Hi list!
C+ are now starting up a new channel with films in HDTV format named C MORE HD on their Scandinavian feed from Thor. I'm interested in trying to record and later have a look at this. I've understand (and seen) that the FF cards are unable to handle the feed itself and I therefore need to get a budget card.
Now to the Q: Can the budget card use the CA inserted in the FF card in order to decrypt the stream?
No, that's not possible (AFAIK).
But a FF card might be possible to _record_ the stream, even though it can't _replay_ it. The limiting factor here is the MPEG decoder. Haven't tried this, though.
The followup Q would then be how? I've tried to use a timer to record the channel, but vdr shuts down.
