[20:38:39] biffhero: <justinh> biffhero: just move back to the UK :-P <<< Heh, I have never lived outside of the US.
[20:39:43] justinh: biffhero: heheheh. there's that mrsky.com or something like merlin83b said, but it ain't cheap.
[20:40:02] justinh: shame to pay all that money & still only get wonky sling streams though too
[20:40:19] justinh: oops mrskytv.com ..
[20:41:44] justinh: my sister was showing me her dodgy xbmc setup the other week – it allegedly lets her watch all this stuff 'free' but many streams featured static slingplayer screens. Very very lame
[20:42:11] biffhero: yeah, I'm thinking it's better to help some brit pay his bills, and have a mythfronted there, using rsync between the two. But I figure it would end up being $100 a month.
[20:42:48] justinh: most UK broadband just doesn't have the upload capacity for that to work well
[20:43:09] biffhero: Oh, yeah, I had never thought of that. A bunch of slings tuning each their own channel, and then let people pay to watch the slingstream.
[20:43:51] biffhero: I presume I'd have to have some serious bandwidth restrictions to make sure the business partner would have good upload during the syncing.
[20:44:22] justinh: somebody must be paying for all those 'free' streams of pay TV channels
[20:45:18] biffhero: Sure, but they get "free" access to the other streams.
[20:45:27] justinh: heck even if it's hacky & something I'm not paying for I still want it to be good!
[20:45:43] justinh: by good I mean perfect, always working.
[20:46:28] biffhero: That sort of thing will happen more and more as more people get hooked up to the internet. Add in an increasing techno-literacy, and "Katie, bar the door."
[20:47:22] biffhero: Yeah, I'd like mine ot always work as well. I'd have to send the computer over there. If you had enough, "100?" customers, you could do it for $20 a month charge.
[20:47:35] justinh: speaking of hacking, a notable Brit MP is talking about abolishing the TV licence fee & encrippling all broadcasts
[20:47:54] justinh: biffhero: Sky wouldn't allow it to continue if they ever found out about it
[20:48:22] biffhero: I'd expect for each "customer" to know this, and keep their mouth shut.
[20:48:24] justinh: hard to call it 'personal use' if you're selling it on
[20:48:38] biffhero: I don't understand what you mean by abolishing the license fee and encrippling.
[20:49:00] biffhero: Do you mean that there's no HDMI lock down of the HD stations, since it's paid for with tax money?
[20:49:09] justinh: biffhero: right now all the TV worth watching here is unencrypted, and we all pay a licence fee
[20:49:27] justinh: no lock down of anything on terrestrial TV
[20:50:24] justinh: but now they're talking about encrypting everything.. meaning all existing receivers will be obsolete – and mythtv will never work again – since the kit needed to unlock the DRM won't run on linux..
[20:50:55] justinh: but this politician's best mate Murdoch (Sky) will do well, since they're already set up to handle this. Fun huh
[20:51:40] biffhero: So forcing all new receivers will push more customers to Sky?
[20:52:11] justinh: they already caused a massive furore or three, when the broadcast format of the dvb-t transmissions changed rendering hundreds of thousands of boxes useless (split NITs)... then people's HD TVs couldn't actually receive HD because it was launched in DVB-T2 format...
[20:53:01] justinh: so another case of having to buy another box... meh..
[20:53:44] justinh: imagine – no FTA. At all!
[20:54:26] justinh: I've more or less stopped watching telly anyway.. there's so little on I actually want to watch. It's my wife & kids who watch it really – and for that they'd have to suffer a commercial DVR
[20:54:54] biffhero: In the end, that's what the customers are paying for. It's just going to push more people to piracy. Set up a network that's a cross between tor and the pirate bay. Sell boxes for access. Move to a place with no extradition.
[20:55:26] justinh: or just abstain, because it's mostly drivel
[20:55:36] biffhero: yeah, that's where it's going towards.
[20:56:20] justinh: people moan about the license fee, but you only have to see the 'quality' of commercial output to know why public funded TV must be maintained
[20:57:33] justinh: it's one thing so force the BBC to be commercial, but to encrypt it all so you stymy the likes of MythTV where ads are easily skipped.. bah
[21:00:12] justinh: gah! I want my broadband. NOW!
[21:00:36] biffhero: what sort of internet connection do you have now?
[21:00:57] justinh: my phone. 3G
[21:01:06] justinh: 1GB for £10
[21:01:33] justinh: it's a new house, and the phone company won't install a line on-spec
[21:01:42] justinh: so you have to move in, then wait

[21:11:41] biffhero: ah
[21:11:51] justinh: and then later. .... quick! we need to reboot the DVR! Oh hang on, it's saying I need to install 57 updates. Gah! Why now?!
[21:12:21] biffhero: Have to stick with windows XP, fewer updates.
[21:12:30] justinh: not so much mythtv.. but it had to be linux for the tuner to work properly.. and then there was nothing else at the time
[21:12:54] justinh: you can't even buy XP anymore AFAIK.. not new anyway
[21:13:29] justinh: nah I'd just go with the commercial sucky DVR
[21:13:48] justinh: the slow, awful UI, unreliable recording...

[21:17:41] justinh: and why does no commercial DVR let you do arbitrary skipping? Only ever 30secs at a time
[21:18:16] justinh: it's all blimmin mpeg, with timestamped packets...
