Agreed... its not part of DVB, but maybe a feature that could be integrated in VDR if any kind of standard exists...

Any idea how to setup that ?

Hi everyone,

I am wondering how to setup my vdr box to be able to buy a movie from a kiosk tv channel like TPS Multivision channels.

Does anyone already did it ?

I think "buying" such a movie is simply connecting to a remote server using a modem and proceed to a proprietary protocol exchange to pay using your credit card. That has nothing to do with DVB, CAM or so... I think the CAM key used for transmission is always the same from movie to movie. Maybe this is part of the MHP software platform (like all the "games" for children) ?

True. But, according to EN50221, the dialog presented to the user (through MMI ressource) and the proprietary protocol exchange is controlled by an application in the CAM.

For the setup to work, the CAM must be able to send messages to a low-speed communication ressource (i.e. the modem). Vdr's jobs will be to forward the message from the CAM to the modem.

Once the transaction is done the entitlement should sent back to the CAM (but I don't know if the entitlement goes through the modem or the satellite feed)

That has nothing to do with DVB, CAM or so...

Sorry, I have to disagree.

I don't know these specific part.

I don't think so: The CA_PMT message (EN50221) can have a CA_enable field set to "Descrambling possible under conditions (purchase dialog)".
