Those cardsharing schemes still exist today, although they're being cracked down more and more.

Yeah, DirecTV's aggressive legal actions in the early 2000s drove that whole scene very deep underground.

It’s a funny full circle.

Instead of using OEM receivers and compromised cards, they’ve gone to running emulated receivers and regular full-sub cards.

Do you have more info on this?

I used to be really into FTA satellite, but have not played with it in awhile.

Never really played with them hands on. Ubiquitous broadband and streaming services really nailed InternetKeySharing’s coffin.
