My System: Sat TV : Astrx (ku band); Satellite : Mexsxt 3 PC: AMD Am2 4000+ 2GB ddr2 ram Winxp Sp2 MediaCenter 2005; DVB-S card: haven't decided

Thanks for all the replies!

There are DVB-S PCI cards with a CI slot.
All you need to do is buy a compatible Seca 2 CAM and insert the smartcard inside the CAM.
Check out our site sponsors for such a CAM.
But check first if the smartcard should be matched/married to the STB.
This is the part were i'm clueless, and there arent many newbie/beginner tutorials around. I'll be glad if you could recommend some good tutorials.

I've found some mediaguard2 CAM on your sponsor's site, but there aren't any CAM with both mediaguard2 and videoguard.

If i happen to find a mediaguard2+videoguard cam, will it work for all sats? or does it only work for a particular sat?

Do mediaguard2 and videoguard softcams even exist?
If so, how would i go about setting it up?

Is important that my smartcard matches/married the STB?
I don't quite understand.

I already have my smartcard + stb supplied by my sat tv, and i'm not looking for a new stb, just a pci dvb-s and a way to connect my sat dish to my hometheater-pc.
