Should be possible. Encrypted DVB-S providers can also lock/unlock single smartcards.

- londons_explore 4y agoAnd it is pretty common that said smartcards get 'cracked', and then they have to reissue new cards to all viewers and switch to a new master crypto key. If even one legacy card remained in use, then attackers could use that card to dump the key used for the video stream and publish it online.
- gsich 4y agoIt's usually not that simple. Yes there is card sharing, but you need to have the card active for that. But card sharing is not "cracking" obviously. Also, you don't store the "master key" on the card, obviously.
