Well of course they frown at it, they have to. Well, not "have to" have
to, they choose to. What would you do if you couldn't build your setup
properly and your "tuner" was a huge pricey box from your provider or a
hack like HD-PVR, because you were forced to use shit like irblasters
and firewire remotes? LOL. You'd be sitting here bitter like an old
spinster and making it harder for others with more skills or luck to do
it properly. Under the guise of "legal integrity", which is of course
bullshit. Take your DMCA and GTFO.

I'd rather buy crap like DM or IPBox and forget about MythTV, at least
it would be an honest DVB setup. There's nothing illegal about using
SoftCAM's where I come from, even my provider knows. Why the fuck would
any of you even want to deprive me of my natural right to free speech
and exercising it with other truly free people?
