Does anybody know what I can expect from a DVB-C board in Sweden (COMHEM)?

If I can only make one (decrypted) recording at a time, what are the
possibilities for improving that?
If I buy another board, I still only have one subscription (smartcard). So
it doesn't matter if I buy a card with a CAM interface or one without, I
can't use the second CAM interface.
I can't create my own smartcard (any more).
I don't think there are any FTA channels in my cable network.
Can cardsharing be used together with VDR (I guess it would be OK as I pay
for my subscription)?

Any other ideas?
