I removed a huge section on "how DirecTV was hacked", because they were not using VideoGuard at that time, so its completely irrelevant - just as irrelevant as a long section on how VideoCrypt was broken before Sky used NDS. --Kiand 18:25, 11 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] VideoGuard versus Free-To-View

I started editing this article when I spotted a couple of grammatical mistakes, but ended up changing the paragraph about Channel 4 and Sky Three. The previous version mentioned justifying VideoGuard to protect Ch4 geographically, and suggested that this was using 'a metaphorical sledgehammer to crack a very small nut.' I suppose that's acceptable, if the 'geographical' argument was genuinely that proposed by BSkyB and Channel 4. However, with all four ITV channels (and regional variations) becoming unencrypted in November 2005, I couldn't see how this argument could be sustained by the broadcaster, or how it could be refuted by this article. I'm still unhappy with the edit I've just published, and would welcome a discussion on this page to see how we can improve this point. --die Baumfabrik 03:35, 21 February 2006 (UTC)

I've deleted the old link and added a link to the NewsDataGroup website page dealing with the Videoguard system. It seems somewhat more relevant than the older link which seemed to be a whitepaper site rather than the actual NDS website.
