[QUOTE="JayX, post: 77663, member: 187483"] thanks for the posts. yes, CI stands for Common Interface, and is for inserting CAMS into, which means... more channels if you want to pay for the CAMs (and then the cards, or use a programmer). sure you can emulate, but i'm sure the hardware solution will cover more than software can atm. OG: not sure if we're talking about the same models, but the TwinHan VisionDTV card is only £55 from [url=http://www.dvbshop.net/product_info.php?cPath=1_12&products_id=128]DVBshop[/url], and as this contains a hardware CI slot.. seems better VFM, unless the rest of the card is inferior to the skystar2. i don't really want to spend more than a hundred quid as you said, as the PC solution is going to be for exporting HDTV (i can't afford a quali-tv box, its just too much money) via component to my TV, and for 4:2:2 broadcasts and recording to the HDD. i'll probably run dual or quad lnbs, so the PC will pretty much get as much as my receiver(s). i intend to build a decent sized arsenal over time :) whilst this will be my first venture into DVB, i used to be a analog sat kid back in the day (literally kid, i was only about 9 or 10 when messing around with a 1.2 odd metre dish in the back yard with my dad, mainly around intelsat and eutelsat as well as astra etc) so lots of new stuff to learn about, but at least a lot of the basics are the same. its been too long since i've heard or used the words azimuth and clarke belt :D glad DVB is looking to be "fun" again, i've missed pointing a dish to the skies to see whats out there :) [/QUOTE]
