This VDR plugin provides a software emulated CAM. Software
decryption with ffdecsa for budget cards is also available. With
this plugin you can, for example, use your pay-tv subscription with
a smart card reader/programmer without expensive CI and CAM devices.

If you use this plugin with an FF card, you will also need to use a
special version of the firmware available from the plugin home page.

This package is in tainted section because it contains algorithms
that may be covered by software patents and because its decryption
capabilities (while requiring appropriate keys) may be considered
breaking DRM.
