live in a Linux STB would be a full featured HDTV DVB card. Such a card could receive and decode the signal, without making the data externally available, except on the HDCP protected output. Even if it wouldn't be possible to record such a broadcast, we could at least watch it live
Such a card might even allow the encrypted stream to be dumped to the disk and replayed back through the HDMI at a later date (provided the DRM flagged that such time shifting was permissible).
It might even be possible to support time-limited replay if the card is willing to trust the timestamps that it receives from the incoming aerial signal at the time of replay.
