    How is this going to effect the support of Fire-DTV cards in future releases of Mediaportal?
    The support is allready there, and a lot of Team memdiaPortal Members also own fire and floppydtv cards.
    So we will surely not remove the support. ;)

    Is there a recommendation from Team Mediaportal for another DVB-S2 Card with a CI Slot?

    i got a suggestion :p how about TerreTec Cinergy S2 HD PCI CI and Hauppauge HVR-4000? Those are very common in stores, but i know issues when using newest drivers for the TerraTec one, not finding channels etc. Dunno if it's an actual error in the driver, or communication with MP.

    Who else is big on DVB-S2 hardware? who makes hardware for the STB which comes from providers? I would like to see a better selection of DVB-hardware for HTPCs...

    Both use seperate CI modules consuming a PCI slot or a USB device which isn't ideal.
    I didn't know the Cinergy S2 had an issue???
    BTW their S2 device is an OEM Twinhan - Mantis card.

    Not yet. :(

    What about this? ::: anysee E30PS2 Plus ::: and the external version ::: anysee E30S2Plus :::

    It sounds nice. Around the same price. Available in November 2009.

    Is it or will it be supported by MP?

    The anysee products currently don't descramble in MediaPortal due to lack of information from anysee and restricted subscription card support i.e. NDS for testing.
    A CAM solution is better as the anysee devices card reader only read a restricted number of emulated encryptions such a Conax, Viaccess & Irdeto.
    VideoCrypt (NDS) amoungst others certainly does not work and never would due to licensing issues.

    The currently supported CI devices in MediaPortal's TVServer are:

    Digital-Everywhere
    Twinhan (and clones)
    TechnoTrend (and clones)
    KNC1
    and Hauppauge's USB CI device (only 1 device is supported)

    Outside of that list we would need full SDK documentation as well as a wrapped DLL since we're using C#
