We are talking about decrypting allready "decoded" data and that IS something different, not?Besides I suspect you had a spelling error when you said the DD tuner only decrypt one channel? I guess it should have been "decode"? Besides the text you quote are aslo wrong when it assume one card = one tuner. Most or all DD tuner cards have two tuners and some can be linked together on the same "main board" increasing the mumber of possible tuners to 4  or 6 with SI connected (6 or 8 without an SI) The wiki does not take this into consideration and use outdated asumptions.So, barly able to admitt that the description was plain wrong you choose to moan about those pointing it out.No I can't comment, No I can't submit changes. I have no rights for this with my common accout. And Finally, No i do not consider myself knowledgefull enough to start editing such documents as I there are lots of big holes in my knowledge here ( I would just make an arse out of my self by putting in plain wrong statements<img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite1" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":)" />).I do contribute other places quite a lot but never, ever do pull the "I do this for free so stop complaining and start contributing yourself"I suspect your spelling slipped again as I assume you are talking MP's ability to do multi decoding not decrypting? Just follwing the latest updates on the Wiki here.I thought this section decribed software AND hardware features? I find both features most relevant for the wiki. I gues the best solution could be to add a column in the table to add MTD ability?Dedicated PVR's have had multi tuners connected to the same CI for years. Nothing new there. But we have been drooling <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite1" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":)" />Is that the only reason you supose FloppyDTV is popular? This feature were hardly known when I bought my card. The choise were easy as 9 of 10 recommended it. That's how most people choose low volume items like this: word of mouth.Even when I was informed about the multi decoding ability several people inisited that this was a miracle machine decoding and descrambling any channel on the same satelite and provider. Not a very limitied feature where only channels on the same channel were available.Finally a couple of questions:- You say that channels on the same transponder can be decoded/descrambeld at the same time. I have allways assumed that Transponder = LNB. a Quad LNB would be A Quad transponder ( but in my terminology still one transponder). From what you say that doesn't make much sense. Is one transponder = one frequency (and possibly some Hor/Ver polarisation shit I never came around to check out)?- I assume decoding is about getting a pure data signal off a polarized, multiplexed carrier frequnecy, is that right?- Decrypting/descrambling, is that done in the actual tuner or are there dedicated circuits for this after the tuner and by lack of multituners systems it's become part of the tuner for simplicity?</blockquote>
