[mythtv-users] Are there any Capture Card / Digi Box combinations where the card can control the Digibox?

Note that this pack has different CAM, not TC CX, but of course it
should also work ok.

You connect the CI-module-card to the tuner card with a cable, and the
CI-module holds your CAM, which holds your pay-tv-card. This hardware
does the descrambling. Check if you need the longer extender cable.

The dvb-tuner card does not connect to video card by any cables (does
its stuff with the PCI). And as it says on the text, the CI-module card
has a dummy PCI-connector, so it can be placed on the back of the
computer.
