None of the North American providers allow PC use of a CAM. A CI DVB card in Europe is sometimes allowed depending on the provider's policies but in Canada you're SOL for LEGAL satellite. However, if you're in TO or somewhere closer to the US border, you may be able to use an ATSC tuner card to pickup US OTA channels.

No, you have to install and configure additional plugin's manually....the process on doing this depends on if you use TV2 or TV-Server....a lot of things in MediaPortal is manual-config, and will take a bit of effort to get it working...

My experiences: 1) When the user has already installed a db the installation is not that easy. I suggest using an installationless database where the executables are just put to the application directory like sqlite. 2) Empty db-acc-pws are not accepted. So it does not work with a passwordless account. 3) If you choose a non...
