Keys for satellite TV are conditional combinations of numbers and letters that allow the satellite receiver emulator to decode conditionally encoded channels in BISS encoding. The key is entered into the receiver using special menu sections. We have already shown how to enter the key using the U2C B6 receiver as an example; you can view the instructions here.
We are constantly working to update the satellite bis keys, which is presented here; the frequency of updating the keys is as they change or new ones are released.

BISS keys in 2021
In satellite television there are open channels and encrypted ones. BISS signal encoding is the most common and simplest, so finding keys for it on the Internet for free is not as difficult as it might seem.
A television signal is encoded for various reasons, but the main one is financial benefit. For example, encoding is used when providing paid services or when a TV channel does not have copyright to show a film or TV show. Some TV tuner models have emulators - programs capable of decoding; in other words, they unblock paid channels. BISS keys continue to be in demand in 2021, despite the increasing spread of online cinemas for Smart TV.
BISS key is used to watch paid channels for free, without having to buy a subscription card or subscription. This is a static code consisting of sixteen consecutive characters. In the early stages of development of satellite television technology, this system had to generate access keys for users who paid for a package of channels. Very soon, emulators appeared on the Internet to bypass the blocking, and they still work.
Most television companies use this particular encoding system in 2021. Databases with BISS keys are constantly updated, and if previously it was difficult to find the keys, now there are many portals that provide access to the keys for free.
Where to find current BISS keys
There is an unlimited number of BISS keys on the Internet at the request “current BISS keys” for all satellite operators. However, you can find codes for specific TV channels of interest; to do this, you should create a request of this type: biss key for “TV channel name”.
Another effective way to find keys is to register and be active on thematic forums, the activity of which is quite high. In addition to the current codes, you can discuss issues related to this topic there, as well as learn about the advantages and disadvantages of a particular tuner model. You can often get help there if something doesn’t work out.
In application stores on smartphones you can find specialized applications that allow you to track the appearance of new codes. However, the application developers themselves add the keys, so this method is inferior in efficiency to the previous one.
How to unblock channels?
Don't know how to find an emulator on your set-top box? Usually it is located in the settings menu, or in the games section. For example, consider the ARION prefix. In the settings there is a section called “Edit key”. If it is not there, then the next step is to press the “menu” button and go to the page asking for a password.
Then you should select one of the possible key encodings, depending on the device model they may differ, the most common are Viaccess, BISS, Nagravizion, Mediaquard, Cryptoworks, Irdeto. In this case, we are interested in BISS.
In order to unlock a specific channel, you should select it and press the corresponding button on the remote control; it differs for different models. In the parameters window that opens, the channel characteristics are entered:
- polarization.
- longitude.
- width.
- direction.
It is not necessary to enter BISS keys manually. Almost all modern tuner models provide the ability to remove blocking by installing a special settings package. We are talking about the firmware, just update it on the device, and the program will do everything automatically. All you have to do is enjoy watching encrypted channels for free! Our website team tries to monitor the release of current versions of keys and firmware. As updates are released, we publish them in the appropriate sections, so it won’t be difficult to find a version for your tuner. Enjoy watching!
How to enter BISS KEY
The method for entering the code depends directly on the tuner/receiver model and software. There is no universal way to add it, so you need to find a menu that has the ability to add a BISS key.
Some tuner models provide the ability to enter the emulation system using a combination of numbers:
- 7010;
- 4100;
- 9976;
- 9339;
- 9766.
You can try this method, if it doesn’t help, then to simplify the process, you can use the Internet, find a specific receiver model and follow the simple instructions to get to the menu.
One of the detailed instructions
After you have managed to get to the appropriate menu, you need to find a submenu where you can edit the keys. It may be called “Add/Edit Key” or “Edit/add key/keys”, you should select this item.
Next, you will enter the code itself in the appropriate field, in addition to the key itself, sometimes the system may require frequency and ID, these should also be entered.
The last step is to save the code in the emulator. This usually happens by clicking the "OK" button. However, some receiver models may differ slightly; for example, you will have to use the arrows to select “Save”. In general, this point should not create significant problems.
Once the entry process is completed, you can continue to enter existing keys or enjoy watching the TV channel.
Problems with input arise extremely rarely, since this instruction, although it does not contain specific advice (for this you need to know the exact model of the receiver), it can be called universal with an asterisk. Most people manage to enter the keys themselves, without the help of specialists.
Sometimes the provider may change the channel frequency, for example, when the broadcast is moved to another satellite. In this case, the BISS code will also change. You will have to wait until the key for the desired TV channel becomes publicly available.

GOOD LUCK FRIENDS!
Why do I need them?
The simplest answer is to watch encrypted channels without a paid subscription card.
Although, contrary to the simple answer, the main argument immediately becomes - relevance for 2021!
There will be an article about this, but I’ll immediately note that BISS keys are used for channels that are less or more uninteresting and of little demand.
But this is my, purely personal opinion.
Today, almost every modern satellite tuner provides the ability to enter biss keys. And this is nothing more than illegally decoding satellite channels!
If the tuner software has an emulator, then the keys to the encrypted channels you are interested in can be stored here. The keys in the emulator are collected in the appropriate encodings; the list of encodings can reach a dozen. Entering BISS into the emulator is implemented differently in different tuner models.
A few words about the essence of BISS
As we have already found out, to decode the signal on the receiver, you need to enter the BISS key.

Receiver encoding emulator
All satellites, as a rule, have a list of many free channels that are available to everyone and can be viewed without using additional cards or tariffs throughout Russia. But the catch is that a regular receiver will naturally be enough to watch such channels. And to watch other pay TV channels, of course, you will need better equipment, such as a new receiver and cards, since the encodings on pay channels are much more complex and secure.
Just in those very cases when you don’t want to spend money on improving the receiver or purchasing additional elements of the satellite system for the new year, emulators come along. After all, it is precisely the receiver encoding emulator that allows you, using third-party programs, to simulate a card that opens channels and support encodings that a real physical receiver may not be designed for.
Also, using an emulator and some receivers, you can even support several different encodings simultaneously. So, with proper configuration, even with the help of not the most powerful resources, you can get a fairly good result, which will help you watch many channels at once, more than 90, available in a variety of packages for a variety of keys.
