Sky UK HD channels are gone?

[6om6a]

Can anyone clarify what is exactly going on with HD channels on Sky UK? None of the Sports HD channels are working. The logs say that channels cannot be decoded.
So, is this due to this new pairing method? If so than why SD channels are still working fine? Some people say it is due to the new encoding with H265. But I am on a PC and my PC can handle the new encoding.  Some technical explanation would be very appreciated here. Thanks in advance. Below is the log example:

Yes bad news, sky are testing new nds encryption type (layer of encryption), on hd channels and on some sd channels. but hopefully colibiri or some other hacker out there is working on a solution.

yes people on old boxes like thomsons and servers have lost all sports hd and movies HD and a few others

the new pairing is like what happen to sky it 9 months ago. There is a few rem ours of a fix from a new cam, but is very very costly

SkyHD channels (most of them) have gone. None of the receiver can support them. The thing is that:
1. SkyUK introduced new paring system (receiver + card). Only original receivers + original cards can support the package.
2. New compression codec
The problem is global.

hi mod, thanks for the post

it seems a box needs a cpu dump for the middle part of the new coding.

So what we can do with our subscriptions now ? I have lost many channels to and I've got couple accounts as a reseller- what I suppose to do , my clients starting to complain , any solution at the minute ? The same problem occure with CANAL + , and HBO channels on HOTBIRD

[telex]

perhaps IPTV will give us back Sky ARTS1 HD and the other HD....
