Hello Oliver,
Thanks for your reply.
I could not find the PCIe cards you mentioned (L4M-Flex CI or L4M-Flex-Twin C) on the supported PCIe cards on:
http://www.linuxtv.org/wiki/index.php/DVB-C_PCIe_Cards#Supported_DVB-C_PCIe_Cards:
The two drivers for all their cards, based on generation you have the
ngene and the ddbridge driver.
If you search for ddbrige on the wiki you'll find what you seek.
http://linuxtv.org/wiki/index.php/Linux4Media_cineS2_DVB-S2_Twin_Tuner
try that page (though I had to type it, couldn't copy paste).
That's info about the drivers in general for their cards, Sinds you
mention DVB-C now, I thought you said dvb-s before, you'd have to look
at the C&T devices, the wikipage dedicated to the C&T devices is
http://linuxtv.org/wiki/index.php/Digital_Devices_DuoFlex_C%26T
Same base card, different tuners, same driver. Search for ddbridge and
you will find all you may need to know.
Perhaps it's better to go for a USB device as there are more options to choose from
http://www.linuxtv.org/wiki/index.php/DVB-C_USB_Devices
I strongly prefer PCI(e) based cards over USB, especially for permanent
installations, but to each his own.
Oliver
But still it's not easy to pick the best one that suits a beginner needs.
Best regards,
Firas

Hello there!
I am new to IPTV and Video4Linux. I need to implement an IPTV solution that would stream DVB satellite channels in a network. What is the satellite receiver do you recommend me to use on my Linux Centos 6.4 server? The satellite receiver should support encrypted channels. Is it better to use a USB or PCIe receiver? Another question, I'm thinking of using VLC for streaming, do you recommend a better streaming software for my case?
Thanks a lot,
Firas
I'm personally very satisfied with linux4media.de devices. If your
product of choice isn't there, look at digitaldevices.de, same company,
different frontend. But do buy via linux4media as that counts as a linux
sale ;)
I personally have the L4M F4mini module (with mini -> pcie adapter
allowing me potential future options) with currently an L4M-Flex S2. I
only have 1 for now, but plan to upgrade to 4 laters, giving me 8 tuners
in single PCI-e slot. Since you say you need crypto, you could use the
L4M-Flex CI or L4M-Flex-Twin CI module to do that.
