There is no such thing as mpeg-5. Do you mean mheg-5? That standard has nothing to do with video codecs. Do you mean hevc/h265 perhaps? Those are mpeg4 standards, just like vc ("divx") and avc (h264).
Short answer: no.

Sounds like they have finally started modifying the encryption, something that was already announced last year.

Chipset pairing has started to be used on Sky UK (like Sky Italia HD channels).

This question pops up every now and then. No content provider uses h265 yet (maybe for testing). If picture is black, it's surely the encryption.

Which means dropping the HD pack, and a reduction in the monthly bill. Given the size of that bill, I can live with that.
What currently worries me more is that I don't see any EMM's coming in anymore, and my card expires on 4/5...

That seems to be correct.
An EMM is a specially formatted packet that is broadcasted and contains management information for your card. In this case to advance the entitlements on the card. Card activation works the same way.

Guys this has nothing to do with HD pairing. Sly are transmitting these channels in the new H265 codec. If you are like me and have your card paired to an old Thompson HD box and prefer to use a VU/another Linux box then you will lose these channels. This is because no one has yet released the H265 codec. Now many are saying that (for example) the VU Duo can’t handle the new codec.....Well that's hard to believe as Sly have managed to upgrade 5 year old HD boxes to handle the new codec mmmmmmm come on someone, let's get this sorted.
