Cyfra+ has began introducing a new encoding system for cards sent to a cable networks. There's a new ProvID 0068 on some of the channels (so far Seca 2 was identified as 0065). Subscribers will get new smart cards and instructions with the September's issue of Magazyn Plus+.
A new version of the system used by Cyfra+ is called Seca 4. In practice, the receiver sees the card as Seca MediaGuard but it's only a communication layer with the Nagravision system located inside.
The exchange of smart cards is an action against illegal subscribers who use forge cards. Everyone with such card will lose the access to platform's offer in the moment when old system is out.
