They are known as , and have been described as " gamma cards " and " seller cards ". I am not defining them as either , just stating what people are/have been calling them.

You would probably be better off posting a wanted to buy ad in the Buy Sell Trade section here if you are after one as there are many expired non working cards out there.

No worries sanity...

Is there any indication that whiteys will be up and running again??? Coz i did hear a rumour 2 weeks ago that they were runinng...

There is a guy on ebay selling ''gamma cards" ready to go.



Is the whitey????????

Lol , $160 ? Yikes.

Ready to go with what ? If someone manages to get them going , they will just die again. They have shown how easy it is to shut them down.

Those who know nothing more than "it's called whitey, ask for it and you'll find it" are exactly the kind of people targeted by scammers and by hundreds of laymen trying to recover losses from past mistakes.

There are people who are highly knowledgeable about cars who are able to do their own service work and save money. Uninformed laymen cannot expect to get the same result by buying a "DIY kit", whether it be for $150 or $500. Similarly, those who are highly knowledgeable about computers or hi-fi equipment are able to source components for a fraction of the price of equivalents at consumer retail outlets. satman007 with respect you are not in those categories, so when you hear conflicting stories from different sources who all appear to be technical experts, the question you should be asking is not "does it work" but "how can I trust you".

Suppose I have a dozen pirate gamma cards that I bought twelve months ago, two never worked, eight used to but are now non-functional, and two still do. I want to recover my investment. When you see me advertising "whiteys good to go" for $150 which do you think I'm selling? When you see me advertising "whitey one left $500" which do you think I'm selling? Did you ask how many receivers I have in my home? Did you know that I'd rather give my working ones to mates in return for their skills than sell them to unknown buyers who are potentially fraud investigators?

Indeed, keep your hands in your pockets. There are more fools among buyers than among sellers.

Thanks gw1, you have been a great source of info!!

So with your expertise & knowledge, are the whiteys ever going to work again?? I have a strong SRT 4653x box sitting collecting dust, can I use it for something else, coz i know that select tv was working at one stage. So im sort of stuck, id appreciate it if you could give me some advice gw1.

cheers....

Use it for FTA on Optus D1, or surfing, or Optus C1 Aurora. It probably works still works with SelecTV subscription card too, though I haven't checked.
