Mark, <br><br>If you are distributing channels illegally, then provider need only to know the areas you are distributing then they will get their guys on ground(either their team will subscribe to the illegal connections or visit one of the home/hse with sambaza), then will ask office to trigger watermark. <br>
<br>This will display the serial number/smartcard number of the decoder(s) being used to sambaza. Then they will just block them on their Conditional access system. and take any other action (legal mostly). <br><br>So wachana na Sambaza!<br>

The number you seen on your screen is actual the smartcard number or serial number of you decoder. This is called digital watermarking/fingerprinting. <br>


<br>This is purely to fight piracy.<br>
