[QUOTE="dmaurice, post: 679292, member: 347186"] Here's my set up: SonicView 360 Elite PVR connected to my pc via the iHub Ethernet adapter. I use WizNet software to change i.p., dns, etc. ok. I have a CHIPDRIVE micro 100 card reader, which my PC sees just fine (RS232 to USB adapter). I have a licensed version of the Chipdrive Smartcard Commander software, Professional Edition. I'm looking into obtaining a subscription that requires a Conax coded smart card - long story short: If I want English programming here in Madagascar, I need to subscribe to it. I'm ok with that. I'm already pointed at the desired satellite and can "see" both the encrypted and FTA channels. For me, only one of the FTA channels is desirable, the reason for a subscription. Should I ditch my above mentioned set up and purchase a receiver with a built in Conax card reader OR is there some software "bridge" that will enable my CHIPDRIVE micro 100 card reader to work with a subscribed Conax card enabling my SonicView to decode since both are connected to my pc? Looking forward to your expert advice, thanks. [/QUOTE]
