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

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

Hi all,

I'm about to build my own vdr box in order to replace (for better :-)
the official MediaGuard decoder for Canal Satellite here in France. I'm
in the process of selecting the right components before moving forward.

Picking the right CAM seems to be tricky. I had a careful look at the
cam support as described at ftp://ftp.cadsoft.de/vdr/Developer/cams.txt.
Apparently, there's no choice (at least for me !). It will be a Magic
Module since I want to decrypt SECA2-encrypted channels.

Could you please confirm ? Maybe cams.txt is not completely up to date.
For instance, it does not confirm Magic Module is ok for vdr versions
1.2.x. I would be glad to get feedbacks from subscribers to Canal
Satellite or Canal Digital.

2 more questions and I'm done :
- I will go for a PCI CI attached to my Nova card. Is there any
specific hardware version number I should be careful at ?
- I understand PentaCrypt is the Magic Module firmware to use with VDR.
But which version since 1.09 is outdated by 1.10 and 1.11 ?

Thanks for sharing your knowledge.

Cheers.

Laurent
