Hopefully when Virgin changes to hosting the stations on a vod style the situation will change.

The thread is still going as it's a point of interest to quite a few people...
Why would a VOD style system work, unless you scrap scheduled systems, but then everyone would have gone that way including sky....
What is needed is for VM to get off thier fat backsides, open up thier wallets and actually change thier encryption system to those proven to be secure.
NDS/Videogaurd and also now Nagra 3 are proven as such with the only people getting past the systems are those who are card sharing (where the initial account holder is put at risk)
What does suprise me especially as cable unlike broadcast sat is a two way system is that they havn't put in a authentication loop back to the central servers ID'ing the box/account/location. Surely a simple cross reference would then inhibit all duplicate boxes or ones not on thier system. Computer games have used this method for years and although people can copy the games they can't play online with them and duplicates keys are soon invalidated on the system.
