Well that sucks..
Where was i?. I was at work trying to make enough money to Buy an Ird.. Good thing the deal im working on includes a Virgin Hu instad of a virgin H.
However not all is lost,..
In the p-4 forum right now there is some good conversation going on about the concept of destributing video keys over the net.. mabey the H could be used to hold the card data with a Hu Bin, then we would just feed the ird the video keys directly.

It's really too bad. Guess the site here will be swamped for the next day or 10, so good luck everyone. Here's hoping you've all done your homework ahead of time.....
There at the beginning and there at the end...makes me all misty eyed actually.....

Reading all about it at the Den. Sad day my friends. Some good might come out of it because all the wonderful testers that had H's and no HU's will concentrate harder on the P4's.

Well, I was completely surprised - I thought the H-data packets would last at least through September. 'Tis a sad day. I'm with Scooby; not sure I'll be able to get through to the site for the next few days. It's been fun, y'all.

Hey, Bob, are you saying you're still getting the 400's (and 375/377) with an H card? Weird.... but good!

I am starting to think this smells like a rumor, I don't know, just a gut feeling. It would be nice to hear from a mod on this.

They are shutting down for sure. Check channels 375-377 and you will get a black screen, then put in your 3mHU and those channels are there...GL

How's that? LOL this is posted up in the Buh Bye H sticky in the P3/H card forum

Well it's been a heck of a ride, it was good until it lasted, good bye my little blue friend, very reliable, made it through BS (emulating) and going strong until the end. :(
I think I'll do like Bone Daddy and I'll bust her out for programming once in a while...
See ya all at quaddawgs trailer for the wake, BYOFC (Bring Your Own Fried Chicken).

Somehow this is easier to cope with(thanks to the HU gurus)than that Sunday when our friend the H went black. It has been quite a ride with updates , bootloaders , and emulators. And with its final passing these cards should not be thrown away. Instead the are now trophys. To be remembered and praised as teachers while we further or own educations..Where was I? Right here with you , friends , free tvers , newbies , oldbies, teachers , moderators and yep even the flamers lol.. It's a good day to remember how far we've come.;)

Its sad to hear all the love and respect you guys have for these poor old cards.
I never owned An H-card, Never loaded script onto it, never grinned as my little plastic card game me free tv..
But i have a deep respect for these cards, Many of the greats in this hobby learned alot from this piece of plastic.
The person from whom i first learned about this hobby got his start with the H.
However this can be viewed as a turning point, More and stronger focus on hacking the P-4, and finding better more exact exploites for the Hu. However im haunted by the feeling i misssed out on the True "joy" of this hobby.
Frame your H cards, Post pictures or your faded battered and beaten cards. Indeed they are medals of honor.
Sucks to have a virgin H card.
