[QUOTE="davemurgtroyd, post: 842904, member: 319227"] With regard to the swap out of old boxes the whole problem is down to the current software on the Thomson and all SD boxes is by OpenTV. The contract with OpenTV via NDS has been cancelled and at present Sky are paying a licence fee to OpenTV to continue using the software for mainly encryption purposes but they will not have the rights to modify that software for the next version of the NDS encryption software which will then only run on the latest Darwin/Picasso software which is only on the latest non Thomson HD+ and non PVR HD boxes. It is assumed that when the encryption changes that all SD and Thomson HD+ boxes will only then work as FTA recievers - not even as FreesatFromSky or PVR boxes. One of the changes on the current encryption that appears to be happening is that cards will not only be linked to the serial number of the box but also the unique Receiver ID number (now visible in System Details) which appears to be a measure to stop cards working in non Sky receivers and cut back on card sharing.
