schestowitz[TR2]Tue 14:12:05  │ 〖ulf〗 │ weird, yesterday i attached the DVB-C cable receiver, and since this afternoon it is disconnectedAug 03 02:56
schestowitz[TR2]Tue 14:13:05  │ 〖ulf〗 │ somewhat ironic, just this morning i began deleting more than 80 of the 100 tv stations from the list already, except for some documentary and news broadcastersAug 03 02:56
schestowitz[TR2]Tue 14:13:36  │ 〖ulf〗 │ leaving me with what's broadcasted OTA with DVB-T2 anywayAug 03 02:56
schestowitz[TR2]Tue 14:13:59  │ 〖ulf〗 │ i am wondering, how they could have noticed some cable-tv receiver was attached (no-internet that is)Aug 03 02:56
schestowitz[TR2]Tue 14:14:27  │ 〖ulf〗 │ and, i am paying "cable fee" to the landlord, besides regular internet fee to the internet providerAug 03 02:56
schestowitz[TR2]Tue 14:15:42  │ 〖ulf〗 │ what's surprising me, is they had noticed somehow a DVB-C receiver was attached, although those officially got no transmission channel back to the providerAug 03 02:56
schestowitz[TR2]Tue 14:19:18  │ 〖ulf〗 │ the difference seems to be, with DVB-C some "private" tv broadcasters (mostly useless USA rubbish and series) do not require a separate decryption-cardAug 03 02:56
schestowitz[TR2]Tue 14:19:52  │ 〖ulf〗 │ no idea whatever this is, or how it is implemented, with DVB-T2 those "private" broadcasters require decryptionAug 03 02:56
schestowitz[TR2]Tue 14:20:32  │ 〖ulf〗 │ the "public" tv broadcasters do not require decryption, instead government forces all citizens to pay for the rubbish and propaganda, and it's broadcasted for free thenAug 03 02:56
schestowitz[TR2]Tue 14:23:14  │ 〖ulf〗 │ i would be curious though, i they have noticed a DVB-C receiver was attached, i didn't connect this to the internetAug 03 02:56
schestowitz[TR2]Tue 14:23:21  │ 〖ulf〗 │ *howAug 03 02:56
schestowitz[TR2]Tue 14:24:02  │ 〖ulf〗 │ i did pay for this receiver with cash btw.; not with the mastercard since i am not keen on this thing being associated with my private data in any wayAug 03 02:56
