Dr.Dish:
Sorry, no way to by-pass the adressable system. Nokia/d-box is partly able
to receive free PowerVu-signals.
You can buy S.A.-receivers from different sources, but be aware that this
receivers will not working on AFRTS.
If we learn about a way to receive this service, we will certainly publish
it here.
