Just a quick note here: you might want to post to the mythtv ML and the 
VDR one also (probably others but I dont know them off hand) and see how 
people feel about this. My guess is that quite a few potential users are 
on these ML, and the CI threads are recurrent there because of good 
dvb-s cards but without CI support.
A usb-CI or equivalent HW + good drivers would allow people to pick the 
dvb-s(2) cards without worrying about CI support.
