Manu,

that's a big disappointment. I was counting on this to have multiple 
recordings, both from a single frequency on a single card, and from multiple
cards where only one has a CAM (just a single subscription should be enough) 
going scrambled to disk and later on descrambling 'in batch'.

as I said in an earlier post, my settop box does this all the time. I'm new to 
this DVB-stuff, but the pseudo-network interface from these cards
seemed like a possible option.

The SoftCAM option, would that be the frowned-upon mostly-used-for-pirating 
illegal thingie ? I am extremely interested in any information you can
send my way (I have and will continue to pay for a valid subscription)

Being able do decode afterwards in batch would also solve my tuning problems 
when the CAM is accessed (see another previous post from me)

thanks in advance

Luc
