[mythtv-users] CI+

[Mark Wormgoor]

We've had CI+ in the Netherlands for about 6 months now (I think).
Don't expect it to ever work on a pc. None of the vendors will allow
storage of CI+ recordings in an unencrypted format. Most likely, even
MCE will never get support for this. Your only recording option is to
get a CI+ specific DVR.

Kind regards,

Mark
