Those suggestions are all great and working, but there is another point
that comes into my mind: Getting a possibility to receive Premiere
legally without bigger costs.
One of the points for becoming a 'Premiere certified' receiver is as far
as I know a working child protection with PIN code like the original
DBox has. But wouldn´t this rather be a topic for the developers of the
driver?
