DVB-C USB Card with CI-slot (1 Viewer)

[ulischultz]

I am looking for a working DVB-C USB Interface with CI-Slot.
Has anyone a working device?

Does this one work:
TechniSat CableStar Combo HD CI [4105/3733]

Thanks and best regards!

Hello,

I am also very interested in this card. But, it does not seem supported by the TV-Server module.
Also how it has this card at startup ?
I have a DVB-T device and each time the PC I am forced to disconnect and reconnect it. This is not very practical.

Thank you for your comments for DVB-C USB Card

Terratec H7 should work with MP 1.0.2 from what I have read. I will order this card tonight. Use an old driver (not the newest one). What happens when the HTPC goes into standby is still unclear to me, though.

I have not figured out if this card can do multiple simultaneous decodings of channels on the same mux. Anyone?

USB powered devices are tricky. I solved the problem using a Master-Slave multiple socket device. When the PC goes into standby or is powered down, all Slave-connected devices are powered down. Only tested for the case when the PC is powered down, but might work for a PC in standby as well. The Slave power off current can be adjusted.
