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.

Never used it in a CS role but I've had a DVB-S reciever for the last 3 years that although doesn't come out of the box CS ready is very easily imaged for decrypt and CS (share and server) by the use of a simple 3rd party image file It's a Relook Mutant which uses a linux based firmware and I mainly got it as it has an ethernet port that allows me with another 3rd party image to use it as a stream to PC as well as Stream from PC (like my KISS dvd player also does)
So the systems are not exactly new but I do agree that this N3 release will push more and more people towards that end of the market.. Let's hope that VM takes a stance of actively finding the servers and taking direct action to thier removal from the internet. (at least with CS they can hunt them down unlike dodgy boxes)
