Has anyone tried one of these new cards with VDR?

Or any other DVB-C card supporting CI/CAM and MPEG-4 ?

The support for MPEG-4 comes in the form of codecs included on a CD that is shipped with the card. The card itself supports MPEG-4 just like any other: regardless of the encoding used the card passes the broadcasted material to a piece of software, which in turn tries to decode it. VDR can also do that when patched with Reinhard Nissl's h.264 patch and used together with a software output plugin.

So to put it simply: Just buy the normal version - the cards are the same.
