Right, and put that into an open source server, so the 'scrambling'
would be documented?

No, I would demand that when they added color to NTSC, or opened up
UHF, or switched to ATSC, that the TV maker supply me with a new tv or
retrofit my existing one to make it just work.

The Squeezebox line has been excellent in adding services, the feature
set of old products keeps growing.. but when someone uses Yet Another
Simulated DRM method for no real reason, it's just silly.  There is a
limit to the number of codecs that can be supported, especially on ip3k
platforms.  And when DRM is involved, that code can't simply be moved to
the server.
