Hello list, I recently moved and my MythTV system with 3 analog tuner cards became kind of obsolete because I have no cable subscription anymore. Analog TV is being fased out in my area, so I want to get started with DVB-S as this gives me the most freedom. Being a complete newbie regarding satellite TV, I did some reading on this subject. I think I have it mostly figured out, but I wanted to get some things confirmed and some questions answered. To view all channels I need, I will need a subscription and a CAM. No problem so far. But, what cards would you advise me to buy? I browsed through this list searched Google and it seems the TechnoTrend budget S-1500 card and CI are quite well suported and capable of decrypting encrypted channels. Is this a card you would advise or are there better ones? For analog TV, almost everybody says "Buy a Haupauge PVR 350 or 500 card". Is there such a "must buy" card for DVB-S? Once/if I have it running, I want to do multiple tuner cards. I understand the differences between analog cable and satellite, and the limitation of the last regarding multiple endpoints. The question is: How well are multiple DVB-S cards supported? Does my second/third tuner card need to be one with a CI, or can the CAM of the first card be reused?, or Do I always need cards with a CI and a CAM (or card share hardware)?, or Is there some way to connect multiple tuner cards (with CI headers) with the same CI module? I hope I didn't ask too many questions at once. ;-) Thanks for taking the time to answer some of them. Best regards, Johan Braeken. _______________________________________________ linux-dvb mailing list linux-dvb@xxxxxxxxxxx http://www.linuxtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/linux-dvb
