Yes, LinuxDVB supports Nagravision as any other Cypher System. I Own a dvb-ttpci card + CI adapter + official Nagravision PCMCIA IRD + TvCabo official card. I am not doing anything illegal with this. Just remember (as a side note to your thoughts): Nagravision system is often set to pair cards with readers. In this way, you must inform your channel provider (in my case TvCabo) of the IRD serial number so they can activate your card for your specific reader. Also note that some providers only allow theirs cards to be in their own STB and wont pair their cards with anything else - if this is the case, there is nothing you can do (legally). /* Pedro */ -----Original Message----- From: linux-dvb-bounce@linuxtv.org [mailto:linux-dvb-bounce@linuxtv.org] On Behalf Of Irek Defee Sent: segunda-feira, 19 de Julho de 2004 09:22 To: t.schorpp@gmx.de; 'Graham Leggett' Cc: linux-dvb@linuxtv.org Subject: [linux-dvb] Re: Do dvb drivers support Nagravision CA? >Graham Leggett wrote: > Thomas Schorpp wrote >>> Do the DVB drivers support the Nagravision CA system? >> i recommend you buying legal cam hw extensions to your dvb, vdr and >> others should support it. > My question is: once I have bought the above hardware and CA module, and > one I have obtained permission from the content provider to do this, > will the Linux DVB drivers be able to handle content from this setup? >ive read success reports from users doing so and, NO again, no paytv >provider will grant you permission or even support to do this way, >theyve outlawed all other than their certified equipment(SW+HW) in the >subscription agreements youve to sign and hereby to follow the(ir) laws. >youll risk loosing any support and even contract violation fees(!). >this is comparable with the libdvdcss and new (c) laws discussions. > (Let me make it clear, I am NOT trying to find ways to hack, crack or > otherwise illegally access content.

NEVER FROM HERE. If I may add something to clarify: If a private user buys legal CAM and legal entitlement card and puts it into the DVB-S card for its own private use there is no violation of law, right? Regarding the content distribution side: content owner may specify they type of equipment one will be able to use for receiving the content. Not even this, they also specify e.g. satellite transponder from which one is allowed to get the content. That is, even if the content is available on different satellites, agreement strictly defines the legal satellite! Thus, in this case resolving the issue with the content owner is necessary. The problem considered here is typical for IPTV. For distribution over IP Network, the encrypted content is stripped off any encryption and this has to be negotiated with content owner if they restrict the type of equipment used for stripping or not.
