DN a.k.a DISH has begun its transition to its new N3 security encryption today. The next generation in DN’s satellite security has been reportedly implemented. A day many have been dreading for the last year has finally come.
Currently DN is utilizing the old N2 encryption coupled with the new N3 encryption to make the transition smooth and allow their subscribers who have not yet received their new smart cards, to be able to continue viewing uninterrupted. Once all the new N3 smart cards have been sent to DN’s customers its only a matter of time before DN stops utilizing the old N2 encryption and totally removes it from the stream, then leaving us with only the new N3 encryption. According to the DN CEO, they plan on slowly removing N2 from the stream in sections.
This latest news of the transition is from recent reports across the community that DN has begun moving International channels over to the N3 encryption.
