you mean the standards published at <a href="http://www.scte.org">www.scte.org</a> are worthless?<br>i know some areas may still be in the proprietary world (a.k.a the stone ages) but i thought scte 65 covered the spec for the forward data channel used in cablecard-friendly realms (which i think my area is a part of -- yes, i've actually read the spec -- yes, i'd be willing to help with a decoder for myth if i could just get a qpsk receiver).
<br><br>no, i don't care about the CA system...i've heard you need a certain "magic value" burned into the cablecard in order to make any use of it. i'll get at those channels once windows vista comes out and <br>
<br>i just want the bloody mapping table for real -> tv listings. <br><br><br><br><div><span class="gmail_quote">On 3/1/06, <b class="gmail_sendername">Rudy Zijlstra</b> <<a href="mailto:mythtv@edsons.demon.nl">mythtv@edsons.demon.nl
