| From the Eye of a Legal Storm, Murdoch's Satellite-TV Hacker Tells All |
| Friday, August 1, 2008 |
SAN DIEGO -- Christopher Tarnovsky feels vindicated. The software engineer and former satellite-TV pirate has been on the hot seat for five years, accused of helping his former employer, a Rupert Murdoch company, sabotage a rival to gain the top spot in the global pay-TV wars.
But two weeks ago a jury in the civil lawsuit against that employer, NDS Group, largely cleared the company -- and by extension Tarnovsky -- of piracy, finding NDS guilty of only a single incident of stealing satellite signals, for which Dish was awarded $1,500 in damages.
"I knew this was going to come," Tarnovsky says. "They didn't have any proof or evidence."
The trial was years in the making, yet raised more questions than it answered. It came down to testimony between admitted pirates on both sides who accused each other of lying. Now that it's over Tarnovsky, who was fired by NDS last year, is eager to tell his side of the story.
Dressed in loose jeans, flip-flops and a T-shirt, Tarnovsky, 37, spoke with Wired.com by phone and in an air-conditioned lab in Southern California where he's been running a consultancy since losing his job. Surrounded by boxes of smart cards and thousands of dollars worth of microscopes and computers used for researching chips, he talked excitedly at lightning speed about his strange journey, which began in a top-secret Pentagon communications center, and ended with him working both sides of a heated electronic war over pay TV.
His story sheds new light on the murky, morally ambiguous world of international satellite pirates and those who do battle with them.
The stakes are high: Earnings in the satellite-TV industry reach the billions. In the first quarter of this year alone, U.S. market leader DirecTV announced revenue of $4.6 billion from more than 17 million U.S. subscribers. Dish Network earned $2.8 billion from nearly 14 million subscribers. Although satellite piracy has greatly diminished from its peak seven to 10 years ago when the events detailed in the civil lawsuit took place, the two companies lost millions in potential revenue, and spent millions more to replace insecure smart cards used in their systems and track down dealers selling pirated smart cards.

| Featured Satellite: AsiaSat-2 |
|
With new offices on the 19th floor in the Sunning Plaza in Hong Kong, as of April of this year, AsiaSat’s AsiaSat-2 satellite targets customers in Asia and Australasia, the Middle East, and Europe. Offering multilingual and multicultural broadcast services, the satellite packs 24 C- and 9 (linearized) Ku-band transponders. n 2008, AsiaSat celebrates their 20th anniversary, having been established in 1988. Their first satellite, AsiaSat-1, was launched in April of 1990 and was the first Asian private, regional satellite, pioneering satTV broadcasting in the Asia-Pacific region. Currently, the company offers three pan-Asian satellites, with AsiaSat-5 already under construction and set for launch in 2009. AsiaSat-5 will replace AsiaSat-2 when on orbit. The AsiaSat-2 satellite was built by Lockheed Martin Astro Space on their Series 7000 bus and was launched on November 28th in 1995 from Xichang, China, aboard a Long Mark 2E rocket.With global connectivity support, there’s instantaneous access to Asian terrestrial TV stations, cable networks, payTV platforms, and hospitality venues. The Pan-Asian C-band footprint spans an area ranging from Russia to New Zealand and from Japan to the Middle East and parts of Africa. Customers need only a small, C-band dish receiver sized from 1.8-meters. The company’s satellites are monitored and controlled 24x7x365 from state-of-the-art control facilities: Stanley Earth Station and the Tai Po Earth Station, located at the Tai Po Industrial Estate in the New Territories of Hong Kong. The latter station is the newest and consists of a 5,711 square meter, two-level building with four 7.3-m, one 11.3-m, and one 6.3-m antennas.
Services offered include broadcast, telecommunications, VSAT network, multimedia and Internet, digital platforms (via MCPC-DVB platforms and partners in Cyprus and Israel) and occasional services, such as SNG (Satellite News Gathering). The service providers on AsiaSat for multimedia and Internet services include BtNAccess, REACH, and SpeedCast. As AsiaSat’s Chief Executive Officer, Peter Jackson, states at the company’s website, “Looking ahead, AsiaSat would continue to uphold our commitment to service quality, integrity and diversity to meet the growing and changing demands for satellite services in the years to come.”
And, just recently, AsiaSat was contracted by Eurovision to supply multiple transponders on AsiaSat 2 during the Beijing Olympic Games, being conducted from August 8th through the 24th. AsiaSat will play a key role in delivering Eurovision’s live TV coverage of the event in HD format to the the world. Eurovision has been using AsiaSat-2 as part of its global network since 1999 to transmit regular and ad hoc live video contribution and distribution feeds to its members and customers between Asia, Australasia, and Europe. These include the latest coverage of premier sports events such as the UEFA Champions League, top European national football leagues, Grand Slam Tennis and Motor Sports. |

| About TV Satellite |
| Saturday, April 21, 2007 |
A satellite is any object that orbit another object. Satellites can be spacecraft manufactured on Earth and sent into orbit on a launch vehicle, they may be naturally occurring such as moons, comets, stars, planets, and even galaxies.
Satellite television is television delivered by way of communications satellites as compared to conventional terrestrial TV and cable TV. In many areas of the world satellite television services supplement older terrestrial signals, providing a wider range of channels and services, including subscription-only services.
The first satellite television signal was relayed from Europe to the Telstar Satellite over North America in 1962. Satellite television, like other communications relayed by satellite, starts with a transmitting antenna located at an uplink facility. Uplink satellite dishes are very large, as much as 9 to 12 meters (30 to 40 feet) in diameter. The increased diameter results in more accurate aiming and increased signal strength at the satellite. The uplink dish is pointed toward a specific satellite and the uplinked signals are transmitted within a specific frequency range, so as to be received by one of the transponders tuned to that frequency range aboard that satellite. The transponder 'retransmits' the signals back to Earth but at a different frequency band (to avoid interference with the uplink signal), typically in the C-Band(4–8 GHz) and/or Ku-Band(12–18 GHz). The leg of the signal path from the satellite to the receiving Earth station is called the downlink. |
