Would the DRM in your set top box know how many devices it is transmitting to?

This wireless spec sounds like a wireless version of HDMI. So you buy an Wireless HDMI sender which you plug into the back of your STB, and a load of receivers, one for each TV in your house. That way you can send Sky HD pictures to all your TV sets from one subscription. Similar to what people used to do with analogue TV senders.

In any case, I doubt that Sky would be that bothered, as all the TVs in the house will still show the same channel.
