Hi.
I noticed the good discussion related to cardsharing recently. Unfortunately that thread was closed.
What I don't understand is why MediaPortal has to more prude about this than what the actual digital-tv providers require. All I want to do is to have 2 DVB tuners in my HTPC while using one subscription card for both of them. I can go to any electronics store here in Sweden and buy a dual tuner PVR that is certified by the digital-tv provider and get such functionality legally. Now, MediaPortal can do lots of fancy things but does not provide this basic functionality. Why? If it was hard or had not been done yet I could understand that. The developers have my full respect. But, when it seems to be just because an open source project decides to be more strict (with regard to cardsharing) than commericial products, I can't really figure that one out.
Anyway, I don't like piracy but I am all for local cardsharing within a single computer.
Just my opinion...
