Hello, I.ll be happy if you stop writing html-mails to this list!
I'm sure your heart is in the right place but please don't start using the mailing list to spam news.

I am aware of two conventions on the VDR mailing list:
1) Use your real name to post. 2) Post in plain ASCII.
I am not aware of a convention that discourages DVB/VDR-related news. Is there one? Klaus?
Cheers, Carsten.

Why are you so concerned with my "real name"? Anyone can use any name they want in their email address therefore being so worried about someones "real" name is rather silly. Do I know "Carsten Koch" is your real name? No. Do I even care? No.
I didn't notice my editor was somehow switched to richtext format, which I have since switched back. For future reference, if don't like html email then simply turn it off or filter it in your email client. Then you don't have to worry about it.
And lastly, those links are not vdr-related news, hence why the poster clearly put "OFFTOPIC" in the subject. So like I said, let's not make it a habit of using the mailing list to spam non-vdr content...
Thanks.

IMHO this was a valuable piece of information, so I don't mind that it was posted here.
I, too, appreciate if people use their real name in postings, though ;-) And posting in HTML is a no-no to me, too.
But let's stop with the flaming here.

Absolutely, since (if this insanity really happens) it means that projects like VDR are effectively dead in the water :(
I find it hard to believe that TV networks will be happy with invalidating every piece of DVB hardware sold to date (and selling now), but it will all come down to how much pressure MPAA and friends can bring to bear on them.
Cheers,

Why do you believe that?
Personally, I don't think there's any need for panic. Too much money involved. How many times has something been the threat to end it all, only to wind up a fizzling dud? Take these things with a grain of salt.

Sorry about my other reply which I accidentally sent without editing.

The trouble is such a thing really has happened to MS Windows. If the MPAA are powerful enough to force Microsoft to cripple Vista they can do it to DVB too. OTOH maybe Microsoft didn't take any forcing as they're part of the same electronic publishing axis of evil, and can make Windows as awful as they like because of their virtual monopoly. Here in the UK I'm sure Sky TV would be thoroughly in favour of DRM etc.
Hello.
Thanks a lot to Erik for this info (I have forwarded to news french site, because, I live in France :), so .. )
An offtopic message is not inevitably a spam, in my humble opinion. A real name, or a pseudo is better that an unix current user I think, that's all. And god is Klaus, here ;) .
Dead in water ? No.., we don't, we are the custumer at the end of the chain, so.. (not Micro-bidule, no black-box, never, never ;) )
But there are industrial project that's need more publicity..., (I think to the dead TCPA/Palladium chips in the past, but I'm not up to date on it. ).
Regards.
Yvan.
