What's the deal?

[--JR--]

This post is a little riske but I'll do my best to keep it within the forum rules.

It is my impression that FTA recievers have support for DVB decryption, like the Pansat models and have been known to be pointed at some satellite providers to recieve more then just the DVB encoded channels.

So my question... Is this support obtained from firmware updates to the recievers generally or by hardware modifications?

I've read a number of manufacturers web sites and they flat out say that if you do a firmware update that you void the warrantee on the product even if the firmware is supplied to you by the same manufacturer. Which I find extreemly strange since in computer circles most manufacturers won't even take back a product for RMA unless you have done the firmware update and it still is a problem.

Hopefully I haven't over stepped the boundries of the forum rules.

Thanks!
