    Default Aurora first generation cards now dead

    From on an Optus website :

    Q: When will I need to replace my smartcard?

    A: It is currently planned for existing (i.e. already activated) Version 1 smartcards to remain in operation until early 2008. We are no longer activating any ‘new’ Version 1 smartcards. By mid 2008, any Version 1 smartcards which have not already been replaced by a Version 4 (or higher) smartcard will require swapout at that time. All new smartcards provided now are Version 5.

    For the purpose of identification, Version 1 smartcard numbers begin with either ‘0’ or ‘2’. If your smartcard begins with either of these numbers, you will need to replace your smartcard with a current version by mid 2008 otherwise you will lose access to Aurora services.

    Talking C'Mon Cobbers, who stole his dummy?

    Sorry about that.
    It's quite obvious that he sat on it and it disappeared up his fundamental orifice. Next one changing his nappy, please retrieve and shove it where it will shut his gob.

    My goldies and silvers (4 working) don't have a serial no. on them so I guess I'll never know which version they are.

    I'd have to disagree there mate, I doubt the Irdeto stream will still be running this time next month. They've been advertising the change for the last year or two, and have always said they will be switched of mid 2008.

    I've read over in the Loggers section there are about 30,000 Irdeto 1 cards still out there working.
    If Irdeto1 is turned off next month there will be lots of angry remote area viewers.

    Thats going by this..

    That's not actually correct mate, there are EMK's being sent for 30000 cards, but that doesn't mean that there are 30000 cards being used.

    Dave001 is correct...my original 1.6 got an emk but its not working ... I'm not in a position to log atm, so I don't know exactly why. Probably just stopped the plain keys.

    I'd guess that they just haven't bothered to trim the database.

    My previous post mentiod a discusion with Optus about the old version 1 cards, just to recap. They are no longer activating those cards and plan to do a swap out in the near future to their registered clients, which basically means if you have a version 1 card authourised to you it will be swapped out. exact time frame is not confirmed but expect it within 12 months probebly earlier then later.

    So Irdeto 2 will be the baseline service . This will subsequently deactivate all the Gold/Silvers and UCAS receivers.
