Hi :) Yep they're using MediaGuard 7.6 (more popularly known as "SECA 2") and you can either use their own CAM for ?40, or any other SECA 2-compatible CAM. I haven't personally used one with Linux but there's zero reason why it shouldn't work. It's ?7.99 a month, but just be aware that you only get 4 channels extra at any one time - they share time slots so e.g. you won't get any cartoons after 6pm etc. :) Cheers, Gavin.
