Yeah, that's the Nagravision that the article mentions at the end. There were programs that could use a TV capture card and decode it in real time on a 486DX2. They worked pretty well (I felt ok using it because we already had Canal+ but it was on the living room TV and my computer was on the opposite side of the house.)
"meuh meuh TV" was a famous one

#33The canal+ bumper jingle mentioned in the article goes incredibly hard. It's a shame we don't see anything like this on modern big tv. https://fabiensanglard.net/discret11/jingle_clear.mp4
The (current, I believe) BBC News jingle is a real banger.
THIS IS THE BBC! DO NOT LISTEN TO THE OTHERS, THEY ARE THE FALSE PROPHETS!

It references the Greenwich pips played on BBC radio stations so people know they're on time: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Greenwich_Time_Signal
