Any CAM news yet?

CAM?  :-?  :-/

Most important part of any pay TV system to allow people to watch pay TV channels with a decent receiver

Amcrap

No chance then

This is where Ondigital had it right you could watch it on ANY CAM compliant digital device, worked well on my last TV.

Why would someone want multiple boxes cluttering up the place, why couldn't say TB use a CAM on his media centre PC?

Why do people struggle with CAMs and decent receivers for a few FTV encrypted channels?

BTW there are more people moving from Sky to Freesat than the other way round.

As to F1 defiantely getting RTL over winter just need to get a  new dish quad LNB and a couple of Diseqc switches.

Most Freesat boxes support multi satellite.

Agreed. Problem is, Sky are addicted to boxes which stay on all night phoning home (if you choose to connect them to the outside world).

Hopefully a dose of Amsturd reliability will help our case.

I've got one of the new builds, they are considerably smaller and quieter than current range. Picture appears crisper too, swapped out old HD box straight in for the new one, back to same channel. Picture looked better  :-/

As others have said, I can't see Sky ever going to the Conditional Access open standards.  The problem with open standards is they are hard to tweak, and easy to hack.

I know Sky has been hacked, but its always done via sharers, rather than the systems that were unable to protect ONdigital.

I would only have Sky if it could be from the MCE, but even then it would be unlikely.  The TV is no better, it just takes longer to decide its all trailer trash.
