Here's the latest info on the future of the Nagra upgrade:
Smart Card Swap -- Dish Network is beginning a programmiing access card or "smart card" exchange in its ongoing efforts to combat piracy of Dish Network Signalls. The older blue-colored cards that are house in the bay on the front of Dish Network receivers will be systematically "swappd out" with newer, more secret yellow-colored cards for several million of our subscribers. It is anticipated that the exchange will begin in October and is expected to take from 6 months to a year to complete. Dish Network will be sending the new yellow cards directly to the subscribers with a mailer that includes instructions and an explanation of the importance of swapping out the card. Subscribers will also beging to see intermittent on-screen text reminders about the exchange program in the weeks leading up the their exchange deadlines. Model 6000 HD receivers with blue access cards will not be able to receive programming after August 31, 2004, without a new yellow card. Dish Network has successfully completed an exchange program with a test group of Model 6000 accounts without any problems so we do n anticipate that you will have any significant issues with the exchange.
