Even the photo says otherwise. This is the one I mean: http://www.netup.tv/en-EN/dual_dvb-s2-ci_card.php If what you say was true, (I wish it would), if it weren't a "budget" card, I wouldn't call it a rip-off -- it would be a pretty neat piece of HW. Still a bit pricey, but within limits. Unfortunately, from what I've gathered from the site, announcements and mails with the manufacturer, it is just a dual budget card. If so, it is a rip-off. :) -- Dave -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-media" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
