MultiDec or DVBcore API Plugin support for TopUpTV, $ky Digital, and NTL cable.

[Nick [D]vB]

Hi, because GB-PVR now supports DVB devices with BDA drivers would it be possible for someone to add MultiDec or DVBcore API Plugin support?

There are many current DVB devices that do not have a common interface connection for a hardware CAM and smartcard.

But, if one of these API's was supported people could use GB-PVR to view pay TV services like TopUpTV, $ky Digital, and NTL cable!

They would still need a LEGAL subscription and smartcard but they could then use a cheap USB Phoenix smartcard reader and a free CAM emulation plug-in.

Because GB-PVR now has access to the raw transport stream patching in this support shouldn't be too difficult.

I have lots of information on these API's and I'm sure the guys from the DVBN would be glad to help out. Please let me know what you think,

Keep up the good work,
Cheers, Nick.

If this is possible it would be great!
I use GB-PVR with NTL happily enough at the moment and get excellent results. The only improvement for me would be channel hopping (due to the hardware processing 3-4 second delay, it's not really practical), this is defintately something the lady sorely misses (and thus changes to normal TV view mode on the tele to do it!! grr)....
