Hi,
I presently have a TechnoTrend S2-3200 (DVB-S2) tuner with conditional access module and I was thinking of adding another (or alternative; FireDTV possibly). I've never played with multiple tuners before so I am not really sure of the problems I may encounter.
Ideally I would like to be able to watch/record two channels at the same time (FTA or Subscription), I know this has likely been touched upon before but on searching the forums I could not find an answer:-
1.) Is it possible to access the smartcard via a phoenix card reader and software CAM (running NDSCAM, or similar) from each tuner?
This as an alternative to using a CAM attached to each card with independant subscription cards. I have been working on the assumption that the smartcard is only accessed when tuning to a channel as opposed to constantly while watching an encrypted channel but this may be incorrect!
2.) Can this work in MP, does anybody have a working solution/alternative?
Many Thanks,
John
