Maybe this is like Microsofts WMV, it is unhackable, nobody can get it to play a stream if DRM v9 is enabled. Not one person on the planet. And it has been over a year now.
It already exisits and works well. If you use a recent windows mobile phone or PDA with Exchange 2k3 SP2 you can set it up. The way it works is the exchange server will send your mobile an SMS when it gets a new message. This SMS is eaten by your phone and you never see it, it does trigger active sync in your phone though which then downloads the new messasge. Works well. You can read up on it here:
This may be true in many cases, but not in this case. The HD signal is never present in the computer. It is decoded on the board and passed directly to the monitor. The board uses a pass though when not displaying HD.
Some work is already underway to reverse the encryption scheme. Check out http://groups.yahoo.com/group/AccessDTV. Not too much activity, but there were some decent things figured out already. Mainly that it looks possible to pull the unencrypted stream from the file.
Also there is another card that does mostly the same thing (no PVR functions) but doesn't encrypt the stream at all called the HiPix
You can order a second card with the same serial number. OR if your card does break, they will replace it with a card with the identical serial number.
