[QUOTE="Benoire, post: 1036950, member: 121281"] I was simply suggesting that the main force behind this UK change, the murdoch group (owners of BSkyB), is no longer part of Sky New Zealand. As far as I understand it, the incentive for this change was security... There was just simply too much card sharing going on across europe. As far as I can tell, there doesn't appear to be any where near the same 'commercialisation' of the sharing market here in NZ unlike the Europe where it was quite easy to find a 'provider' who could supply most of europes satellite channels at 10GBP per month. Now I'm not saying it won't happen, as Sky NZ still use Videoguard 2 by NDS BUT I would imagine the incentives to uproot an entire mysky(+) population to enforce this sort of tech is low bearing in mind it involves swapping out old boxes for new ones. Anywho, I hope DJBlu gets to the bottom of this card problem, not for the sharing aspects as I don't agree with that, but for the continued support of this awesome work as it has allowed me to get rid of a very dumb MySky box.
