[QUOTE="easysat, post: 57207, member: 175305"] These days the CA system in Digiboxes is built into the main MPEG source decoder chip (the big square thing with a few hundred 'legs'). This is used with a Philips TDA8004 card interface chip (or equivalent). On early Digiboxes that I have seen, the CA system appears to be on a separate chip marked BSkyB. These are the boxes with the ST20-TP2 source decoder. Maybe it would be feasible to recuperate one of these BSkyB chips and make it work in another box, but the wiring modifications required would probably not be worth the trouble. [/QUOTE]
