My Cable co (StarHub Singapore) uses NagraVision Cards and CAMs which

DVB-C card + CAM combo that can support this setup including grabbing
the periodic key updates automatically?
If you get yourself a Nagra CAM, use it in an STB (that does NOT have
built-in Nagra) with your second card, it should theoretically be bonded
to that CAM. No warranties, though, since I haven't tried it.
So to do this I'd have to find a cable STB that doesn't have an
integrated CAM and use it to bond a Nagra CAM and my subscription
SmartCard together, than I could use that CAM + SmartCard combo together
with a supported DVB-C card + CI to watch cable on the computer, they
don't make it easy do they.
With this would decryption key updates be automatic or would I have to
put the CAM + SmartCard back in the STB periodically to receive updates?
I'm nervous about buying all this and having it not work.
The other alternative is finding the boxkey of your STB and using a
softcam with a Phoenix interface to read your card. This I know works.
Is there a HowTo on this, it's my least favored option as there seems to
be some stigma attached to softcams, presumably because you could use it
to do something dubious, but if they've made it impossible to do it any
other way...
Another thing I found is that Telewest in the UK also use NagraVision
and there are reports of people getting it working with the Dragon CAM
and a FireDTV box under Windows, could I use a Dragon CAM with another
card or have the FireDTV drivers moved on since January 06?
