Looks like Expressvu, who's now trying to renew there license for the next 7 years, got $hit on badly by the CRTC, who said they may only renew there license for a shorter term, until the piracy problem is taken care of. CRTC requested a full card swap in the next 18 month and wants ExpressVu to file reports on the progress. Wow there really not happy with ExpressVu. This was 1 year ago... so I guess the card swap will be in the next 6 month....
Read the CRTC report and start at line 3364
3372 In short, the conditions that we propose for Bell ExpressVu cover the following points.
3373 One, the licensee has the responsibility of implementing and maintaining security for all its signals, and to replace signal security systems, equipment and components upon expiry of their useful life or their obsolescence, whichever happens first.
3374 Second, the licensee has the responsibility to implement and maintain direct control of the conditional access process and to ensure that authorizations are tied to customer accounts with defined attributes.
3375 Three, the licensee has to implement and maintain control and audit procedures and report annually to the Commission.
3376 Four, the licensee has to implement the PRISM system, a full smartcard swapout within 18 months and a recurring ECM program, in line with its own commitments made during the CRTC process on signal theft.
