CCD_Patch by Vempire - Release 1 - 29.01.2000

1) Disclaimer

This software is freeware and may not be sold. It should always be distributed in the original format:

one zipped archive containing:
CCD_PATCH.EXE
CCD_PATCH.INI
README.TXT

This software is for cientific usage. It is by itself not illegal to distribute and use this software. It is, however, illegal to watch encrypted TV broadcasts without paying for them.

2) Usage of tis program

This program is for portuguese viewers of cablecrypt encrypted broadcasts. It should be used together with the CABLE CCD software.

CCD has several automatic polarity change routines, but none seems to work properly in Portugal.

That's why I have written this tool. It will substitute the polarity routines of CCD with it's own.

3) How to use

Start CCD as usual, set the channel, tune and align it as usual. Unset automatic polarity ("P" key).

Now run CCD_PATCH.

That's all!

4) What's the CCD_PATCH.INI file for?

It is used for a few settings:

The first line contains the name of the window CCD uses. It is preconfigured for CCD v1.33. If you use another version, just ajust the name.
The next two lines contain the X and Y position of the pixel that is analyzed for the polarity change.
The last line containes the treshold value, above which CCD_PATCH considers a white image, thus sending the "X" command to CCD in order to invert the picture.

5) Comments and questions

Read the CableCrypt FAQ I made some time ago. It is available at FreeTV, where you probably got this tool from.

No further support on this: use your mind and imagination.

Finally a word for all those who have non BT8x8 TV-cards:

NO, THERE IS NO CABLECRYPT DECODER FOR OTHER CARDS. IF YOU HAVE A BT-82X CARD, OR A VIDEO CARD FROM ATI OR WHATSOEVER: THERE IS NO SUCH SOFTWARE AND PROBABLY NEVER WILL BE. BUY A BT848A OR BT878 TV CARD.
