To DVBFREAK:
1. First of all, types of the questions you asked here are typically discussed at very specialized forums, if any. This forum is not so "technical" and you will never see any deeper technical details of CS or similar here.
2. Please don't wait for any "specific" explanation of what, how, where, etc. This is "know-how" of the Moderator. He will never share his specific knowledge here by discussing technical errors with users, etc.
3. You are right that we are not Sky. We just warn our users that in case... The case has not come yet and our warning is based on the internet rumors.
4. We had similar cases when provider "paired" receiver+card and we had to arrange 1 card = 1 channel. But in terms of finance, it is not possible to have the number of cards equal to the number of channels in the package. We are not millionaires. Naturally, that soon, the CS of the package was stopped as it was financially not profitable.
5. We do not care what other CS-services offer - HD or not HD. We are sure that this is just advertisement and promotion. As a rule, CS of such type does not live long. Sooner or later, provider will detect CS and it will be blocked.
6. As for "I pay for..." - I can tell you that we also pay (to support and maintain a) forum, b) billing, c) merchants, d) internet security (in case of Ddos attacks), e) servers maintenance, etc. Moreover, we pay for the card itself, it is not cents, it is hundreds (or even thousands) of EURO (SkyItalia is a good sample). Sometimes, it is not profitable as the number of subscribers is less than we would like to.
By the way, everybody agreed with our rules before becoming a member and paying for service. If you want, you may read them again in the billing. This is so-called "legal document" and by signing it, you agree with our policy and rules. Nobody forced you to pay or whatever. You do it by yourself. Words like "I pay for service..." are useless in this case.
7. Agree that it is very fair to warn you, but this is just warning. We do not want a headache in the future if we do not warn you now.
Low prices of other CS server for 2 years - it's a bullshit. I wonder, what is the quality of that CS-server? How can they guarantee that within the next 2 years, nothing will happen? We just ignore such information as we are not newbies on this market.
