Only thing VM can do is change the Nagra 1 encryption used to say Nagra 3 even then it has been hacked on the continent. Mind you if updating to this encryption coupled with a firmware update would speed up my shonky Samsung 2100 then
. But a change in encryption will be costly to a company already 4.3 billion in the red as new cards would be required to be sent out at a cost and also the N3 encryption would cost them also. I would also think there would be the hassle to the normal subscriber as cards and boxes need to be paired so they could get some very angry customers if 1 their card does not turn up/is not paired correctly with their box. It also depends if they think it will actually increase revenue enough to make it worthwhile or if these people who take the signal atm and are on a basic subscription would move over to sky if they are forced to pay for TV as atm Sky has the best HD content available to watch (excluding On Demand from VM)
