I know Virgin use Nagra, I said in my post. I also used to work with the encryption for Virgin. However you are wrong that the STB's will need replacing. At worst it will have to be a different version of Nagra (most likely), but I'm sure a code drop to the STB's will allow any different encryption system to be used with the embedded CAM. Remember all of the complexity is in the smart cards and the rooms within the Super Headends not the CAM.
