[mythtvnz] Unencrypted Prime from Satellite?

[Simon Cantem]

Apparently there's some legal problems with them broadcasting it over
non-encrypted satellite because the sport broadcasts could go to
people outside of NZ where sky doesn't own the distribution rights.
They could possibly broadcast Prime over terrestrial, that's another
story. There's an article about it here:
