why is it so hard to hack nds videoguard?

[slybox]

i have got a valid sky subscription but i want to use a different satellite box other than the sky digibox, i just want to know this, why is it so hard to hack or crack the codes for nds videoguard when other encryptions has been cracked so easily, whats so different about nds encryption? i don't want to do anything illegal here because i am paying sky 40 pounds a month for my subscribed channels but all i want to do is get sky on my fta receiver which is technomate tm-1000 d super, this box is much more faster and much better than any other sky box. there must be some way of decrypting the codes for nds. i also want to know about this nds logger what exactly does it do?

i don't want to do anything illegal here

Of course you don't.
Sky is just as easy to hack as all the other encryption systems
you have hacked over the years, and of course you can use
your FTA IRD for encrypted SKY channels, go ahead and just do it. After all you payed £79.00 for the danm thing, right ?
But the technomate tm-1000 d super has blind scan so you must turn that off
otherwise the IRD will not see the codes.
Your paying 40£ a month provides you with the right to do
any hacking you wish,if I read the SKY contract correctly (?).
Can't see any problem there m8.
The NDS logger reads all the keys from SKY and sets them
into book form for easy latenight reading.

Sarcasm in the air?

Do you have air where you are ?

if i can get my subscribed channels on my technomate receiver then would i also get teh premium channels that i am paying for? and how would i be able to turn off the blind scan? when i scanned for the channels i didn't use the blind scan feature i just went to satellite setup, selected what satellite i want to scan and just pressed scan, i also selected a feature called network search.

how do i exactly use the NDS logger with the technomate?

icecave89: Do you have air where you are ?

i don't understand what you mean

[icecave89]

The trouble with sarcasm /a form of wit/ is sometimes
it's taken for truth.
Now here's the truth, m8 (your remark just reminded me
of remarks on USENET in 1994-5 (?) when SKY changed to
an unhackable card)

Sky spends more than most companies on card/IRD security and NDS uses all possible means to intimidate hackers from
making anything public about what they may find about the system.
So the answer is no, you can't use your IRD for sky,
you can use a DreamBox and Relook /both LINUX IRD's/
to read your SKY card, and if you network them you can
watch it on your PC or DreamBox#2. I would not say
the DreamBox or Relook are any better than a Sky Digibox
as far as speed is concerned.
Forget the Blind scan remark /more misguided wit/....
NDS logger is used on the DreamBox, and is useless, unless
you know quite a bit about videogaurd encryption.

basically i am fed up of my sky box because it just gives too much problems, and i dont want to spend more money on a new box, what i have got is the technomate and i want to be able to watch my sky channels on that box. people should be able to make a choice in what receiver suits them like choosing a tv or dvd player.

[slybox]

if there is any way of using my card on the technomate then i would use it but you can't get any cams for technomate 1000 d super that can read sky cards. is there any way of modifying the technomate so that i can watch the nds encrypted channels?
