Well, there is currently no way (as far as I know) to descramble a video
under  Linux. So,  it is  unfortunately impossible  to stream  scrambled
programs using VideoLAN.

You need 1  Nova-t (one tuner, in fact) per  "frequency". It is possible
to  get all  the  channel broadcasted  on the  same  freanquency with  a
nova-t.

Well, the Nova-t works well... except fot the descrambling part...

are not public, partly to avoid this to be achieved, I believe...
