Talk:VideoCrypt

VideoCrypt "S"
I found out tonight that the BBC used a line shuffling variation of VideoCrypt named VideoCrypt "S" for their overnight subscription based BBC Select service. I wonder if someone technical minded could add information about this type of VideoCrypt into the article. I have found two references for the encryption system which can be cited in the article.

VideoGuard not been beaten
Ive changed the VideoGuard has not been beaten to "apart from Reverse Engineering". Because it has, in a way been beaten. If anyone wants to change it back because i havent explained it enough. Try and correct it so it does make sense.
 * The reverse engineering comment made it sound like it was beaten and the subscriber smartcard had been reverse engineered. This would have been significant news. At the moment, there does not appear to be any such compromise on Videoguard hence the confusion. Jmccormac (talk) 12:37, 8 August 2009 (UTC)

The program called was called season as I remember. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 31.54.225.207 (talk) 21:35, 4 August 2013 (UTC)
