Hi,

I don't know if this is of interest to anyone here but...

I have managed to put a smart card reader and the DVB card on a Linux
box and if I insert my Sky TV smart card, I can view all the channels
I have subscribed to!!!

What is even better is that the smart card reader software is open
source with GPL.
smart card reader software from:
http://streamboard.gmc.to/svn/oscam/trunk

The decrypting software is also fully open source with GPL from:
hg clone http://85.17.209.13:6100/sc

I view, for example, Sky1 using mythtv (mythfrontend)
