The filter limit, is that for the Nova (budget) or Nexus (Premium) or both ?
And is the number 32 the number of PIDs to pass through or to filter out ?

What is a Nova CI ? The Nova card doesn't seem to have the connector for
connecting a CI (or maybe I looked at a different version). I've seen
Kiss PCI receiver with built-in CI as well as with built-in CAM. The
latter existed in different versions for each encryption system.

Sorry for the basic questions. I did try to read the FAQs first though.

Kind regards
