Personally I usually just take the wife!

You do, if you're using it in a legit STB. But several of the cam emulators can bypass this and emulate the boxkey and let the card recieve updates.

Indeed, but as more alternative routes are being shut down there's a definite shift towards boxes with built in cardsharing that are plug and play. You see some of the Cable ones now coming with it for n3, and there's been a huge amount of satellite stbs released in the past year with it as well. One of the main selling points for them is their inclusion of access to a cardsharing server, which begs the question how they can openly sell them online in the first place.
