[QUOTE="smashingly, post: 686057, member: 297185"] That's a good point - that model doesn't support MPEG-4. The HDCI-5000-S (which I can only find references to if I let Google include dutch-language results) does support MPEG-4, and has 2 x CI slots. I've done some more digging on Satbeams.com and it seems that with both the BADR4/6 and Nilesat 101/102 options, Irdeto2 is the most common encryption. Many of the Al Jaz channels also do KeyFly and Viaccess in addition to that. But I think Irdeto2 is going to cover me. So the only missing piece of the puzzle now is to ensure I get MPEG-4 capable receivers, and that the provider subscriptions work OK together. I am assuming that the STB will automatically know which CAM/card to use depending on what channel is being watched? I.e. change to an OSN channel, it uses the OSN viewing card in slot 1 to decrypt, change to an Al Jaz Sports channel, it uses the AJS viewing card in slot 2 to decrypt... does it work that way? thanks for pointing out the mpeg-4 bit - I'd missed that on the IR-1010HD model. If anyone else has any comments on my original post, I'd really appreciate it. A/V and especially satellite TV isn't my strongest suit. cheers Ash [/QUOTE]
