Dear Customer,
As you may be aware, Austar have implemented recent changes to their
encryption system in order to stamp out piracy of subscription television in
Australia. Unfortunately, these anti-piracy measures have affected genuine
Austar subscribers who prefer to use their own third party decoders instead of
the standard issue decoder offered by Austar. These changes have caused
genuine Austar subscription smartcards to become scrambled when used in non
Austar approved decoders.
This implementation, we believe to be wrong and unfair. We totally support
all attempts to eradicate pirate smartcards but not at the expense of the
customer who pays substantial monthly subscription fees to access the Austar
service and only wants to be able to use his own decoder. There are many
benefits in using a third party decoder over a standard Austar decoder. These
benefits include better quality outputs via component connection, PVR for
recording, better structured program guide, faster channel change and
operation and better connection options when used as part of a home
entertainment setup. And of course, let's not forget about the grey nomad who
pays for his subscription every month and spends most of the year travelling
the country. The obvious benefit in this case is the 12 volt DC operation
that some models offer. Others simply prefer to own their own decoder that
can be customised just the way they like it for example modified EPG and
layout/renaming of categories. I wonder how many disgruntled 'loyal'
customers will vent their anger at Austar and cancel their subscription due to
the above? I also wonder how many subscribers, Austar has picked up
inadvertently though visiting shops like SatPlus and all of the other
reputable satellite TV businesses around the country who sell equipment that
further enhances the Austar service and adds value to it. If you'd like to
express your concerns and voice your opinion, contact Austar on the link
below.
Austar and Foxtel programs are broadcast from the Optus C1 satellite. Austar scrambles their programs using IRDETO encryption while Foxtel use NDS Videoguard. The Optus C1 satellite is located at 156 degrees East (longitude). Optus C1 also carries the Aurora channels. SelecTV is the only other English channel Pay TV package provider in Australia. SelecTV is broadcast on the Intelsat8 satellite which is located at 166 degrees East (longitude).
