you cant have NDS and Nagra on same box. they are totally two different technology and VM cant afford to offer new box. ITs 1st April Joke.

BTW Happy April Fools day to you all.

Not neccessarily so - it has been done several times in the satellite world - Premiere Germany did an over the air firmware upgrade to their subscriber boxes a year or so back when they started switching to NDS. Some of the oldest boxes couldnt be upgraded and had to be replaced, but in the majority of cases it all went just dandy.
