That's a complete capture card with cardreader included. Afaik you can use a terratec with CI included, hauppauge has a separate CI as well. Depends on the software you want to use though.
If you use CI you still need a cam(like alphacrypt) the anysee can be used without cam and some cardreaders can be used in combination with a softcam as well, generally that's the cheaper solution.

you need a alphycrypt or something like that with a ziggo card, in order to be able to watch it. (you cant record afaik) and this may not work in the future if they want to change it.

I did look into this too , but i have not found any correct situation which is also actually supported by ziggo.

I also have a anysee, works fine with digitenne for instance.

Ziggo won't support anything other than their own receivers and TV's with CI+.
That said the other solutions work and will at least for a while, their own receivers use softcams or an separate hardware CAM(built-in).
An cardreader combined with softcam or a capturecard like the anysee will genrally be cheaper than a solution with CI and a separate CAM like the alphacrypt.

Ghe, i overlooked the digitenne part, indeed .. just use a anysee. Get the driver from www.anysee.nl and it works like a charm with windows media center. (works fine under linux too i believe)

Hi,

I have now finding a USB CI module that can work with the DVB-T receiver -> http://www.terratec.net/en/products/Cin ... _2296.html
But i looking also for the solution to use a Anysee E30 this receiver is around the €129,- so i can use only 1 USB port.

Thanks for you answerers.
Grtz,

It should be possible within the same Bouquet, I use it all the time with my PVR. As long as the channels you wish to record are in the same multiplex(bouquet) you can split it up with the right software.
Don't know if WMC has the possibility to do so....
