Anyway, you will be taking a big chance if it is in Videoguard (NDS).
My recommendation is to save your money on buying PCI card and CAM and just use the analogue AV output from your receiver and a video card with AV inputs and a software application like Nero to record to the PC.
There only info on my smartcard is the barcode and some numbers. No mention of any encryption system.

I thought it uses both mediaguard2 and videoguard 'cause thats whats mentioned on lyngsat.com.

However I've asked around and foundout that Dreambox DM600PVR is indeed compatible with my local sat tv's smartcard. Does this info give any hint on what encryption my sat tv uses?

I'm yet give up my first preference since i already have a htpc sitting around. Looking forward for all your ideas and suggestions.

Thanks!!
