Is Nagra 3 hacked?
YES, but not fully. Some boxes are able to view some channels encrypted using Nagra 3 through a technique called “card sharing” whereby the encryption status of an existing paid subscriber card is disseminated to other receivers through the use of a networked connection. Many hackers in the underground FTA testing community are working hard to further crack this security implementation as they have done in the recent past with Nagra 2. Current underground projects are limited to channels which can be subscribed to. Channels that are not available for subscription such as Special Events and Pay-Per-View programming have so far remained unavailable. Claims have recently been made that Nagra 3 is hacked in Europe, where it has been in use for some time. These claims have so far not been proven to work or have any chance of working in North America. Several boxes now proven capable of using some variant of the card and internet key sharing method include, the Dreambox, K-Box, Neosat and Nf
