I well imagine the card swap is about the upcoming switch from Nagra2 to Nagra 3.
This is what just happened to BEV...and now you see 82 & 91 blacked out.
This is going to happen soon to DN as well. (around the Holidays I'm told)
It is also rumored the coders are ready to fix the change in format...but will wait until everything is down before they come out with new fixes...and the world turns...
They can't fix it 'till it's broke...but I wouldn't be so worried about buying a receiver.
And to respond to this thread...if you are new at this...and want a simple, fast, cheap, with great support unit, and if you want the ONLY receiver that has Auto Setup feature on it...be smart (you will thank me later) and get the CoolSat6100 Private. ($100.)
