Hi! I'm searching for a supported usb dvb-c dual tuner and i am a bit confused about this list.

http://www.linuxtv.org/wiki/index.php/DVB-C_USB_Devices

Because most of the listed devices are dvb-t devices. Will they also work with dvb-c?
As far as i know dvb-t and dvb-c are not compatible.
Does someone have experinces with dvb-c usb dual tuners under linux?

Thanks
AK

No

The CT-3650 CI should work (I have one and if I remember correctly it worked fine some months/years ago), but it was already a miracle that this one worked.

I'm not aware of DVB-C dual tuners that work in Linux (which have a CI), but you could still buy 2 such USB devices.

This all refers to devices which have a CI - here in Europe some providers/channels are not encoded but otherwise most are, so I didn't even take into consideration devices which did not have a Smartcard/CI slot.
