Thanks for your answer.

I forgot to write: I have only one free PCIe slot, two PCI slots and a
slot in the case whithout mainboard slot.

I think I will stick with the DigitalDevices hardware as the driver
should be able to allocate one CI module to more several tuner in the
future and the cards work with other CAM solutions.


Thanks again
