[QUOTE="infinite.loop, post: 518331, member: 10723"] As i said a few times, i also own and use the Nova-HD-S2. It is a very good card and works nicely BUT it has no CI. You have to pay extra and buy that "WinTV CI" USB thingy which has a few problems. [LIST] [*]first revision (which is still sold) seems to be very unstable - i have that one here [*][B][COLOR="Red"]you can only tune ONE channel at the time. multitune is impossible even if your CAM supports it[/COLOR][/B] - thats K.O. in my book :( [*]it is very slow - tuning encrypted channels takes ~3times longer than with the floppy :S [*]it can "freeze" from time to time. only way to reset is un/replug it from your PC [/LIST] It is possible that with optimizing the support for the WinTV CI in Tv-Server it could work a bit better. But the limitation that multitune does not work is allready reason enought to not buy it. :( [/QUOTE]
