The card comes with 2 tuners (CineS2 / DuoFlex S2 / Satix S2) and there are
version with 4 tuners. The CI is really independent and has such, the working
schema will have to be expanded.

With this hardware, it would be possible to decrypt several services from
several transponders (tuners).

Also, this CI would allow one to decrypt services with a card not design to
support a CI addon.

So, is your comment a definite no on this topic, or is there room for talks ?
