I didn't recommend them, just offered them up as a potential supplier. Sorry to hear of your problem with them. May be another supplier out there, but hesitate to suggest one again :eek:

I use a Duolabs CAS3+, but may be overkill if you just need a smartcard reader, as it's a little pricey for your needs.

One of our site sponsors sells the CAS3+ (Pulsat).

It also programs CAMS like the Diablo etc.

There's also the Dynamite Plus programmer from Duolabs, again available from a couple of our sponsors (Pulsat or Southernsatellite to name two). That just does smartcards.

Yes, that's the one. I assume you have a serial port on your PC.

Why does your monitor need to use a serial port? Does it have some kind of colour checking device or penscribe?

right, ive confused serial port with vga port:mad:
I have another PC with a serial port, im actually looking to network 3 pc's together, would i be able to use the card reader through the network or would the PC(s) containing the tv tuners need the to have the card reader?

VLC is your friend for networking video/audio to your PC(s). Just need Multicast or similar on the server PC with the tuner card. May be wrong, but don't think you need TV tuners on the client PC(s). Haven't tried it with the cardreader/NDSCam setup on the server PC but can't see why it wouldn't work.

Ok thanks for the info. Im not going to be using it to stream from pc to pc however, im going to be capturing tv on 2 pc's with their own capture cards so i guess they might both need the card readers.

Whats different about the CAS3+ and the Dynamite+Plus? How do they work with the NDS emulator?

CAS3+ uses the smart card slot in Phoenix mode, as does the Dynamite+. The CAS3+ also has the CAM slot, not used in this application of course.
