    Thats why I said its not really a hack How has nagra 3 been "partially broken"
    Lose your memory sticks? Forget to backup? Why not get 2GB of free space online, and I get 250MB too

      If anyone has hacked N3, does anyone really honestly think they will sit there and hold onto it, rather than do something with it and make money....

      They do the hack to make money, thats it really, so as soon as its broken you will see fake cards, programmers etc, then it will be release into 'soft' format.

      As far as I know there is no hack, and CS is not hacking. N3 can be shared through different cams, and SkyItalia is still watchable.

      No doubt the new cards are N3 and rom180, it wont be long before they are sent out, 6 months tops I reckon.

      ND$ hasnt been hacked, and N3 is on the lines of this. It has been around for 2 years, and sitll no news. I suppose CS will be the next thing for cableTV, as that will share costs amongst subscribers. Although if you get your BB off the tv supplier, they can now monitor your traffic.

              V88g8n plans Yorkshire smart card swap

              Monday, October 26 2009, 17:15 GMT

              By Andrew Laughlin, Technology Reporter
              V88g8n plans Yorkshire smart card swap

              V88g8n Media has confirmed plans to start sending out new smart cards to its cable TV customers in parts of Yorkshire.

              Letters have been sent out today by the firm to V88g8n Media households in Leeds, Bradford, Harrogate and York informing them about planned upgrades to their service.

              Over the next few weeks, these customers will receive new smart cards which must be installed in their set top boxes to receive the latest updates on the TV platform.

              Last week, V88g8n launched a short instructional video about how to change smart cards, which led to rumours of a national card swap. However, the exchange is purely localised to parts of Yorkshire.

              V88g8n Media executive director of customer service Mark Davidson said: "All of our customers in these areas should soon receive their new TV smart cards, as well as straightforward step-by-step instructions on what they need to do. It's as simple as replacing their existing card with a new one.

              "What this means though is that we can begin to bring even more fantastic content and different ways of experiencing it to our customers. We are uniquely well positioned to shape the way in which we watch TV and we want our customers to join us as we develop the TV of tomorrow."

              The cable operator also claimed that the current disruption to Royal Mail postal service will not impact on the smart card delivery process.

                    Smart card - -Leeds

                    My new v**gin smart card arrived this weekend - not really sure from the discussions on this forum whether this is a 'normal' upgrade or start of the Nag 3 encryption. In short if I install it will it put an end to my Starview days?

                      What does it say on the back of the card?

                        It says Nagravison - then letter N under that - the rest is routine instructions, chip and barcode
