[linux-dvb] DVB-C

[Ingvar Nedrebo <inm@iriz.net>]

Hi,

I'm thinking of dipping into DVB as a hobby for the long winter 
evenings, and
I was hoping the clever people on this list could help me with the 
following
questions: I live in the UK and subscribe to ntl digital cable.

1. How standard is DVB-C? Are there country-specific issues like with 
DVB-T?

2. Would you think there is a chance that they transmit free-to-air 
channels
    (BBC, ITV, etc) unencrypted. Or would they be likely to just encrypt 
everything
    since they have full control over the cable network anyway?

I don't think I can buy DVB-C cards in the UK, but I get one from e.g. 
Germany,
is there a chance it might work? And if I do and it doesn't, will 
somebody on
the list buy it from me? :-)

Finally, it is probably to much to hope that anybody knows which 
encryption
system ntl is using? Or where I can find this out?

Regards,
Ingvar
