Which Smartcard Reader is best

[soviet]

On a similar subject, I can have only one card in my DB500 but if I have more cards will I need an external card reader? how to connect it to the box? By using the RS232 on the back of the box?

Ideally if you want to share more cards one will need to build a pc based server. Its not very hard and can be done cheaply. With the DM500 you cannot use the usb card readers such as Smargo or Omnikey as the drivers available are only for Enigma 2 (Dm 7xxx and 8xx series). Not too sure about the rs232 option though mate, maybe someone else knows about this?

question still remains. Is there any advantage of using a card reader than a dm500 buit in slot?

I have been reading cards with dm500 with no issues at all

[ITS A SCAM !]

Is it possible to connect another card reader to a dm500s ??

Omnikey 3111 serial cardreader

yeah i agree

will the STB recognise both of them at the same time ??

or a DM7020 has 2 card slots and a usb port

well i have 2 STB, both with a slot in each of them....and my server even has a omnikey without any local....3 slots No card !!

Make sure you read on how to configure these little things otherwise they will burn your card.

I have a PC Pentium 4 with 1 GB RAM, any Linux OS will be OK such as Redhat?
With the cards are these are physical not virtual cards? I mean there are 4 USB ports on the PC so I can have up to 4 card readers or may be use USB hub? Will Linux OS have all drivers for them?

Thanks

telling you how to set up a server is against the rules. you would need linux server os ie, ubuntu server.

Thanks Jackpot
I like to play with the software more than anything else because I work in IT so it is something similar to my day to day work, not intended to do anything with C/S.

hi

i have used both smargo and omnikey 3121 and they are both solid.

for newcs server omnikey is awesome and runs very good without any problem.

for cccam server smargo is the best as you do not have to configure anything just plug and go. also run very sweet.
