Hi Raymond and Jan
Thank you very much for this valuable information.

There are two seemingly different cards available. One "Satelco
Easywatch PCI (DVB-C)" and one "Satelco Easywatch HDTV PCI (DVB-C)".
Which one do you have, Jan? I think it would be wrong to assume that
both will work. As usual, the vendors don't say anything about the
chipset.
Am I right that I need the card as well as the CI module on two
different PCI slots? I found both items in different shops:

http://www.amazon.de/Satelco-Easywatch-Common-Interface/dp/B000QBU0T4/ref=sr_1_4?ie=UTF8&qid=1307427420&sr=8-4
What about the CAM module? Is it correct that I need an additional CAM
like the Alphacrypt classic?
Thank you very much
Sven
