[QUOTE="mm1352000, post: 804744, member: 82144"] Hi That is correct. :) The CI slot does not read the card - you buy a CAM to insert into the CI slot, and the smartcard from your provider goes into the CAM. What you should be concerned about is whether the tuner that you buy supports the CAM that you buy. Do you mean encryption standards? If so, there are *many*. Irdeto, SECA, BetaCrypt, NDS, Nagravision... the list goes on. The smart card may be labelled with an encryption standard logo, else check the transponder details on [URL="http://en.kingofsat.net/"]King Of Sat[/URL]. What kind of restrictions are you thinking of? The setup would have similar capabilities to an STB. Depends on the CAM and tuner that you buy. DVB-S2 and 3D are not related. 3D is a content standard whereas DVB-S2 is a transmission standard. The right question would be "does MediaPortal support showing 3D content?", to which I believe the answer is "yes". mm [/QUOTE]
