Sky with new technology against TV piracy

In its ongoing battle against TV pirates, the pay-TV channel Sky has now activated a new technology. This is called "Unique Pairing" and firmly links the receiving device to the respective smart card. The aim is to exclude third-party equipment.

Sky has always been a crackdown on TV piracy, and in some cases it has already had legal successes for the company. However, there are still regular illegal live streams of Bundesliga & Co. on the net. Now Sky has activated the "Unique Pairing" technology, which aims to make piracy more difficult. In the future, TV pirates will have an even harder time offering illegal streams on the internet.

Under the new procedure, the receiver is firmly connected to the respective smart card and will no longer work in third-party devices that are not licensed by Sky. First reported on the measure was "InfoDigital". Opposite the online portal, Sky has confirmed the introduction of "Unique Pairing": "Sky relies on a safe and future-proof technology for the distribution of the transmission signal. In order to further increase our safety standards and comply with licensing requirements, technical changes have been made in recent weeks," a spokesman said.

However, customers who see Sky through one of the cable network operators or Telekom are not affected by the technical changeover. The company confirmed this to DWDL.de on Tuesday. In the future, however, a licensed Sky device will be required to receive Sky. A spokesman for the company said: "Affected customers who have previously used a third-party receiver have already been notified directly. We offer you a current Sky Q Receiver free of charge for rent. Customers who receive Sky through a CI+ module have the option to continue using this."
