What's "Poor Man's CAM" ?
"Poor Man's CAM" ("PMCAM" from now) software is a MultiDec and DVBCore plugin that allow you to use your legal TV subscription card to see your currently subscribed channels in your computer using an easy and cheap Phoenix interface. This feature will allow you to record in MPEG2 format in your harddisk too.

Which systems "PMCAM" handles ?

Currently "PMCAM" can handle Nagravision systems and using "PMCAM (SECA)" your can access SECA systems.
Which hardware I must have to use it ?
A PC-SAT DVB card (look at well know manufacturers like Technotrend or Hauppauge), a legal subscription smartcard, a serial port and a "phoenix" interface.

And what about the software ?
You can use any DVB TV software that can use MultiDec or DVBCore plugins. In example MultiDec, ProgDVB, HispaDVB, MyTheatre, EzDVB, and a lot more.
Some software does not want do show the image even when everything in PMCAM looks OK
Some software like HispaDVB does not allow the plugins to send decryption commands to the card, in this situation and if the software is based in the Technotrend SDK you can try to use the plugin "TT Trick" to make it work with PMCAM. Other software like WatchTVPro has not been tested but they should work too using "TT Trick" plugin.
