      Raydon 4.1.3 compatibility

      Thanks. Using my old HDR-FOXSAT is not possible. We sold our "System" with our house. I have all my recorded stuff on a NAS drive, so can watch everything (apart from pre-Nowster HDR) streamed from that.

      Raydon 4.1.3 compatibility

      Will my old Nowster patch (disables encryption of HDR) for my old HDR FOXSAT (2012 vintage) work in an HDR FOX-T2? It's not immediately clear if this feature is built into the current custom firmware (the guide only says "...and install the right packages". The guide implies that HDR files will...

      Thanks for your help. It's many years since I visited this forum, so unaware of sections therein.

      Raydon 4.1.3 compatibility

      I have been using Raydon's 4.1.3 firmware for a while with an old Humax HDR recorder, but am in the process of setting up a new system. This will be a FreeView system (i.e. an aerial, not a satellite dish). What recorders should I consider buying (if any) which are still compatible with Raydon's...

      I think you need to be wary of using ftp. I remember reading somewhere that video files don't get decrypted if copied via ftp.

      So, it's back to the sledgehammer! Assuming it's DES (not DES3 - see above), and assuming the key is some sort of 8 character serial number, I am cranking through all possible combinations of integer and upper-case letter (plus ':' and '-'). This is made 'easier' by the fact that only seven bits...

      Yes, I've thought of that if all else fails - connect the hdmi output from the FOXSAT to my laptop. I think windows already comes with a generic video capture utility for recording games.

      My real concern, which started all this off is that my old FOXSAT will not last forever, and I'm looking at ways to recover HD recordings saved to my NAS pre-Nowster.

      My FOXSAT-HDR is now ten years old. Are you saying that nobody is really interested in cracking older models, because there are not so many of them around? I think I am at the stage of "hardware inspection", but finding that difficult. You have already replied to my other post about opkg, so you...

      Sadly, my expertise is very limited. Am I correct in thinking from your post that nobody is actively adding to the FOXSAT-HDR repository?

      An update on my post of the 22nd October... The FOXSAT-HDR appears to have the libcrypt, not the libgcrypt libraries (libcrypt-0.9.28.so) installed. Am I correct in thinking that this allows DES (but not DES3) encryption? This means the key is 8 bytes long giving "only" 2^56 possibilities (the...

      opkg repositories

      I have a FOXSAT-HDR, running Raydon's firmware. This includes the opkg package manager, pointing to the repository at hpkg.tv/foxsat in opkg.conf. I notice that there are more packages designed for the HD(R) FOX T2. Will there be problems if I change the default repository to this site in...

      Towards the end of two unrelated .ts files (one encrypted, the other not) I get the sequences as shown in the attached files. It is therefore highly probable that FF FF FF FF FF FF FF FF maps to C3 47 BA 87 C4 23 CE DB using some variant of MAC address:- dc-d3-21-3c-c7-d2 & s/n:- 637105084007084.

      I don't think it's necessary to have entire encrypted/decrypted versions of the same file. Looking at an encrypted file with a Hex editor, I see the same sequences of 8 bytes repeated many times - e.g. Ü-C#F¿ÁqÜ-C#F¿ÁqÜ-C#F¿ÁqÜ-C#F¿Áq. This can only come from FFFFFFFF... or similar (perhaps...

      Thanks. It was the 'bytes.fromhex' vs 'bytearray.fromhex' issue that I was puzzled by. It works with the former, but throws an error for the latter. Yes, I have Custom firmware V4.1.3. I don't see a diagnostics web page under system information though, but I'm sure the key is correct. MAC...

      Thanks. That's what I thought/feared. I have only recently discovered Nowster and it is now installed, but I have many old HD recordings transferred to my NAS, and fear that I will be unable to play them when my aging Foxsat-HDR eventually dies. Are the encryption algorithms used by the...

      Nowhereman, thank you for your python script. I got it to run under Linux Mint (but had to change 'key = bytearray.fromhex('dcd3213cc7d236333731303530383430')" to "key = bytes.fromhex('dcd3213cc7d236333731303530383430')" ), since it flagged an error. I used the key comprising MAC address plus...
