DirecTV vs. Directivo

[Makhratchev, Konstantin]

I was under the impression that DirecTV and Directivo are two different
things...

It's very likely that the DirectTivo streams could be extracted in a 
similar fashion to SA. However, you will not catch me writing code 
for this - and I would say that anyone who releases such code is a 
fool waiting for a lawsuit.

As it stands, the ExtractStream/mplex combination will not work with 
the DirectTivo. There are several issues that will make it fail. 
Please discover for yourself what these issues are, I have no desire 
to assist in that effort.

I disagree with his legal opinion. This code would be fully 100% legal,
but, he seems nervous.

My advice to you would be to try to understand how ES works on the SA
and then try to adapt that for the DirectTivo. It can be done, but I
don't have a DirectTivo, so, I don't really know much about them.
