Editing ITV Digital (section)

==== Piracy ====
The ONdigital [[pay-per-view]] channels were encrypted using a system – [[Nagra France|SECA]] [[MediaGuard]] – which had subsequently been cracked by hackers working for NDS Group, the makers of the [[VideoGuard]] system that Sky Digital used. ONdigital did not update this system, therefore it was possible to produce and sell counterfeit subscription cards which would give access to all the channels.<ref>{{cite news
