Hi All,

I'm looking into building a MythTV-based HTPC at the moment. I would
like to view digital satellite channels, and I'm looking into the
hardware now.

I would like to view the TV Vlaanderen (CanaDigitaal sister company in
Belgium) encrypted channels, so I'll require a card with a CI slot and
a CAM. TV Vlaanderen sells its own CAMs, so I'll go for one of those.
But the PCI card is the one I'm asking about.

I was planning on going for a TwinhanDTV Sat-CI VP-1034, Mantis-based
card. What is the current support status in the Linux kernel for this
card? Does it work at all, and does it work with crypted channels?

Currently the driver for the TwinhanDTV Mantis cards is in alpha phase. 
Currently tuning and channel viewing works but not all channels are 
found on the satellite.
The CI slot is currently not supported so encrypted channels are not 
viewable.
Work is currently going on to get CI support and to get the missing 
channels back.

Or do you have any suggestions for other cards that will do the trick
in Linux? And if possible a reseller of those via mail order in
Belgium or the Netherlands?

I bought mine through www.factoryprices.nl (www.factoryprices.be) but 
they do not sell it anymore.

Hmm, not much support then... Are there any other cards anyone would
recommend that do work well in linux? I'm not really in the mood to
install windows MCE on this machine. I want to get it right from the
first try :)

I've found it here, if anybody needs one:
