HDTV Receiver Plus CI Help ( complicated)

[zbug]

Dear All,

I have been searching and searching for a few days now.

what i am looking for is

HDTV receiver with the most CI/Card slot's one can have. Or Something that would read multiple cards

Thing is i have alot of viewing cards and sick of changing between them!

I have
4 Viaccess Viewing Cards
3 Irdeto Cards

Would anyone please explain or link me the best solutions for this ? Even if the solution was a lil complicated please let me know how i can do it ?

im sure its possible somehow. Please exclude using multiple receivers as i tried that and its really annoying.

thanks !

Hm

I've seen somewhere photos of cardsharing server - Dreambox 500 was used as base, hacked to accept 7 cards at a time.

I don't know about 7 cards at same time, but using any receiver with 2CI slot and diablo cams you can have 4 cards +1 one in receiver = 5 total cards.

regarding 7 cards - you can set up a cardsharing server on a PC, use season interfaces to read the cards, and feed CW to your receiver via lan/com port.

Thanks BombedOne,

know the best website or UK based store that i can get all the gear for it ?

The Little BIG problem here is that the places we're living at...

I have absolutely no idea of UK shops and avilability of specified hardware in them... (so far my experience with uk online shops ended at hisat.com - we've purchased several diablo cams from them, for company purpose)

If I was doing this for myself, I'd source everything from china, because prices there are low (DM800 clone - 210€ and so on), and most importantly, I have a friend there, who will help me in sourcing these goods.

So I think, it'll be better to wait a bit, maybe some UK based person will post a reply also.

Thanks again

Is DM8000 HD still the best one can get?

I recently checked - it's impossible to use 2 units of diablo Wifi CAMs in almost all receivers with 2CI slots. Since these slots are above each other, two diablo wifi -s simply won't fit.
