No, no talk of softcams, I expressly asked NOT about them. :) I'm 
interested how other people use HW CAMs. I think I said that clear 
enough. HW CAMs are fully supported by most providers here in Europe, 
you pay for everything including the HW modules, which are even sold by 
most of them separately (for 3rd party STB's).

Do not start about sotfcams, I'm not interested in that and I don't want 
to start a discussion about this here.

People speaking strictly against softcams either use HW CAM's or just 
view FTA channels. There must be many users from the first cathegory 
here, no?

Thank you.
