I'll be happy to give a donation if the patch works on a Latam UN40B7000!

It's little bit different. We don't sell DTS hack for x platform, we only collect donations to prepare prize for person that allows DTS playback.
So, donations for DTS contest became meaningless after patch has been working on a platform. It's also relatively easy to port it between the TV platforms.

So pay for your hopes, not for the actual product. We don't offer anything for your donations. If you don't count that we already offering much of them for FREE. So It's donation, not fee/price of any thing...
I thought that ~$5000 prize will accelerate DTS hacking.(Not too much money if you think ~70000 users visit here each month.)

For me, don't watch cinema on my TV (really). So don't needed DTS patch. But It's most wanted thing from users. So I wanted to have it. And this is the way that comes my mind. If I have some knowledge / experience on it, I will prepare a hack for just such amount of money at least... ;)
