<br>Thanks Jose and Daniel:<br><br>I'll probably go for the TT-2300 and take my chances with finding a compatible CI and CAM. My cable company does not offer a smart-card without renting a cable box (although they do not pair the two). Thus, I will simply stick the cable box in the closet and use the smart-card by itself. This is cheap and I have no problem with this arrangement.
<br><br>I will examine the web-site of the DVR application for additional CAM information but if someone here knows more, I would be beholden.<br><br>Gisli<br><br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Jan 4, 2008 3:56 PM, Daniel Kristjansson <
