RE: Re: Sky HD - a must have



There are alternative approaches...

For example:

http://www.humaxdigital.com/global/products/HDCI-2000.asp

This would allow you receive all the HD BBC channels right now, - and
altho=
ugh most of the info given says that this can't receive Sky's encrypted HD
=
channels, this isn't quite as it would seem... - A colleage of mine is
plan=
ning to get one of these, and fit it with a Dragon CAM, and use his
brother=
s Sky HD card to do some (no doubt somewhat "hooky") magic to
enable all th=
e Sky HD channels (I couldn't possibly comment on the ethics of such an
act=
ivity of course...)

I'll let the group know how he gets on...
