Pirate software released for Titanium cards is reportedly descrambling the Spanish PPV platform Taquilla. The revised Seca 2 encrypted Taquilla 1-10 channels, which form part of the Digital+ platform on the Astra 1 satellite position, are reported to be available on pirate cards since the 6th May. Software supporting the descrambling of these channels is available freely on the internet.
Broadcasters switched to the "more-secure" version 2 variant of the Seca/Mediaguard encryption system to combat mass-piracy. Broadcasters such as Canal+ were suffering from a huge scale of piracy using Seca 1, with wide-spread availability of "blank" smartcards that could be programmed via remote in the Common Interface menu - allowing users to access 100s of pay-TV channels without any programming knowledge.
Reports also reveal that keys for the Russian NTV+ digital platform are also freely available on the internet, using the version 2 variant of Viaccess on Eutelsat W4 at 36.0°E. It seems the chase to combat piracy will be ever-lasting, with official subscribers faced with continued hardware and smartcard exchanges.
