Dear visitors, this article is no longer relevant. Hustler TV stopped broadcasting on the parameters below on August 20, 2013.
After the change of encoding of popular adult channels Hustler (PG) and Blue Hustler (PB), satellite TV enthusiasts have had a huge number of questions about this. As it turned out, these channels are among the most popular among the general population.
We have already written earlier that unfortunately, Hustler channels can no longer be watched on the familiar Astra 4A (Sirius) 4.8°E satellite, where these channels have been broadcasting for a long time with cracked Cryptoworks encoding. This encoding is now permanently disabled, and instead, the channels are protected from unauthorized viewing by the reliable, uncracked Viaccess PC 4.0 encoding. Therefore, flashing or changing the receiver will not lead to the desired results.
The only option is to add an additional converter to the satellite dish, tuned to the standard bundle of three popular satellites (Astra/Sirius 4A, HotBird, Amos).
The additional head should be tuned to receive the satellite signal from the Astra 1M 19.2°E satellite. Thus, the converter should be located slightly to the left of the head receiving HotBird 13.0°E.
On the Astra 1M 19.2°E satellite, Hustler TV is still broadcasting in Cryptoworks encoding. Therefore, to watch Hustler, you need to correctly "catch" the satellite, scan it on the tuner and correctly enter the corresponding key into the receiver emulator. For this, we would advise you to contact specialists in satellite equipment setup.
In addition to Hustler TV, there are many other interesting channels on this satellite, but their broadcasting is in foreign languages.
There is no information on how long the PG channel will be available from this satellite.
