What's CI Plus?

[PedroChatter]

It's the extension of the DVB Common Interface, the system that secures pay-tv services over other networks. The CI Plus standard is backed by Samsung, Sony, SmarDTV, Philips and Neotion.

I've heard that they have been having problems with the actual implementation of the concepts behind it.

Although there has been enthusiasm for CI Plus from operators including the Netherlands and Germany, the latter faces difficulties in fully implementing the concept should NDS continue to disapprove of anything other than embedded conditional access.
