Unfortunately it’s not going to be sorted. VM are phasing out their smartcards with caid 1850 internally on all decoders including Cisco.
So no card means no cardshare
Just depends if they wanna do this on all channels. Time will tell but I suspect they will.
Some cisco's dont need cards true, but there are other models that have to have a card to work......

jenseneverest No reply from you...not surprised :-)
So whats your plan when you find a box that needs a card to work..... are you going to just pay full price and use the official box ? you wont be doing anything else with it as i dont think you understand the gravity of these new changes VM are doing !
I asked you what vm reciever models require the card ,,sure you might find old pace/samsung sd boxes or maybe scientific atlanta or samsung hd boxes from a decade ago but then what...
I,m not trying to shoot you down and i really do hope your right jensen but nobody from the 00012 area has confirmed any official box works solely with a smartcard...
Not only that,, from what i can gather it looks like the encryption is sent in the 1850 caid through the netid frequency streams anyway so it does not matter what working card you might have at your disposal so any boxes requiring the viewing card will be obliterated and upgraded.
If boxes are being activated without a card and streams are new 1850 caid there is nothing to attack/use so i think its game over but over to you.....
