[QUOTE="Spif, post: 98080, member: 17833"] 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.

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.
