Even with working keys, Ive been told the box's are only lasting 10mins then going off again! I think Virgin are using the same method as sky!
I dont think thats the case,
You see when Diamond Cable first setup the cable tv in the uk they actually brought the technology from Germany (thats why german boxes work on the same system) this included the encryption method which really cant be changed without replacing the infrastructure completely.
However SKY created their system from the ground up with all the updates being controlled via software (SKY can pinpoint individual subscribers using the system from what i have heard) the encryption as well as the keys can be changed on the fly with very little (if any) downtime.
I may be wrong but i think they have tweeked the encryption slightly to change the odd byte here and there..
As i was typing this my box went off again.. damn
