The aim of this is to bill every TV set instead of just each family:
most of the time, you pay for one or two TV-plugs, even if you installed
several tuners (TV, video recorders on tapes and/or on DVD, ...)
With this system, you will need a separate decoder for each device, and
you will have to pay a fee for each decoder.
They don't wish you to be able anymore to use PC-based tuners, whatever
OS you are running.
If you want to receive TV on your computer, you will need a dedicated
decoder (and annual fee related) and connect it to your card by RGB or
other non digital connection, I'm affraid...

Hi,
As announced yesterday by M. J-L Schiltz, cable-TV will be fully
digital in Luxembourg as of jan. 1st 2008. What are the consequences
for people watching TV on their Linux-Computers and/or using Software
such as Freevo, Mythtv,...?
As connecting a std-alone decoder isn't really an option, what are the
other possibilities?
I know that actually Coditel uses Mediacypher to encrypt their network
and Imagin (Eltrona + Siemens) are using Cryptoworks. Simple (without
CI) DVB-C Tuners will not work because of this. Does anyone
successfully use cards like TechnoTrend-budget C-1500 (+ CI) or
TwinhanDTV Cab-CI (2033 Mantis) together with Technisat
Cryptoworks-CAM and an Imagin-Card in Linux (to watch Imagin)?
What about Coditel?
greetings
Jang
