[QUOTE="mm1352000, post: 1121316, member: 82144"] Yes, exactly. You should be able to get a standard DVB-C tuner with a CI module/slot. For example: [url]http://www.buydvb.net/tbs5881-dvbt2tc-tv-tuner-ci-usb-box-p-101.html?cPath=4[/url] ...and a CAM that can decrypt Nagravision. You put the smartcard in the CAM, put the CAM in the CI slot, install MP (or other DVB software), scan for channels... and then all being well you should be able to watch all your channels on the PC. Beyond that, the world is your oyster. :) Some people also purchase what's called a smartcard reader which avoids the need for buying a CAM and tuner with a CI slot. This can be a significantly cheaper and more flexible approach. The downside is more complexity in the configuration process. Also, if you want to go down this route you will need to source information about how to do it from elsewhere. We don't permit discussions about this approach on our forums because it is a mechanism that pay TV pirates use for all sorts of naughty stuff. We could get into trouble if we were thought to be supporting such activities. [/QUOTE]
