You need a CI adapter an an CAM adapter card for the smartcard. Alternatively there are standalone smartcard readers (USB/serial). But these are not working without some legally doubtfull patches/plugins of VDR. Beside the skipping of CI and CAM (which is patent violaton but not realy illegal) these can use illegal software keys, which is illegal in most of the world. Therefore nobody here on the list will give you any added detailes. The official method is bying a CI adapter and CAM card for your DVB card. Even this is a violation of some provider rules as it's not certified by them. regards Peter -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
