[QUOTE="Old Fred, post: 25778"] I don't think Sky can avoid it. They have produced the dark blue card to "prevent certain types of piracy". I doubt if they can disable the old Sky pale blue cards without also disabling the pale blue FTV ones. In other words, the FTV cards will simply be "collateral damage" in the war on piracy. Sky (apparently) don't have the FTV card numbers on their computer system so they can't switch them off individually in the normal way. When they do go off it will be en-masse with all the old cards which will no longer work with the new encryption software. Fred [/QUOTE]
