smartcard sharing between 2 PCI cards within 1 PC.

Hey guys,

I have looked everywhere and can't seem to find anything anywhere regarding sharing a smartcard within 1 PC. I have a DVB-s2 card but without CI function but I really want to watch the SKY HD channels that I subscribed to. I can watch all my SD sky channels with my DVB-S card tho, which does have an attached CI.

Basically I wanna get rid of ALL equipment in my livingroom other then my HTPC and 42" HD TV but keep all the funcionality I had before.

heres what Im using withn my HTPC computer:

Operating system: Windows XP MCE 2005
DVB software: DVBVIEWER Version 3.2.4
PCI card 1: Technotrend budget DVB-S with CI
PCI card 2: KNC1 DVB-S2 with BDA Driver without CI
CAM Module: Dragon Cam
Smartcard: SKY UK (full package inc HD)

Please HELP lol

PS IM NOT A NEWBIE to this, I've tried looking everywhere but have now dicided to ask...maybe I've just been thick and its staring me in the face but I need help. I realy don't mean to seem 'lazy'
