I have two usb cards, one with ci. I have a cam that can decrypt multiple streams, but if I am recording a encrypted channel and I tune to another encrypted channel, I get channel not available. It is possible to tune two encrypted channels with that setup?

Pairing is between the CAM and the smartcard, it's not paired to the tuner or TV so you can place your CAM to any device and it still decrypts. I've never tried to use DVB-S card for decrypting DVB-C stream but I don't see why it wouldn't work. > How many channels can be typically decrypted at the same time?

VDR asks from the CAM how many streams it can decrypt so it depends on the CAM. > My goal is to be able to watch one channel and record at least other 2 > channels.

I have two TDA10023 single tuner DVB-C PCI cards and one TBS6285 quad tuner DVB-C PCIe card with CI attached to one of the TDA10023 cards. Decryption works on any card but only one channel at the time with my Conax CAM. Please note that at least TBS6285 is still early development and it's not that reliable or error free. I have constant bit errors on one of the four tuners and occasional freezes that require kernel module reloading. -- Kende _______________________________________________ vdr mailing list vdr@xxxxxxxxxxx http://www.linuxtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/vdr _______________________________________________ vdr mailing list vdr@xxxxxxxxxxx http://www.linuxtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/vdr
