Hi, I think you did not get my question. I am not looking for software. I am looking for a hardware brand and chipset that I can order. I want to make sure that I buy a card that is well supported before I buy. Do you by any chance mean to say that I can buy a budget card and still run vdr? That is also okay by me. Which card do you recommend? Also I wish to view pay channels with it. Please also mention the price and from where I can get it.

I shall google and figure out how to obtain it. I am a poor entrepreneur and I am hoping that using the card I can do some hacking. So every penny saved goes towards supporting myself a lil more...

You need a CI adapter an an CAM adapter card for the smartcard. Alternatively there are standalone smartcard readers (USB/serial). But these are not working without some legally doubtfull patches/plugins of VDR. Beside the skipping of CI and CAM (which is patent violaton but not realy illegal) these can use illegal software keys, which is illegal in most of the world. Therefore nobody here on the list will give you any added detailes. The official method is bying a CI adapter and CAM card for your DVB card. Even this is a violation of some provider rules as it's not certified by them. regards Peter ___ vdr mailing list vdr@linuxtv.org http://www.linuxtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/vdr

[vdr] vdradmin-am and autotimer
Hi, I'm trying to use the autotimer so I can enter in my favorite shows and have them automatically recorded. (I think this is functionality VDR itself needs to have but that is another discussion). If I use the search box on the bottom, left, vdradmin-am 3.4.7b lists the show I want. If I click AutoTimer, type in the same search pattern (i.e. Star Trek Next Generation), enable Title, Subtitle, Description and then hit "Test", nothing is listed. What am I missing here? Is there a plug-in needed on vdr to make this work? Can we try to bring together some documentation for vdradmin-am? I searched high and low and didn't find anything.

Never mind if it is a violation but I have no money to buy an FF card. Get it? And mostly legal and illegal is defined by whether you actually commercialize something and make money out of it. Youtube has so many bootleg videso but NP since nobody makes money out of it. So for me to view pay channels with a budget card, what do I do? Can I get a generic USB CI card?
