Alrite
I came across this tutorial on some website while searching on google.
It mentions how to use a DVB PC TV Tuner with some card emulator HW and software and use it on the PC
The problem is it is mentioned for TATA Sky.
And there are reports of it not working due to some encryption.
What I want to know is that is there some way to get it working for CAS, so I do not have to use the pathetic STB.
Please someone help me out.
If it is possible can someone have a simpler explanation.

AND Here is the tutorial for reference
) supports MPEG-4 and HD as well.
* Plugins= SoftCSA / KNCBDACTRL.dll. Multidec plugins = NDScam 0.0.0.4 / DCW.dll. Codecs = Cyberlink POWERDVD mpeg2 / Cyberlink POWERDVD H.264. Put these files into plugin folder of the DVB installation directory. This plugin will read yourTata Sky Card and decrypt the signals.
How it works
As I stated, I have a phoenix smartcard reader which I can put my legal active Tata SKY viewing card into to decrypt both my DVB-S signals via PCI cards. For this to work DVBDream needs a plugin to access MultiDec plugins for which will act as my softcam. softcams are software work arounds to read and use smartcard information without the need for CAM (conditional access module) hardware. The plugin I'm using to access the multiDec plugins is called softCSA, although I know there are others out there. The multiDec plugins I'm using are NDSCAM 0.0.0.7 (update release) and DCW.dll.Tata Sky viewing cards are encrypted using a system called Videoguard from NDS. Combine everything, And it works
