Spanish Digital+ starts its countermeasure ?

Up to date no countermeasure against the Nagra2 hack in Digital+ Spain (Hispasat at 30ยบ West), the provider has done nothing to prevent the ilegal access to its stream, but recently some "affiliated" webs report that they will start to change some cards to some clients. This cards are supposed to be the ROM 101 available, when the change has been completed they will change the operational keys and nobody will be able to get them as the ROM 101 will not get updated.

This procedure will render in "black" screens in non-clients televisions. Is expected that Dish Networks (at 61.5W) announces the same procedure in the next days.

The other Nagra2 providers that have running ROM 101 cards are currently not in trouble, but they will be soon quite sure.

The end of ROM 101 is just a few days/weeks in the future, but as no official note will be published you will note it when the screen becomes black.
