I have been using a conax cam here for ages now, but have not heard of anyone 
else trying this code bits. In theory, it should work. It's the same code as 
in VDR. It requires the ServiceID to be filled in for each channel, so that 
it can find the data required for the cam. You can set the ServiceID in the 
setup/channel editor, or by edititing the dvb_channel table yourself.

On this page, there is a brief description of the output you should get:

If you can't make it work, edit the file in libs/libmythtv/dvbdev/dvbci.cpp, 
and change the line with 'static bool DebugProtocol = false;' from false to 
true. Recompile, and send the output generated to either me or the devel 
list.
