There are always rumours about this but saying that the last big rumour said that it was meant to happen February/March so who knows.

Probably nothing to worry about because these things are fairly regular

We are overdue for a slight encryption change, the last one was May 2007.

Whats all this 'switch' business?
I gather its an attempt by the cable providers to alter the encryption of their channels in the hope that it nullifies boxes like Eurovox? Is this correct?
If so, am i to be concerned? I have a Eurvox V 2008 which i bought from Lincsat in january.
