Viaccess 4.0 is this the next nail in the card sharing coffin

[gsteigwiler]

Hi all,

I found this on another site detailing the launch of new cards that are going to be provided to new customers of SRG SSR.

I cannot find this information on the official SRG SSR site though to verify this.


SRG wechselt auf Viaccess 4.0
Die SRG SSR idée suisse wird im Neukundengeschäft die Viaccess-
Kartengeneration PC4.0 verwenden. Diese Version beinhaltet verschiedene
Fortschritte in der Verschlüsselungstechnologie gegenüber der Version PC2.6.
Alle Karten der bisherigen Version PC2.6 bleiben unverändert in Betrieb.
Viaccess, die Lieferantin des Verschlüsselungssystems der SRG SSR, lanciert regelmässig
neue Smart-Card-Generationen. Die neuste Version PC4.0 beinhaltet insbesondere
Optionen zur Prävention des illegalen Card Sharing.
Die SRG SSR hat entschieden, für Neukunden zukünftig die Kartenversion PC4.0
abzugeben, nachdem die bisherige Version PC2.6 abverkauft ist. Die Karten der Version
PC2.6 bleiben jedoch unverändert in Betrieb, ein Austausch ist nicht geplant.
Die Simulcrypt-Ausstrahlung (PC2.6 parallel mit PC4.0) über DVB-S beginnt am
24. Februar 2009, 06.00 Uhr.
Die Kartengeneration PC4.0 wurde erfolgreich auf Kompatibilität mit allen
handelsüblichen Viaccess-zertifizierten Receivern, Conditional-Access-Modulen, Kassetten
und IRDs getestet. Erfahrungsgemäss kann es bei nicht zertifizierten Produkten
Empfangsprobleme geben. Sollten Sie mit Ihrem bisherigen Gerät Probleme bei der
Entschlüsselung der TV-Programme der SRG SSR haben, dann setzen Sie sich mit dem
Importeur oder dem Hersteller in Verbindung.
