Default What DVB-S2 card with CI ?

Hello all!
I think topic says all, i need a DVB-S2 card with -working- CI. I read that the FireDTV / FloppyDTV are the best, but maybe someone knows a cheaper solution? Does the Technotrend S3200 work? I searched the forum and looks in the wiki. Doesnt know what card to choose.

Thanks for your help, sorry for my bad english

Is 140 euro too much? It costs about 190 here so I'm not sure what it costs in Germany.

It worked great, only selling it because we moved house and I no longer have satellite access.

nearly one year ago after a looooooong misery with cards from Technotrend, Twinhan, KNC and Hauppauge i finaly decided to buy my first floppydtv.

now i have 3 of them, one is a floppy-s2 and i will never ever give them back!
sure they cost more then the others. but quality is not cheap.

they are just great. and so is the support from digital-everywhere.

my advice: spend a few bucks more to buy a floppy/firedtv and get a card which simply works.

note: you can buy them directly from their webshop
