No, but I have some leads. I can dig them up when I get home from work
today. So far I've found a DVB card which is said to tune in the Bell
Expressvu channels (should work for the DiSH network for you Americans)
but since they're encrypted with Nagravision (what your smartcard
decrypts) we have to find a PC compatible way of either using the
smartcard or find a way to just decrypt everything ;) I'm going to be
looking into this this summer so if you'd like to help that'd be great.
It will however tune in all unencrypted channels, which I think is just
all of the radio channels.

(Tuner)



 Er, sorry, I was looking in the wrong place. After closely reading a
few threads on this list I was able to find out that the AIW is a POS in
it's current state. :)

 Guess it's time to junk the AIW and buy a better card.. Anyone have any
success with DVB cards in North America on the Dish Network? (Bell
ExpressVu)?
