-Description:
-
-The 'sky' plugin implements a new device for VDR, which is based on the
-MPEG2 encoder card described at linuxtv.org/mpeg2/kfir.xml. It
-allows you to connect the analog a/v output of your Sky Digibox to VDR,
-so that you can enjoy the full recording flexibility of VDR with your
-Sky subscription. Note that this is NOT something that does anything
-illegal, like decrypting the Sky programme without a subscription. You
-will need a Sky Digibox and a valid subscription in order to use this
-plugin.
-
-The 'kfir' module must be loaded with the option 'streamtype=4' to make it
-produce a Transport Stream.
-
-The Digibox is remotely controlled through VDR via LIRC (see lirc.org).
-The file lircd.conf.sky contains the remote control codes necessary to
-control the Digibox.
-
-In order to access the Sky channels VDR needs to know the channel number
-under which each channel is stored in the Sky Digibox. These numbers are
-stored in the file 'channels.conf.sky', together with the channel IDs as
-derived from the actual channel data and the names under which the EPG
-data for each channel can be found (see below). Copy this file to your
-plugins config directory, in a subdirectory named 'sky', as in
-
-/video/plugins/sky/channels.conf.sky
-
-The Sky EPG is available on the Internet at http://www.bleb.org.
-The Perl script getskyepg.pl extracts the EPG data from these pages
-and sends it to VDR via an SVDRP connection. The channel names as
-used on the bleb.org pages are defined in the channels.conf.sky file.
-You can keep your EPG data up-to-date by entering a call to getskyepg.pl
-into your /etc/crontab. Call 'getskyepg.pl -h' for a list of options.
-The getskyepg.pl script requires the programs /usr/bin/wget and /usr/bin/logger
-to be installed on your system.
