Like I said, when Virgin do change the encryption they will send new software to the STB's which will enable them to work with the new CA, very likely to be a new iteration of Nagra. Hopefully this time they won't use the same cards available in other parts of the country. From memory I think it was Nagra ROM10 and ROM11 which were first opened up in Spain/South America and people in the UK used the same methods on the same cards in the UK.

yep im not having ago but it wasnt me that tried to say that VM STBs use both Videoguard & Nagravision (they dont).

However on side note we do have differentiate what is serrious offences such as chipped dodgy boxes and not paying for it to VM I would say this the main issue many would be angry.
I would think if some perpetrators just use TV tuner card to computer. That would be to me minor offence if they already have suscribed service and want those subscribed channels on the tuner card or even be part of media centre.
I have DVB-C tuner in my TV. I would love this to tune to subscribed channels and work in tandem with the freeview box with channels what are not broadcasted on VM (sky three) etc.
To me this would be convenience but it would be technically illegal if managed to do it. But again I consider this a minor infringement as you already subscriber.

mate most ppl who have dodgy receivers pay for the cheapest VM TV package, so from what your saying what their doing is ok cuz they'v paid a subscription.
