Default NTL/Sky Smart Card

Hi everyone,

iam doing a research and i like to know if it is possible to program an NTL smart card to work with Sky box and vice versa, and what type of smart card is NTL and is there any other use of NTL smart card apart from using with NTL box, i think NTL card is type of 'MOSC' card, can this card be programed for other use, any help much appreciated, thanks

simple answer is no! the sky encryption is nearly the same as N3 so even if it could there is no way of programming it for sky,

If you search the forum for 'ice scraper' you'll find one or two other uses for the NTL Smartcard
