These "dodgey boxes" that are talked about, they have been around for a long time so I hear, and every time Virgin do whatever it is they do and knock them off, before long they are back up and running. My question is, why is everyone so excited about this now when they maybe up and running again soon? Or is something really being done this time and they won't come back? I am not a "dodgey box" owner, in fact it cheeses me off to think people have got TV for free when I and many others, have to pay! I am not technically in the know about this stuff so please forgive my lack of knowledge in this area.

This is a full encryption change, not just the change of the keys which has been all that's happened previously. As Masque says this new encryption is currently used on the european sats with a larger customer base than VM will ever have and in 3 years it's not been cracked apart from card sharing which isn't a way of breaking the encryption
