Really? No, not really. But it looks like media giants are about to be taken for yet another ride because they just won't learn from their mistakes. Apparently, their latest invention is supposed to make digital television hacker-proof. In a nutshell, it works just like a DSS receiver, but it uses a phone line to update it's software and fix security holes. Now, we all know that even though satellite providers can fix security holes and send down ECMs to damage hacked smartcards whenever they like, that hasn't stopped, nor slowed down the growth of DSS piracy. So what i know is why they think that this new idea of theirs will work. These new smartcards will be just as easy to hack as the DSS ones, but it will be a lot easier to keep them working because the user can just unplug the phone line to prevent the provider from messing around. Let the games begin! Yet again.
