[QUOTE="w hole, post: 56, member: 175048"] Hello All Just picked this up: "Canal+ now plans to issue new smart cards that are more resistant to hacking to many of its 12.5 million set-top box deployments throughout 2002, starting its own territories in Spain, where according to Carayol, piracy is most widespread, followed by Poland and Italy and ITV Digital in the UK. The company will conclude its smart card swap with its French and Benelux regions towards the end of 2002. However, NDS claims that the new Canal+ cards are reversed engineered from its competitors' cards. The London-based conditional access firm plans to file a counterclaim once it has had an opportunity to fully review Canal Plus's suit." A. Interesting order or campaign. Not quite what has been forcast. B. Does this mean that C+ have 'pinched' NDS system, and they are suing them over it. If so perhaps they won't be able to introduce it. This gets curiouser and ....
