Hi, i have some questions:


The problem is that i want to use the supplied subscription card that
came with a riksTV box. Norges televisjon (NTV) uses H.264 and HE-AAC.
There is a patch for those at
https://launchpad.net/~paul-kcbbs/+archive/ppa

So, does anyone know if it is possible to get hold of a good card that
has support for DVB-T ? Can i use a hauppauge WinTV-HVR-2200 card ?

And, the future possible use of a DVB-S2 card instead of the viasat
box that came with a Videoguard (NDS) legal subscription card.

Card reader:
It looks to me that a smargo USB card reader should work:

softcam(s)  ( must support card updates)
http://streamboard.gmc.to:8001/
+
CCcam

Or is there perhaps a better solution ?

by the way, does mythbuntu support "Smartcardreader+ ID" through udev?
That way-the smartreader will allways start up on right DEV/ port.
No fidling or switching cards to get it to read the correct card.
