[mythtv-users] Two DVB-S cards, one CI?

Is there any way to cobble together a solution which allows you to
record two encrypted channels at once with two DVB-S cards, one CI and
one (legal) pay-tv card?

Can two DVB-S cards share a CI, and use it at the same time?

or,

I assume recording one or two encrypted streams, without decrypting
them, isn't a problem as the DVB-S card should feed you the stream for
spooling to disk even though it is unwatchable.

Is there a way to access a CI in an 'offline' mode - pass it the
prerecorded encrypted stream from disk rather than 'live' from the DVB-S
card's satellite input?
(This would require 'remembering' details like the serviceid of the
channel the program was recorded from, but this could be done.)


Cheers
Neil
