The ideal case for you is to use a dvb-s/dvb-s2 card, a card reader and a
YES smart card.
you will not need an STB (memir) for this, and you get the digital signal
with no quality loss.
you will also probably be able to watch/record multiple programs with one
dvb-s card if they share frequencies (both myth and vdr support that).
i am not a YES subscriber, and i have never done that with YES, but i think
i read about people which have done this.
AFAIK It won't work. YES uses NDS encryption, which is not supported by
that type of hardware. There are companies that sell digital satellite
packages to that do include encryption cards that allow you to provide
your own hardware, but they don't sell to Israel.
I don't know if YES program guides can be downloaded off of the Internet
or not, the English ones can not.
I don't know if there are legal issues here. but as i see it, you are not
stealing if you have legit smart cards from YES.
That's correct. But only with companies that let you use your own hardware.
YES does not.
BTW, if you want channels 1, 10,22,23,33 and 99, they may be available over
the air as digital TV in April. I say may because when the Kenesset wanted
to include channel 9 (Russian language Israeli commerical channel), both HOT
and YES said they would go out of business if they did, they dropped it.
Expect there to be legal challenges.
