Seems to me that oneof the keys to permanently unlocking sat TV is to do away with the vendor's receiver. From my novice perspective, it seems many or most of the attacks against pirate devices are based on the assumption that the pirate must still have a set-top box which is still, indirectly, under control of the service provider (that is its unmodified). What if an affordable software based radio replaced the set-top box and the smart card functionality? It would seem to me that 3M (Three Musketeer) attacks, wherein one or more legal purchasers of the service broadcast in real-time the required stream decryption codes over ICQ/IRQ to all the other SDR boxes. This must have been thought of or already tried. What am I missing Peter?
