Yeah, I had a feeling this will be the answer. :( I know that FreeBox, 
also operating in France did the same for MBAFF, and it was 
integrated... well, I think I don't have the same kind of money as a 
company with a few million subscribers, so, I will have a deeper look at 
the code :O

Thx again,
