All broadcasters in Finland are using DVB subtitles except "Nelonen Media" on all their channels and MTV Media on "Sub" channel. Yes even MTV3 seems to be DVB subtitled now.

Even after pairing you can move card+CAM combo from system to another. CI+ CAM does work on CI slot, but depending on your operators settings the CAM might require a CI+ slot to decrypt. Requirement for CI+ slot is something that can be selected on channel basis. I have seen CI+ slots only available on Television sets and set top boxes. Not on VDR hardware. On my provider all HD channels and some of the SD channels are "CI+" only while most of the crypted SD channels are allowed to be decrypted with CI+CAM combo.

Re: [vdr] CAM questions
Hi, I think you should be able to decrypt with that configuration. I have my card+CAM connected to CI on my Technotrend FF DVB-C card and that decrypts channels received by other DVB-C cards. Only limitation is that I can decrypt channels received by one tuner at a time. I have not tested for more than 2 channels at a time.
