Pondering my options, I see two of them : (1) obtain a PCMCIA slot, and stuff my CAM in there. This may be the easiest route to take, as the CAM will still be there to do most of the work. I would be loosing a PCI slot however, and the capability of using two tuners (anyone know of a PCI-Express based adapter card ?) (2) get a smartcard programmer, connected serially or through USB, and port "poor man's cam". It looks like I wouldn't be able to use the CAM in this scenario, and it would need to be emulated (which, as I understand it, is the bulk of "poor man's cam" coding). are there more - easier - options ? has either one of these been tried ? anybody interested in starting a project for this ? my ultimate goal is having a MythTV box handling multiple recordings, descrambling them afterwards loosing live-TV would not be too big a problem, as I prefer to watch recorded stuff and skip the ads Luc _______________________________________________ linux-dvb mailing list linux-dvb@xxxxxxxxxxx http://www.linuxtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/linux-dvb
