Hi Dag, Don't buy any card based on the stv0297 tuner such as the technisat cablestar. I've had very poor experience with them while tuning to QAM256 channels. There is a lot of packet loss while other cards works just fine. I've a satelco easywatch that works quite well but I didn't tested the CI tho.
