Are you tired of making monthly payments for your TV channels and looking for a way out?  Could you find a loophole to get all channels for free? Let us get working;

How To Hack Dish Network To Get All Channels

Every satellite TV network requires a descrambler or decoder to convert the signal from the satellite into a format that you can watch.

If you want to hack the network to access more channels, then the decoder is what you focus on. Initially, you would need a digital TV Unscramble box to get all the channels.

It is an effective way, but it is illegal and prohibited in some countries since it is a form of piracy.  The advancements in technology have brought about software to help with this. 

The most common way to do this is using the Dtb firmware. You can use it on most of the decoders to unscramble your channels so that you can view them for free. 

The best part is, it is completely legal, but it only works if your decoder has a USB port. 

1. Download the Dtb firmware on your mobile device like cell phone, tablet, or personal computer.
2. The firmware will most likely be in a zipped folder. Unzip it by double-clicking on it.
3. Copy the firmware onto a memory card (SD) or a flash disk.
4. Plug the USB or SD card into the respective port at the back of your decoder.
5. Turn on your decoder the go to settings, and select the option to upgrade from USB.
6. A screen will come up, uploading all the necessary data; allow this process to go all the way through. Do not switch off your decoder.
7. When the process is done, your decoder will restart and scan for the new channels.
8. Once the scan is done, you will get all the channels, and they will work perfectly if you have a good signal. There will be no scrambled channels.

This is a trick that will work on virtually all decoders, including those from Multichoice like DSTV and Startimes, provided they have a USB port. 

How Does Satellite TV Work?

DISH TV uses satellite services to provide television content.  Satellite TV is a kind of TV programming offered wirelessly to customers using a series of communication satellites and radio signals.

Broadcast signals are sent from the satellites in space to the local TV systems, which then distribute them to subscribed customers.

The satellite dish installed at your house is a special antenna that picks up transmissions from the TV systems and redirects them into your TV. 

The satellite dish is a curved surface that is linked to a central feed horn. The dish is used to focus the signal transmitted by the TV systems into a beam and direct it towards the feed horn. 

The service providers will decide what channels you get access to depending on your paid package. You will be denied access to the channels in case you don’t pay for your subscription.

This is done using encryption and decryption of the data. The video goes through a MPEG encoder at the broadcast station. This converts it to a MPEG-4 video of the correct format and size to play on your receiver.

Compression also occurs at this point, removing irrelevant or redundant data to clear the frames. This reduces the size of the file before it is transmitted. The data is then encrypted to keep customers from using it without paying.

Encryption rearranges data so that you cannot view it without being decrypted. The data is then transmitted to the satellite for dispersal. The satellite’s onboard disk will boost the signal and beam it back to earth for viewers.

You can’t view encrypted data without a decryption key; there is a decryption box in your dish system which receives the key to convert the data back into a viewable form. 

When you fail to pay the bill, the provider blocks the decryption box, so it doesn’t receive the key. The channels will all be available but encrypted; you, therefore, will not be able to watch anything, but you will see the list of all channels in your package.

Once you make the payment, the decryption box will start working again, and all channels in your package will be available to you. For security purposes, the decryption key changes with each subscription.
