Not saying that I condone it at all, I happily pay for my V+ service but thinking Nagra 3 will prevent chipped boxes is just incorrect. The current boxes may stop working but I give it 3-6 months tops after full nationwide rollout that a new box is available.
The are plenty of these stories around and apart from card sharing it is just fairy stories because if it had happened then the USA would have it cracked as well.

Believe what you want but the are plenty of thieves out there that have lost their stolen services because of the rollout by Virginmedia and many of the sellers are desperate to unload their stock before it all goes belly up.

I rather doubt that any crack will suddenly appear just because the UK has got NAGRA3 as we are only a small player in a large pond with regards to Digital Television.
