Thanks.

With engineering and playout being outsourced, it's amazing that the BBC
still has its own R&D department:

So Freesat is to be an American venture? I'm assuming that from the spelling
of 'programme'.

They are "collaborating with other organisations to help them implement the
specification. For example:
:
:
:
BSkyB, to ensure compatibility with their system.
"

This is irony right? AFAICT the very last thing B$kyB will want is the
slightest possibility that it will work with their [[intentionally]
proprietary] system.

Has $ky come up with CAMs for CI receivers in eight years - no.
Are C4 and C5 still encoded on $ky after six years - yes.
Do $ky charge $$$$ more to content providers who don't encode or encrypt? -
guess

Compatible as in non-disruptive. See the intro: "The new freesat data
must not affect the millions of Sky receivers already in use."

Where does that source stem from?

I can't find the handouts on the main R & D publications page.

Belay that, I was being really thick!

It's all on http://www.bbc.co.uk/rd/fot/handouts.shtml and it's
something I missed out on. I take it you went?

No actually I didn't, a couple of my contacts did. If I'd known in advance
about it, I would have gone.
