Nagra 3 Really Is Here (smoking gun)

[dogsdinner]

Well that?s it then, totally 100% official Virgin are going to Nagra 3,have a good look at the script below pulled from one of the new cards by a member off another forum. If that?s not a smoking gun then I don?t know what is.

For those not very Techy,it shows the card is a ROM180,and it also shows Nagra 3 encryption ,of which there is no known crack.

Rom 180 has been worked on for the last 2 years or so in Europe. There are rumours flying around that its hacked and close to being relased as a closed hack. Whilst this may be good news hackers are unlikely going to release how its done if and when they do crack it also it depends on what rev the spanish provider is using.

This is going to destroy sales off new HD Boxes, so if there is a hack out there now would be the time to release it.

(plus I could cancel my Virgin subscription before the engineer gets here to install it)

So much for IPTV, i always said they would more likely go N3 or NDS.

Then got shot down repeatedly by some very knowledgeable people.

I think we will be waiting quite a while till its hacked in the UK.

No mate all boxes will go down if/when the new encryption rolls out.

[hali_boi]

but could they be update once someone has found a fix?

n3 fix

if the chip could handle a n3 emulator then theres no reason why any cable box couldnt handle a fix, im no expert but its just my guess but id say anything like that is a long way off

[dctyper]

it would be able to handle it, its just creating the fix thats the issue

[Bonesy]

well, I have no doubt they wish or will eventually goto n3, however, I of the mind to simply enjoy what I have now..while I have it and I dont think they can roll it out in a year I mean come on its virgin we're talking about with ntl staff

[gmb45]

i will only believe it when or if it happens

[McMav]

Since Leeds is the supposed test area for this have we no members from Leeds who could post up a photo of the N3 stream under channel info????
