Hi everyone,
What I'd like to do is get the stream straight to disk, preferably including HD streams. Can I do this using a DVB-S card and a dragon (or similar) cam with VDR?
Alex,
Encryption chat is off topic for this mailing list and let's keep the solution legal.
All of that is feasibly possible, assuming a dragon cam supports the version of NDS encryption used in NZ. Though with a dragon cam you'll need to transfer your original viewing card to an official box for updates every month. Alternatively you could use a softcam and phoenix card reader alongside your original viewing card which will handle the monthly updates for you.
For HD you'll need a later version of VDR that support DVB-S2 (if used in NZ) and H264.
I recommend that you visit the DVBN forums which has a lot more information about what you are trying to achieve and would be the best place to ask questions on the subject.
