[QUOTE="knutinh, post: 135462, member: 14776"] My conclusion is that Canal Digital, NTV etc are doing their best to push every customer to P2P-based download of series etc. And I hope that everyone does this instead of supporting those incompetent annoying people. This has nothing to do with "looking into technicalities". It has to do with an industry that continues to lock customers into whatever crappy scheme their managers have decided. An article about the american "cablecard" system, the CEO of Norways largest sat. provider: [url]http://www.digi.no/php/art.php?id=372636[/url] [i]"Davidsen kjenner ikke til CableCard-teknologien, men han mener at en slik teknikk ville være positiv. Han har dog noen spørsmål og vil ikke love noe om når norske kunder kan glede seg til den større friheten CableCard gir.."[/i] So, he does not know of this well-known US technology? [i]"Men han påpeker en skepsis som nok flere i TV-bransjen deler med han: – Det er ikke sikkert at man ønsker at Microsoft skal ta over TV-mottaker-markedet, sier Davidsen til digi.no."[/i] So, he is saying that CableCard cannot be used in Nroway because it will be too expensive, and he does not want to let Microsoft in. What does Microsoft have to do with this, CableCard is a general technology aimed at more competition. I think this is the first time I really would like Bush's aspirations of world dominance and FBI jurisdiction over here ;-) I truly think that these guys are the mafia and that their business practices should be shut down - prefereably by customers not giving them a dime... -k [/QUOTE]
