[vdr] Re: What CAM for SECA2 (Canal Satellite) ?

[Laurent Farcy <laurent.farcy@free.fr>]

Hi all,

Thx to your help and after reviewing the driver code, I understand 
conditional access on top of a budget ci is not supported by the dvb 
driver (legacy and kernel). So, let's forget the budget card and go for 
a TT full-featured.

I'll take a 1.6 revision since it holds the j2 pinback and gives me the 
opportunity to get a s/video or rgb output. I can buy one on dvbshop.tv. 
But they do not sell any CI, at least at the moment. Since CAM support 
in VDR seems to only work fine with a PCI CI, I was wondering where to 
find this piece of hardware.

It comes bundled with the budget but it is not available alone. Is it 
because it does not fit a full-featured card ? But then, only the 3.5'' 
ci remains. And VDR does not seem to really like it. Is this a deadlock 
or am i just missing something ?

Once again, thx for your help.

Laurent
