They really aren't helping themselves.

The CAM is just an interface to the encryption system, it's the smart card which is the key so to speak so that's why the cards got changed.

Every NDS installation is different - no two sites ever use exactly the same encryption method, thats why smartcards used in America are useless in the UK for example.
When NDS decided to change the encryption new software was put into the STB's, ntl at the time also had to put new software onto all of their digital recievers to cope with the Sky encryption system change. NDS certainly changed the Sky encryption system, and no doubt will do sso again at some point in the future.
Also you said earlier NDS only supply encryption to News Corp companies, again thats wrong have a look here at their customers - http://www.nds.com/customers/customers.html |
mate you clearly dont know how cable works. at the head ends the channels are received (from Sky in VMs case) & then rebroadcast on VMs network. for what you said to work we would need two CAMs both Videoguard & Nagravision & what would be the point in that ? it would make more sense if we only had Videoguard CAMs in that case.
