hi,
I have YES (sattelite) and just bought a computer for the purpose of building a PVR using MythTV over linux.
I think it is stupid to get the analog output an re-encode it. i preffer to get the digital output directly.
so I preffer to use a Card inside my PC instead of using the STB. is it possible ? what if i unsolder the CAM from the STB (just asking)?
If i have to use the STB, then is there a way to get digital video from it with/without opening it ?
Is there a way of changing it's chunnels not using a remote control ?
anyone ?
and another matter:
i couldn't find the XBTV mentioned here, but found a 'tv_grab_il' (perl script) that gets xmltv data from tv.walla.co.il
however i can't read the hebrew text. it does not seem to be any hebrew encoding, including unicode.
any idea ?
thanks, erez.

Yet again, a "CI card" is *not* the subscriber card you got from Hot/Yes: it's a rather large PCMCIA-sized card which does the decryption logic (and this is what they call CAM). In your case (Hot/Yes), the CAM is soldiered into the set-top box and it's where you insert the subscriber card.
By the way, did you manage to use the HOT/Yes CI card with your PVR?
In systems where the CAM is really modular, it looks like this:
