you have a choice with Sky, its just not the 'popular' thing to do. A bit like me not wanting to run Windows so I invested time and effort in an alternative, equally I could invest time and effort in a Dreambox.

its interesting that Humax now do Sat PVRS for freesat, I wonder if there is any legal way Sky could stop them offereing the ability to use a SKy card to receive encrypted channels? Or even if a monopoly commision would 'force' Sky to release their Intellectual property so that other manufacturers could offer alternative boxes with their own features.
