Linux multimedia dream machine, cool!
,----[ Quote ]
| This is the Dreambox, a Linux powered price
| winning digital television receiver. While
| it may not look like much at first, wait
| till you hear what special features it
| supports (some unofficially) .
|
| [...]
|
| The feature I believe this system is most
| popular for, is not officially supported it
| even breaks your warranty and is not
| promoted by Dream multimedia. Unofficial
| third-party conditional access software
| modules (CAMs or emulators) are widely
| circulated on the Internet that emulate the
| CA systems developed by VideoGuard, Irdeto
| Access, Conax, Nagravision, Viaccess and
| other proprietary vendors. Many Dreambox
| owners use these softcams together with
| special software for card sharing. Card
| sharing is when you buy one card for pay-tv
| and share de decryption codes generated by
| the card over the network. This allows for
| watching the pay-tv channels on other
| systems not equipped with a card. While
| this practice may be illegal in some
| jurisdictions, it's obviously very popular.
