Introduzione a CI+ su Telesatellite
Inviato: 01 set 2009, 08:02
Sull'ultimo numero di Telesatellite, c'e' un articolo introduttivo a CI+,
Praticamente col CI+ verra' introdotto una sorta di DRM sulle registrazioni fatte sull'Hard Disk, in modo che non possano essere facilmente copiate e / o registrate su altri supporti al di fuori del PVR su cui era presente inizialmente la CAM CI+
Un'altra nota dolente e' che i ricevitori odierni non saranno compatibili con CI+, per cui per usare i moduli CAM CI+ bisognera' cestinare i ricevitori attuali
Ne riporto un breve estratto:
"What does the future hold?Right now a lot of effort is focused on further developing the CI specificationwith a project called CI Plus. This new standard will not be compatible with the current CI standard, which implies that Decoding feature of a receiverAutomatic decoding feature of a receiverin future subscribers of pay TV using CI Plus will have to buy new receivers. What most clearly sets apart CI Plus from the current standard is its integrated copy protection mechanism which can make it impossible to copy recorded pay TV con-tent from a receiver’s internal hard disk to any other storage medium. In addition, with CI Plus it will be possible to better protect children or minors from viewing unsuitable material. While the latter cer-tainly is a most welcome development, imminent copy protection is a matter of heated debate. After all, even a single and perfectly legal copy of a recorded movie for private use will become a thing of the past if this feature is implemented. Users would be left with no choice but either to keep all recordings on their hard disk (which might eventually cause some storage capacity issues) or to wait until a movie they like is broadcast again.What the new CI Plus specificationsug-gests, however, is that content providers are free to decide themselves whether or not to activate these copy protection features. So let’s hope the rules of the marketplace will finallydeterminethatonly those providers will stay in business successfully that allow their subscribers to make a DVD or Blu-Ray copy of their favourite recording."
