Is it possible to hear any of Star Choice or Expressview audio only using this method?

If they are using the same type of video encryption I would assume that it would be possible. However, DirecTV uses DSS Videoguard and I think that encryption type is specific to DirecTV only. I know on 101W you can hear all the audio, but no video, on the Hotel Media package on TP 12061 and they are using Powervu.

The TSReader plug-in DOESN'T DECRYPT audio or video [FTA].

Bell uses DVB (same as Dish) and SHaw Direct uses Digicipher II

But as Smitty noted those channels are scrambled

"DSS"- Digital Satellite System- was the name of the original receiver/dish combo used with Directv and USSB programming.
Now it seems to be used as a term (like DVB) for the signal transmission method. Not sure when or why that got started.

Directv got sued back in the 90s because someone else was already using "DSS", if it wasn't for that they probably would still call it DSS.

There is no such poster in the thread as I did recheck now.

BTW, Bell using same Nagravision encryption as Dish, not just DVB.

I mentioned what standard they were using (DVB & DCII) and agreed with you that they were scrambled (all the audio on Bell). Don't know what the issue is
