Hi, here is the software that i have tried with my twinhan DVB-C CI card using fenrir/yankse or other plugins, i have no cam as yet.
DVBDream, Very good software, supports MDAPI plugins only let down is lack of decent on screen EPG
ProgDVB, not bad similar to DVBDream but you have to find or make graphs for codecs,lack of decent OSG EP, also supports MDAPI plugins
AltDVB, Good Picture, lots of options and therefore difficult to set up and lack of decent OSG EPG, supports plugins
MyTheatre, the one i use at present, nice looking OSG but recordings/timeshift not perfect (pixelises occasionally) and when stretching 4:3 to widescreen makes it look like a fishbowl effect, supports DVBCORE plugins and MDAPI plugins with MDwrapper
MediaPortal, Most looks like Media Centre but buggy, going from fullscreen to window mode crashes,Kills my EH services (used by MCE2005) which i dont like, supports MDAPI plugins with a 3rd party plugin (MP4MDAPI)
ChrisTV, Couldn't get this one to tune my card, Crashed at random times during tuning.
WatchTVPro, Again I can't get this one tuning as it wont let me select a provider and therefore tries to scan all frequencies but crashes almost instantly.
I will keep looking and trying different apps until i find the perfect one and if anybody thinks they may have found it then please let us know, I would also like other peoples opinions on the above apps and the codecs/renderers they use and find to be the best.
