I really doubt that after such a short period of time on this latest card, what is your source?
Hopefully you will not say 'someone at the pub last night'

Sky Italia are testing NDS4, they were the first to move to NDS3. Perhaps what you have heard concerns that rather than Sky UK

Sly UK are already on P4 (the new white card). They skipped P3 after using the P2 for such a long time.

No they're not. They are running on CAID 0963 which is NDS3. NDS4 has not completed testing yet and so has not been used at all on general release sub cards.

The card version is identified by the ROM version which can be read from the card using INS 02.

The first digital card (CAID 0960) was ROM version 01 = P1
The second card (CAID 0961) was ROM version 02 = P2
The current card (CAID 0963) is ROM version 04 = P4

You can see that CAID 0962 (rom version 03 = P3) has not been used.

The "publically assigned names" such as NDS1, NDS3 etc. are irrelevent and misnomers.

HTH
Happy New Year to everyone!

Each Rom is not a differant revision of an encryption. There's loads of differant rom's used on Kudelski's Nagravision 3, 2 examples being rom142 and rom180, they are still nag3. If they had released NDS4 in the UK already, they would not now be testing it in Italy, they would know it works and would only require a small test to ensure there were no complications with the very small differances between the UK and IT systems.

I did notsay it was.

In the NDS case there are many subtle differences in card protocols between rom versions and between country versions.
For example, you cannot equate Italy P2 with UK P2 - although they are similar (same INS B0, INS B3 etc) the supported INS list is different.

It is a fact that Sky UK are now using P4 (their official terminology). Whether you want call that NDS3, NDS4 or anthing else - really does not matter.

The question raised at the start of this thread is "when the next card version is to be released?"

I have no idea, but as a substantial cost is involved I would not have thought soon. My point is, that it will be officially known as P5 (unless they skip another version). No doubt in the public domain it will be called something else. As the current version is known as "NDS3" , if the new camcrypt (card pairing algorithm) is substantially different from the current one, the new card will probably be called "NDS4"

As I said before these labels "NDSx" are not really helpful. It is more accurate to refer to each card type by their actual rom version, P1, P2, P4 and qualify this by also stating the country, UK, IT etc.

I can't see them doing a full card swap out in all honesty even if a new card was available.

Theres no point due to the costs involved. If anything they will more than likely follow Sky Italias lead and jsut issue the newer cards to new subscribers or people who need replacements cards.

The new Sky Italia version using caid 09cd can be shared anyway so i can't really see the point in all honesty of Sky UK changing to a newer encryption to stop CS if its already known that certain emus can already read and decode from that card.

thats a really interesting point. as things develop with sky italia the fundamental point is that the channels remain open. so maybe some users will be affected if one avenue gets closed down but the reality is that for total closure both channels would need to be cut

somehow i think card sharing help them in a way to have profite like last year ,with Digital+ in spain we think that card sharing boosted the full package subs (aroung 85€ per month) pack including HD , no way ppl would pay this money if there was no sharing specialy in this hard times ..its strange but real ..regards

Blimey he must have been going back to the days when Sky Italia were using SECA as an encryption method before they switched over to NDS :D

I had a phone call from Sky (not quite sure it was them) confirming some details like box type 'because they are sending out a new card'.
We will see what happens.

Please moderate your language on the forum - we have folks of all ages on here.

You can always stick a new card in it - any activated card will give you the 6 mix & ftv channels. If you want the movies & sport the card needs to be paired.
