:ExpressVu also has NFL Sunday Ticket. ExpressVu also has something that's difficult to obtain from US satellite companies: US network feeds in different time zones.
Since the introduction of DirecTv's P4 cards, I've yet to hear from a reliable source that they've been cracked. So for now, DirecTv could be considered an "artificially secure" service provider i.e. no valid reason to crack their current security... YET!
most times they don't even defeat the encryption but going after the cipher but rather the area where the keys are stored. In the case of BRD and HDDVD they did not crack the AES itself but they found the keys stored in memory and unlocked the encryption. Cracking modern encryption itself is not worth the time..finding the keys is much easier and takes much less effort.
