I wasn't entirely impressed with the Open Rights Group's response, either. See my comment on http://www.openrightsgroup.org/blog/2009/bbc-seeks-tv-encryption-through-the-back-door There seems to be a lot of FUD-spreading about breaking existing Freeview boxes. That said, I'm no fan of the proposal either, but I can at least see where it's coming from. Does anyone know how the lookup tables compression/encryption (as proposed by the BBC) compares to the encryption of the actual TV signal (which seems to be what all the commercial channels are going to do)? ie will the BBC's broadcasts be more or less open/accessible than the commercial ones?
