Re: [SLUG] Tv cards that can recieve satellite TV

You need a CAM (Conditional Access Module -- a special PCMCIA crypto module) and a valid subscription smart card. The encrypted DVB channels are sent to the CAM, decrypted, then sent back to the DVB card for decoding and display. You can do PVR stuff with them just like you would normally. I wouldn't vouch for Foxtel's stuff being available though (do they use satellite in Australia?). Here in Europe, Sky refuses to release their CAM separately from their own decoder boxes, despite being repeatedly ordered to do so by the EU. Though this may have something to do with the fact that their crypto has never been cracked... -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group Mailing List - http://slug.org.au/ Subscription info and FAQs: http://slug.org.au/faq/mailinglists.html

Re: [SLUG] Tv cards that can recieve satellite TV
quote who=Richard Hayes Is there are Linux supported TV cards that can receive satellite TV? Yeah, look for DVB-S cards. I use a DVB-T card (for terrestrial free-to-air) and it works very nicely - many of the DVB-S counterparts to DVB-T cards 'just work' with slightly different settings. www.linuxtv.org - Jeff -- linux.conf.au 2006: Dunedin, New Zealand http://linux.conf.au/ What does an underage calf drink?

Re: [SLUG] Tv cards that can recieve satellite TV
100's. just point your dish at a satellite and start decoding. there are free channels on the same sat's that run the pay tv stuff, just that the pay tv stuff is encrypted. there is digital radio and all sorts on there also have a mate or two who are quite into it.

Re: [SLUG] Tv cards that can recieve satellite TV
no, its illegal. im not talking about pay tv though paytv channels are scrambled. the free ones arent you point your dish at the sat, and then start scanning and find channels you like. or look up tables etc for the satelitte you can get cards for your satelite box that allow you to use it for paytv.
