hello guys,
I'm quite good with traditional sat system (cam patch, mosc, Ci)
but i don't know anything about pc dvb sat HW.
I was not able to find a FAQ on this particular item so please, if somebody knows where to find it, just says it.
I'm thinking to buy a pc -sat card (i like the idea of recording directly on the pc and then burning my DVD) and i need your suggestion on it.
here is my questions:
1)Do I need a PC SAT CARD with CI Interface to be able to watch scrambled Sat station ?
2)Do I need a PC SAT CARD with CI Inteface and use my Aston 1.05 and my regular subscrived smartcard to watch the related channels ? (the question may seems strange, but I heard that it is possible to use a smartmouse to communicate with the smartcard and the cam is emulated via sw, so every thing will work with a standard PCI PC SAT HW even w/o the CI interface
3) If the answare to the above questions are 'no' (which I suspect) then which PC sat HW you suggest ?
4) Since I own a desktop PC and a Laptop (2,4 GHz Pentium IV)
I 'd like to buy a USB card more than a PCI, do you think that a USB pc sat HW will give the same performance of a PCI card, as far as concerning cam emulation, smatcard-smartmouse communications, etc..?
After all what brand and model I need to buy and what brand and model I must NOT buy?
Thankyou and sorry for the long message!
