[QUOTE="hoppy, post: 49887, member: 18898"] I don't think it would be possible to get the box office stuff working. I suppose it should be possible, if you ordered it using the sky box, did a new channel scan once you've been authorised to view it, and picked up the new channel, but it would be a lot a effort! I will warn you that the process of getting this working has been fairly painful! Media Portal is the only decent Personal Video Recorder software that supports the Common Interface of the FloppyDTV. It used to be fairly unusable, as it used to crash a lot, but over the past couple of months, due to a valiant effort by the developers, it is pretty stable now and getting better all the time. THe major bug bear at the moment is the "No Signal" bug, but that is being well aired on the forums and lots of people are lending a hand testing and it should hopfully be resolved soon. To be honest, it dosn't really cause me many problems. I would say that you are probably getting into this about the right time, I think I was slightly early! There are other PVR's that will probably support the CI in the future, but none are open source or free. This is probably not the place to mention them :) [/QUOTE]
