I'm about to start an experiment using MythTV. I've got my DVB-T setup
to a point where it does everything I want it to, but now I'd like to
add DVB-S to the mix. To make things a little more interesting, I'm
subscribing to a Pay TV service (SelecTV in Australia).
So, I've got 2 questions, which will determine exactly how I'm going to
feed my new pay tv subscription to Myth.
Firstly, does MythTV support DVB-S (yes) with encryption (not sure)?
Secondly, I know that SelecTV uses Irdeto 2 encryption. I know I need
to buy a DVB-S card with a CI slot, and I need to buy a CAM. Does
anyone have a working combination of these two for Irdeto 2 encryption?
For the DVB-S card, I'm looking at either a Technotrend S-1500 (with
CI expansion) or a TwinhanDTV Sat-CI. I've heard some bad things about
the Twinhan, but it is a lot easier for me to buy. As for the CAM, I
have no idea - I guess something from dvbshop.net that says Irdeto.
