadcasting in most countries...

Shine glad to hear that Nagra 3 has been hacked.
Be nice if we can get a hacked card and shove it down Mr Cons throat and finally shut this fella up who has been constantly claiming it could never be done and the only alternative was his over priced streaming.

Sure, Philsatcorp ( not me ) is now selling new decoders with 12 months subs for 2450rmb delivered.

You can buy from many agents like shanghaidream who can provide you with the necessary decoder and customer support.

Renewals are 1800rmb

Post subject: New Dream Cards?

So.... just awhile ago, I get a text from a guy named Jack who says he now has the "new" pirated Dream cards. Can anyone verify that they broke the code for all the channels? How much is the going rate for the cards? Does anyone have it yet on the old Bolt machines?

Very Happy
