Providers are closing more and more features. Allmost always a closed STB or if you are lucky a CI+ module. They are throwing you back to the 70's. Watch one channel, no recording... In my opinion buying a big STB becomes more and more useless. 'Illegal' IPTV is out of the question here (yes, tried a testline once). Quality (if you can call it that) is terrible.. In my country all channels are scrambled. For unscrambled services there is still a possibility....
