Hmm... my German might be very rusty, but I suspect that the price of this is around 300€ without VAT. :?

There is no apparent mention of if this thingy (what should it be called, by the way? decoder? streamer?) has got support for CI cards for pay-per-view either. The detailed specs page on this product has sort of managed to elude me on Siemens' webpage... ;)
