I appreciate. I need a clarification. I have DIshTV (india) set-top-box (KOAN model). It worked nicely the past five years. Recently (couple of months back) a problem started. Whenever it is powered ON, it asks for re-scanning of all the channels. Once done, it works finely until it's powered off. Every time it is switched ON (electrical power), it looses previous version of scanned channels and asks for 're-scanning / re-installation' of the channels again. Could that mean, some memory of battery to be replaced ? Dear sir,

Ts needs to be demuxed before the descrambling can take place. Hi, th CA module is not placed before the multiexer. Ts needs to be demuxed before the descrambling can take place.

no you cannot buy just the smart cards.. also u cannot view the signal because the signal is scrambled.. i am not sure if these signals are available in clear on insat.. may be u can check on these channels websites for tuning parameters.

It used to pick up all european satellites in europe and middle east and watch the free to air channels. But in India i am unable to lock on to even insat (though it appears in the list of satellite information which is pre-fed into the receiver). Also can i buy a Tata Sky or any other DTH operator smart card to insert into the front smart card slots? No one seems to be advertising for sale of these cards alone without the set top box.

Recently I encounter a problem with my STB. Everytime I switch off my STB and make it ON, I need to 're-install' all the channels. Once tuned (everytime) the channels are clear and no issue, until STB is powered OFF. Does that mean, EEPROM / FLASH malfuntion ? What do I need get my problem solved ? Thanks.

If you see an auto as a means to an end, and all of you value is getting there, then you need an application platform like Google’s AppEngine. Here you just add an practical application, and the rest is taken care of. If on the other hand you run ec2, you’re no longer distressing about computer hardware, but still about instances and virtual servers. All of them run OS’s that need to be maintained; it’s like taking taxi’s but still having to know everything about the taxi’s engines. I predict that sooner or later we’ll move towards AppEngine like designs or ‘managed clouds’. Unfortunately, for most cloud computing platforms the car analogy you give doesn’t work out.
