HELP!! Best box/method to receive encrypted channels
1) Semi Humour - The best way is to subscribe. If you choose to use other methods you have the problem of cas updates/countermeasures etc.
2) Semi Serious - The reality is Nagra3/4 is approaching so any money spent on boxes now should be on the assumption that you will get a maximum of about 3 months out of it (meybe longer but I would not count on it). Now this then leaves you only one way to get channels - subscribe.
Now you may all go on about cardshare etc. but the pairing system on N3 is more complex which makes use of RSA encryption to securly transmit a series of numbers, of which an IDEA hash is made and used as a session key.
Most of the card sharing systems on satellite are based on the RSA keys been the same as the N2 cards when the provider used N2. We are at a disadvantage in that we don't have N2 cards to open.
The reality is whichever route you go now, sometime after xmas you will either be subscribed or without cable TV.
The future of N3 hack is not looking bright at the moment, with the experts on the sat scene having had it for 2 years+ now and there is still no public hack for N3. Glitching has proven to be hazardous due to brownout detection, checksums during the bootup on eeprom (if you accidently gltich these you end up with a dead card). The ROM180 I consider to be N4 rather than N3 as the entire N3 code has been ported from an ST19 processor a new secure ATmel processor - how this responds to glitching is unknown, but I doubt they would make such a move which would make glitching easier.
