    MorphOS: Interest in DVB-S playback software? (Update) 
At the title link, MorphZone published information by Ralph Schmidt about a MorphOS program for DVB-S playback (support for DVB-T and DVB-C could be added by some further work as well). It's been used for prototyping the technology and thus not fully polished yet to be useful for sale. 
 
Therefore there is the question if there is a big enough interest for such a program to justify polishing it to sell it. A few unsharp cam pictures of it with a down-scaled window are available at MorphOS-News.de. A poll for the interest in this software will be added at MorphZone as soon as some technical difficulties will be solved. 
 
Update: (11:18, 11.02.06, snx) 
Meanwhile the poll is online at MorphZone and can be found on the left side of the main page.

The offer is valid for the purchase of a FastATA 4000 MK-III, FastATA 1200 MK-III or FastATA ZIV. According to Elbox, their FastATA controllers - unlike the aforementioned solutions - do also support PIO-3, PIO-4 and PIO-5 modes.
