[mythtv-users] DVB-S cards

[NINjak]

Hi Jelle and Morten,

Sorry I have no answers for your questions, I wish I had because i'm
thinking about building a mythtv setup for myself with 2 DVB-S cards in it
so i can watch AND record at the same time.

The questions I had and have are:
1) Does a CAM with smartcard really work in a pci DVB-S card setup with
mythtv/linux? When the answer is yes: wich DVB-S card should I get.
2) If I put 1 CAM with smartcard in a CI slot can I share that one
(through software) so the other DVB-S card doesn't need one.

I know that DUOLABS got a DIABLO CAM and with a base station you can
(home)share your cams and smartcards (up to 6) but this is a expensive
solution so maybe other options maybe "better" then just a pc with a
mythtv setup. In europe there are not much FTA channels you realy want to
watch. As an example here in the Netherlands you NEED a smartcard to just
watch the (normal) dutch channels.

If someone can point us to the right direction.... thnx in advance.

Are there any caveats I should be aware of?
