Hi all, I'm interested in watching BBC HD broadcasts from the new freesat service. However there seems to be conflicting reports about what hardware this is possible with. In particular there is comment here from the freesat people that seems to imply that they will use some sort access restrictions: http://uk.news.yahoo.com/techdigest/20080423/ttc-opinion-freesat-confusion-and-secrec-e870a33.html "would like to clarify that the Hauppauge free-to-air USB2 satellite tuner is not a freesat licensed product and as such will not receive freesat services. freesat licensed products can be identified by the freesat logo and are subject to a stringent test and conformance regime." So... 1) does anyone know if the freesat broadcasts are encrypted or real free to air? 2) Is anyone successfully watching freesat including the BBC HD broadcasts under linux? 3) And if so what hardware are you using? (I'm particularly interested in USB attached hardware as I have no room in my media centre case for a tuner card :D, but maybe I will have to buy a new case!) Cheers, Steve. _______________________________________________ linux-dvb mailing list linux-dvb@xxxxxxxxxxx http://www.linuxtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/linux-dvb
