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.
I wish I had a pound for every time I had read N3 had been cracked. I wouldn't take any bets on it being cracked in three months either. It's been around a while and it's still secure and it is a far more advanced encryption system than N1 and N2. I will stick my neck out and say that the encryption variant VM use will still not be cracked in three years let alone three months.
