"Secure" isn't really the term I'd use.
Cardsharing is going to get a massive rise in popularity, there isn't currently a system that isn't vulnerable to it, and people will start to wonder why they ever bothered with their dodgy cable boxes in the first place.
The upfront cost will make people think twice, but the ones that turn to it (or see it in action at their mates) will never look back. Sure there's is a fair learning curve above "plug in a box and it'll work", but even that element is going to cardsharing now as well with several boxes being sold with built in connections to a cardsharing server. Hell you can get a motorised dish with a box that's plug and play cardsharing for <£250 that will open up more than enough packages to keep most people happy, including access to 3-4 3pm kick offs on a saturday, and lets be honest, most people with dodgy boxes are in it for the sports. Those that want the UK channels will likely be happy to pay for a payserver which will give then full Sky HD package for peanuts.
