Hi all, I’m after a bit of advice.
I have a legit card and cam for some, ahem, channels on Hotbird which I frequently want to record from. ;-)
I use a PVR-Ready sat receiver, record to usb hard drive and then convert the recordings (to DivX) for playback on my Windows 7 MC PC.
In the past, i’ve used an MVision MV-9085 (a pain to convert the proprietary .irm files...) and a Comag SL100HD receiver (records in a more PC friendly format, but even with the latest firmware, it frequently crashes when recording, losing the recording...)
So to cut a long story short, I am after a new PVR ready Sat receiver with a CI slot (x2), PC friendly recording format (i.e. not a 3 stage process like the MVision) and reliable (i.e. crash free!)
I was thinking of getting one of those Technomate TM 5400 CI+ USB SUPER receivers off eBay and was wondering if that would fit my bill?
I know it only has one CI slot, but the main criteria is the ability to record scrambled channels to hard drive (preferably with the encryption stripped out of the recording), and most importantly, to record reliably.
Would the 5400 CI+ Super be able to do this?
Thanks in advance for your advice!
