Unfortunately, afaik that is impossible. However, if you use VDR and the softcam plugin (VDR-SC) you can do that. I havn't tried it, but according to other postings is should work. It's probably illegal in some countries, even if you have a valid subscription. I'd love to have a descrambler that can be used as a filter: dvbstream | descramble | mplayer In the Windows world it's almost there: http://joshyfun.peque.org/OfflineDescrambler/ I've used it once when I needed to record two scrambled programs sent simultaneous on the same DVB-S transponder. -- Peter Fassberg _______________________________________________ linux-dvb mailing list linux-dvb@xxxxxxxxxxx http://www.linuxtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/linux-dvb
