Copied from Fortec site:
Conax encrypts your programs and pay-TV channels to ensure a steady income and
to make sure that agreements regarding intellectual properties are strictly
observed.

They have a new receiver out

copied fome Fortec site:
The Fortec Star Advance PC Receiver comes with CONAX embedded and PVR
functionality.

Why would they include CONAX in a personal receiver?
