[QUOTE="OldBen, post: 966756, member: 194242"] I think the only thing worrying me is the CI+ support, the CAM I have says CI+ on it, but it worked fine in the Duo which I understood did not have CI+ support. It seems the CI/CI+ support comes from the manufacturer driver level not from E2, so Xtrend does not work or is unstable (plus battery) so that seems to be out. Support for VU+ is a little more unclear, I see some people in Germany and Netherlands saying it works with Solo2/Duo2 and others that have issues. The Mutant HD2400 does seem to work with CI+ as they have done something "creative" I would guess in their drivers, and I also read that the GigaBlue can work with CI+. I kind of want the transcoding option though so I could run XMBC to the kitchen without a lot of work to pull a new Coax, and it seems that only the ET10K, Duo2, Solo2 (some complaints) and HD2400 do transcode. Its all a bit confusing to say the least. To add confusion I thought our old subscription card was CSLink (now owned by skylink and cards defunct) but its not, its a skylink card and an older one that is known on forums to work with softcam and the card slot it seems. So having just bought a new card (latest standard, needs the CI+ CAM), maybe I should have paid a separate fee to recover the old one! Getting bit bored now with going round in circles, might order a Technomate 5402 for £95 and live with one tuner and no streaming... or then again maybe that HD2400... [/QUOTE]
