ART to cancel Irdeto boxes
- Middle East: Monday, September 28 - 2009 at 11:03
The largest Middle East pay-TV platform, Arab Radio & Television (ART), is in the process of switching from Irdeto to Viaccess conditional access in an attempt to curb local piracy. The broadcaster will begin the switch-out of its Irdeto encryption on June 1 next year, just days ahead of the important 2010 FIFA World Cup football tournament. However, ART's subscriber services company (MultiChoice Middle East) has said it will continue to simulcrypt Irdeto conditional access for the foreseeable future, and aims to see 95% of its audience to have new Viaccess boxes before any final Irdeto switch-off is concerned.
