    Default What is a "Goldie" & a "Whitey"??

    Ok I give in, I have been reading many threads on this forum and i can understand most of it, but what are "Goldies" & "Whiteys" and do the come in any other colour??

    I am as newbie as they come and have used the search function without any luck.

    Is there a definitions page for all these new words and concepts.

    Thanks

    Michael

    Goldie and Whitey are different types of wafer cards or blank smartcards .
    Goldie is one of the first wafer cards to have come out and were very popular back when Aussie Pay TV was using Irdeto 1.
    Now the Whitey is being used with some success for Aussie pay TV using Irdeto 2.
    Whats in what
    Goldie has two ICs a PIC16F84A and 24C16 external EEPROM.
    Silver contains PIC16F877 with a 24LC64 EEPROM.
    Emerald has inside the PIC16F628 with a 24LC64 EEPROM.
    Fun cards usually have the AT90S8515A with a 24LC256 EEPROM....
    You can get funcards with larger eeproms.
    The Whitey card , There are two types of Whiteys- The Gammacard and the sellers (pirate) card.
    The gammacard is known to have the AT90SC7272C chip while the sellers card could also have the same chip or the AT90SC6464C chip.
    Hopefully other members can add to this.

    Leroy.

    Thank you for that thought provoking quote, LOL

    I read it late last nght and decided it was easier to go to bed than try and reply to it with a sane comment.

    Thank you all, I am starting to get the idea, but I still have a lot to learn

    Quite educational issue, Dryfry ! You must be a good sat tutor to teach us the newbies of something different, for instance. Please keep up to nice work, mate ! But be caution, as ******* is watching at your back and at our's too, please trust me !

    I'm in Perth where there is no Austar.
    Besides if I want to watch Foxtel I just go to my sister's house. Unless its against their terms and conditions for visitors to not watch the subscriber's foxtel.
    Anyway Selectv is good for me .
