And another totally confusing thread yet again on linuxsat ! if its not the language barrier confusing me it is thread highjackers.
3 members have totally gatecrashed this thread without an apology or even an explanation and i do not know whats what yet again...typical for here it seems.
Anyway...Irdeto are famously known for anti-cs measures and also official card shutdowns from my experience when i was involved in the scene.
Al Jazeera (JSC) Sports official cards and MOSC cards were fried in servers/ emulator dragon cards were also made redundant due to software changes/card upgrades.
Surflock was also integrated into there card system years ago where a maximum of 2 ecm's were allowed per official card in the CS scene and they are the only known smartcard security firm to do this to my knowledge.
I believe Iredto were also the frontrunners in fingerprint technology... and it was simple stuff too... they used a state of the art camera in front of a tv set to view the card serial number that the human eye cannot see..this was after they acquired a line from a payserver so they then knew who was sharing their official cards... NDS and particularly BskyB adopted this technology too and thats why UK sky subscribers back in 2008/2009 were receiving letters stating there subscription was cancelled/ void and they wanted their viewing card back.... changed days now as the security is so advanced with smartcards..
Irdeto was also the first or at least one of the frontrunners to offer providers unique key pairings between receivers and smartcards to prevent CS which is very similar to what we see now on certain NDS providers and CAK7 on certain Nagravision caids.
There was also a thread in the public section on linuxsat recently regarding NOVA being wide open with a certain version of oscam... bollocks i say...its never going to be that easy with unique keys and pairing per receiver/account as i explained above...
I would say you are flogging a dead horse when it comes to irdeto and cs... you could try internal readers in genuine VU+ boxes with specific providers tho...that is worth a shot....
Smargo readers are Notorious for setting incompatibility/ and or user error as s3no has hinted at above.
