[QUOTE="Mercbac, post: 177528, member: 48233"] Eager to build a HTPC with dual tuner DVB-S2 and two subscriptions, I have been reading through everything I could find on the Hauppauge USB based "smart CI" solution. In combination with the HVR-4000 it seemed very promising, but today, the Swedish Komplett.se moved the expected first delivery date from 7 sept to 1 nov. *sucks* So is there anyone out there that knows of alternatives? I have been considering the Technotrend S2-3200 with their CAM reader, but there are too many posts about stability issues after hibernate that scare me (or is this more a WinXP thing, and could this work better on Vista's sleep mode?). The point is, a HTPC will be used by every family member and must be reliable and hassle free. Although that seems hard to combine with a dual tuner, dual smart-card setup for DVB-S2.... Eagerly awaiting the replies from the wonderful MediaPortal community. [/QUOTE]
