Hello! I'm new to satellite systems, so I would like to buy a cheap card, considering decrypting streams.
The question is about which hardware is recommended to run with VDR, that can decode encrypted traffic
Thanks in advance!

Considering that not all *official* CI-modules are supported, I'll go for the assumption it is.
But from personal experience you really can't go wrong with DVB-adapters proviced by MYSTIQUE, DVBSky and/or DIGITAL DEVICES.
IMHO stay away from TBS devices, I have horrible experiences with the drivers for the TBS5980 and some other models. Although the opensource drivers are better, the cards are far from stable.
Thanks in advance!

My recommendation hardware-wise would be Vuplus Duo2 or similar Linux/'Enigma' set-top box (STB). I think VDR is ported to Vuplus (and similar STBs platforms) if you want to run VDR. But the information of this seems to be in German.
I abandoned VDR after 11 years of running it for Duo2+OpenVix. VDR UI was/is still nice to use but it had too much hassle to setup and when my DVB-PCI cards started decaying (giving stream errors) and I wanted high quality 1080p HD the choice was obvious.
If VDR wants to florish, I think that is the direction VDR should go so it should be easy install packets to Linux STBs with good documentation and support by VDR developer :). But <= is just an opinion, competition is hard on that side..

This sounds very interesting, can you please give some links to good information on this, even in German? Is it rather some WIP status (you stated you "think" VDR is ported), or does it actually work?
Best regards, Lucian

I'm very interested in this too. Vuplus Duo2 seems to be the perfect hardware for a VDR system. As far as I know, VDR itself can be compiled for the box, but OSD did not work yet. See this discussion on german vdr-portal (with links to bitbake recipes):
http://www.vdr-portal.de/board18-vdr-hardware/board98-arm-co/124897-vdr-auf-...
Side-Note: My AVR requires analog YUV output but my old Fujitsu-Siemens DVB-S 1.3 FF card with J2 extension board started to get unstable in the last year. So I switched to Vuplus in January. Well ... It's quite ok, stable and fast, you have HbbTV and stuff... but sometimes I miss VDR a lot!
I'd like to see VDR being ported to this box, but using Vuplus has not been painful enough for me to try that by myself. ;)

I think comes from that google search returned something on duo2 + VDR. But discussion is in German which I don't understand and too lazy to use google translate because I nowadays run OpenVIX on Duo2.
But iff (if and only if) VDR works 100% on Duo2 platform I might switch to it.

Sorry for the off-topic, but my google-fu is failing: where could I find instructions on how to build openvix from sources? I see they're on github, but they have several repositories and I could not find instructions, and I'd need to modify something in the enigma c++ files to support my positioner (probably I just need to compile the enigma binary, but I'm not sure yet). The various boxes running openvix (and other enigma images) seem to be very cheap and convenient (small size, low power, etc.), if they also have good tuners they could be a good replacement for my ageing vdr computer.

Yes, build instructions are hard to find. After some trial and error I am doing it like this:
git clone https://github.com/oe-alliance/build-enviroment.git cd build-enviroment make MACHINE=vuduo2 DISTRO=openvix DISTRO_TYPE=release make image
You then ("then" meaning after quite some time, depending on what kind of machine you build it) have the ipkgs in builds/openvix/vuduo2/tmp/deploy/ipk, etc.
All necessary packages for building will have to installed. OE should complain about what is missing. I think you also need to use bash as default shell for building.
You will also have to disable opera because you cannot fetch the source package without password (or somebody tell me how to ...). Comment out the lines with opera in: meta-oe-alliance/meta-oe/recipes-oe-alliance/enigma2-plugins/enigma2-oe-alliance-plugins.bb before the final make above.

Thank you! I suppose that will build a (more or less) "official" image. Is there a mailing list (not a shady web forum) where one can ask questions about it and how to incorporate custom changes/patches/etc.? I don't want to abuse this list too much ;-)

Hi,
I am happy using Sat>IP "GSS.box DSI 400". No need driver... + "Fast Zapping !!" all DVB transport to IP. Is is FTA, but encrypted transport is supported.
I bought mine here: http://www.ebay.fr/itm/131326751648
Zouhair.
