FWIW, someone on A l s a t said yesterday that Prem released an announcement that they aren't moving to NDS, and will be honouring their agreement with Kudelski(?) and N3.

N3 has more chance of being compromised than Videoguard, that's for sure.

At a guess robbo, how long before n3 is compromised ? Im just trying to get an idea of whats going on the sat scene. A wild guess will do

I haven't got a clue.

Cabo went to N3 months ago, and no sign of that yet.

They come when they come, they go when they go, that is it.

You might be able to get some info on one of the 'Darker' sites, the trouble is, its difficult to tell the bullsh!t from the truth.

N3 could fall tomorrow or it could still be secure in 10 years. We have absolutely no idea of the timescale.

To be honest if a channel set is that important to you then you should be subscribing anyway.
