[QUOTE="dirtydonki, post: 396959, member: 258251"] 1. The Pub can not be done under any breach of copyright as long as they have paid for a valid subscription. 2. The law on the showing of live football at 3pm on a Saturday is not a law at all but a restriction imposed by the FA on British TV companies. 3. Civil suits are the only way for Media companies to persue this if they have the bottle but they do not have a case at all. This is all bluff and scaremongering. 4. Under EEC law it is legal to purchase and import anything within the EEC freely. Including TV services if the selling company are willing to supply this. Sky have been actively oposed to the spread of "rival" services for obvious reasons and have been active in promoting making such spread difficult if not impossible. eg: Sky Italia, Premiere and NDS based systems that require a Box Key ID. There are ways around even this now. However, there are still providers who have "open" access systems based purely on card encryption whose cards can be purchased and just plugged & played. eg: ART, Nova, DigitalAlb. In England, virtually every pub I use between Northampton and Swindon and West London at weekends has live 3pm football showing quite nicely thank you very much on a Saturday. [/QUOTE]
