Not quite sure of the right forum for this...
I've done some googling and not found a definitive answer, seems to be much confusion and things also seem to change.
I currently have a black gold DVB-T2 tuner but I recently saw the picture on my friends freesat box was much better - I know they transmit proper 1080p whereas freeview is a bit lower and without 5.1 sound.
The nice thing about my current setup is that I can record my programs in WMC and move them about/watch them anywhere on any device I like because everything T2 is unencrypted - including the HD content.
I can't seem to find out what the situation is for freesat - seemingly the stream is unencrypted but a flag is sent telling the box to apply DRM.
If I were to buy a dvb-s2 tuner such as the blackgold would this mitigate the issue? It does not carry the freesat certification and I presume this is one of the reasons why...
It also seems to depend to some extend on the channel you are watching as to whether the DRM flag is sent.
Can anyone with an S2 card confirm what the limitations are in relation to recording and storing content?
Thanks
