DVB-S FTA and FTV possible with Multidec Plugins

Thanks Sub and mikaelgu.

I'llbe looking into this. Anyway the Phoenix reader is a lot cheaper than the Hauppauge one! Also, maybe the phoenix and CnxCAM will support more than one DVB card on one subscription card???

Again Thanks for the info, and keep us posted on you finding!

Don't know about multiple subscription cards but multiple tuners shouldn't be a problem. To support multiple subscription cards I think you'd need to have several CnxCAMs running pointing to several com ports. If that's doable, then why not.
Then again, if you had some channels encrypted with Conax and others with say SECA you could have two card readers on two com ports and CnxCAM using one and PMCAM using the other... Mostly valid for DVB-S, I guess.

Well, well, well...
Finally got all "up and running"
Good news is that the USB phoenix reader works great, CnxCAM gets all necessary packages from the program stream (ECM and EMM packages) and everything looks great...
But it just isn't decoding squat, so no go with CnxCAM and BDA drivers. Haven't tested with "regular" drivers but the developer (turns out he's a country mate of mine) says it'll work. Of course that's no use for us as GB only works with BDAs. He also said he hadn't tested with BDA drivers too much and when I kinda asked him to maybe do so, I haven't heard from him ever since. Of course this doesn't mean that other similar cams wouldn't work with BDA drivers..
