Like who? DishNetwork? They're the only other big player and they're owned by the same company as DTV, no? Hence the monopoly pushing down possible hacker with a heavy thumb. I work for a security company that tests smart cards with cryptographic keys. I also pay for DTV. I've purchased a smart card reader. Am I a theif? This sucks a$$.
