Hey all,
I'm going to build a new HTPC with the Zotac ZBOx nano AQ01. The AQ01 did't have a pci-e slot, so for Live - TV I need a USB SAT card with CI slot(ORF).
I have two cadidates the TechnoTrend TT-connect S2-3650 CI and the DVBSky S960C.
Are there any known problems with the cards? Which one is better?
Really thanks in advance to everyone!

    Hello and welcome chgamauf :)

    With MP1/TVE 3 there are known problems with the TechnoTrend and the DVBSky CI/CAM is not supported.
    With MP2 native TV both should work.

    Thanks,
    I read about the problems with the TechnoTrend an MP1.
    For the DVBSky it is hard to find information.
    With MP2 also the CI of the DVBSky should work?

    Are there any alternatives to these two?

    It should not be. We list all the tuners which support CI or DiSEqC in our wiki.

    Yes.

    Are there any alternatives to these two?
    For USB DVB-S/S2 with CI?
    Only really the TBS 5980 CI. TerraTec S7 is a clone of the TechnoTrend.

    What is about the TBS 5980?
    Is it a good alternative?
    Has anyone this box?
    Yes, I have one.
    It will work with MP1 if you use this patch:
    https://forum.team-mediaportal.com/threads/tbs-ci-cam-support-and-other-improvements.103276/

    It will work without patching in MP2 with native TV.

    Hello,
    test the TechnoTrend S2-3650 CI, according http://wiki.team-mediaportal.com/1_MEDIAPORTAL_1/11_Preparing_Your_System/01_Supported_TV_Cards and I have two basic problems.

    1) the unknown time TVService turned off. Windows Log reports error: TVService service terminated unexpectedly.
    2) If the start channel coding, which can not be decoded. Then do not work any channels or free channels. It must be restarted TVService

    Does anyone have a similar experience?
    Thanks.

    The tuner always seems to be returning an error when TV Server tries to start it:
    [2014-03-18 18:14:15,952] [Log ] [DVB EPG timer] [INFO ] - dvb: RunGraph returns: 0x8007001F

    Have you tried to use it without the CAM?
