Yes, it should be all you need.

Assuming your cable signal level is adequate then the KV box is pretty much plug & play. All you need to do initially is load the latest firmware (may require a PC and serial cable) and then do a scan.

It's rather unlikely they would go through the bother of all that for someone using a bit of cardsharing, especially when there are much easier targets to go for that damage the system far more (modem cloners).

Its also very unlikely VM would want the publicity of admitting their brand new super-duper encryption system is vulnerable in this way.

If VM go after anyone, it will almost certainly be the server operators and, in the case of KV as least, there is no money trail to end clients for server access so its unlikely any clients will be traced that way !

That string theory stuff can be pretty messy to get your head around, especially when you start looping the string !
