Losing Sky channels when using a non Sky box?

Some non Sky boxes can be used to read a Sky card, and access Sky channels.

However, it looks like Sky have increased their security, and there are rports that, as from yesterday, C4 and C4+1 on frequency 12480, the Irish regional variations, are no longer watchable on non Sky boxes.

This morning some reports are suggesting Sky 3 / Pick TV is also unavailable on non Sky boxes.

It looks like Sky have increased their card security, and are trying to stop their cards being used on non Sky boxes in another attempt to reduce card sharing.

This could be the "something" that was expected when they changed to the new white Sky cards...
