[QUOTE="mm1352000, post: 1217937, member: 82144"] Hello and welcome Muscats My understanding is that VAST uses [B]CI+[/B] (as opposed to standard CI) [B]with pairing[/B] (ie. the smart-card/subscription is linked to the CAM). This would make it completely incompatible with a PC setup. Currently all PC tuners [with CI slots] on the market - including the 5990 that you linked - only support standard CI. There are none with CI plus support available. This is due to the inherent difficulty of securing content on a PC platform. I also note the comment on the CAM product page: In other words, that CAM is intended for professional rather than consumer applications. It would be complete overkill unless you wanted to view/record 8 services/channels simultaneously. Regards, mm [/QUOTE]
