[QUOTE="philpem, post: 1143412, member: 415269"] I'm going to be That Guy and point out that pre the P6 issue, they were SGS-Thomson 8048 based cards :D They were the ones people used to cheat by putting sticky tape over the programming voltage pad, until Sky patched the card firmware to check there was a VPP supply and verify EPROM writes. Later cards were EEPROM+ROM based with a 68HC05 (Motorola) or 8051 (Siemens) processor and only needed a 5V supply to write to the memory. [/QUOTE]
