If you take a typical smart card, the entitlement to the packages viewed are based on a PBM hex value which acts as a filter, generally the keys for the packages are the same but modifying what is filtered and what is not changes the number of channels available to view. Usually only the PPV has a
differing key value... So I guess I was asking how true a copy was the dragon cam - whether it also copied the PBM value or just allowed all..
If it was the latter having a subscription based upon just News and Documentaries or Music, is cheaper than the family package but theoretically would be able to see all the family package for the lower cost..
I guess only some decent key logging would reveal if this was the case, but I'm reluctant to play with my sky card in case I kill it.. I couldn't extract much info from the old cards - not my field - I guess we need to speak with one of the russian maths geniuses who would know a bit more about this topic
...
Anyway thanks again... I may consider purchasing one just to play with...
Although still I'm interested and it raises a further question.. What about card sharing - does it work? ie one card in digibox original, and shared with the hummy + dragon cam... ? do you know - have you tried?...
