I bought one too, and got bad support from them. No support at
all. My CI card was burn, I emailed many times requesting them
for a new one (I m willing to pay for it) and they answer that
they sell it in connection with DVB-S card. so I should buy
a new card in order to have my CI back? 
Pentanet has GPL driver too, and its CI cable to DVB-S card
goes a better way than the siemens one.
