As both NDS (companies like Sky for a couple of years) and Nagra3 (now used by D+ since December) have both resisted cracking you'd think that VM would jump at the next available chance to upgade to these methods....

In order to change encryption systems Virgin have to simulcrypt for a while. This means that two encryption systems are used in parallel, the Nagra system and the replacement system. Some of Virgins kit is not capable of simulcrypting, so Virgin cannot do this. Eventually the kit will be upgraded so simulcryption can be used, and the new encryption will be rolled out but it will take quite some time for them to send out new smartcards before they then finally turn off the Nagra encryption. It won't happen overnight one night!
