      Virgin have Nagra 3 in the Pipeline!


      Virgin Media have applied a code update which has crippled cable boxes across the country which were used for receiving cable TV illegally.

      Cable boxes affected include the Eurovox, Nokia Dbox, Starview and Kryptview.

      Users receiving cable TV illegally receive the error message ?Please wait?code been updated? and no channels can be accessed.

      According to industry analyst Ian Waller, ?The change is causing false keys to be recorded on a ROM7 update, usually only 1 or 2 characters are wrong, this has been happening on ROM10 and ROM11 updates for the last year. A genuine card can handle the change, an emulator can not.?

      Virgin Media applied a similar change around a year ago, and it took almost a week for firmware updates for chipped boxes to keep pace.

      However, from reports coming in the changes by Virgin may not be a simple one off event, but instead being applied on a daily basis.

      Although updates are available on the internet which try to keep track of the changes, if the code changes are being implemented on a daily basis this could make it very difficult for firmware updates to keep track.

      The result would be a victory for Virgin in their battle against cable piracy, and an end to the widespread use of cable boxes for receiving illegal free cable TV.
      On another note, Virgin is preparing the launch of Nagra Vision version 3 smart cards to further enhance network security for its Cable TV customers. These new smart cards will increase the encryption capabilities of the existing set top boxes and introduce new features for blocking access to non paying customers and enhanced "On Demand" security. It is rumoured that Virgin is planning to issue all customers with new smart cards as part of a "self install" policy. Watch this space for more information as soon as its available.
