Hi BTVHack,
Using a transcoded signal from your PC requires a DVB-T modulator, costing £1000, something I feel is too expensive for the average punter.
Would it not be better to figure out the way recorded material is stored using the method I outlined above?
Has someone on these forums already figured out how recorded content is digitally stored?
thanks
John

Another idea along similar lines.
(1) Configure the box to dual boot Linux and the embedded Windows OS. - from the forum looks like people have already got this going.
(2) Setup a DVB-T sender to send a false channel to the box (see above). Record this false channel while running the ordinary Windows.
(3) Boot into Linux and copy the recorded file from the Windows partition to a local network machine.
This will allow one to compare the recorded file and the original DVB-T channel sent to the box, allowing one to figure out the encryption process. - again someone might already know this.
(5) Once this has been achieved copy your own modified movie files from a local network machine to the Windows partition while running Linux on the box.
(6)Boot into Windows and enjoy your own movies. No need to mess with the hardware (except I assume for the initial Linux install).
your feedback will be greatly appreciated.

cancel the above suggestion, looks like it only delivers a signal in the VHF range

how about this?
"This is not a hoax ! With a PC running Linux and a recent VGA card, you can emit a real digital TV signal in the VHF band to your DVB-T set-top box."

Got up on Saturday morning and thought wouldn't it be great to view downloaded videos on my BT Vision box.
After a few hours of google and eventually landing up at this excellent forum/wiki I realized I firstly need to learn some German and secondly there must be an easier way to move content from a computer to the box in question.
I've come up with the below idea, please tell me if I'm mad.
(1) Output a video from my PC as an analogue freeview signal. (good quality signal)
(2) Have my BT vision box record this false channel
(3) Viola! watch the video.
sounds too easy?
no messing with the box's hardware or software.
Would love your input.
Johne
