[mythtv-users] DVB-S cards

[Jelte Veldstra]

Hello Morten,

I have spent the last couple of months trying to get decoding of Canal
Digitaal (Dutch pay-TV on Astra 19.2E) to work. So far no luck. FTA channels
work fine. So far I have tried using a KNC1 DVB-S (rev2) with CineView CI
module and the Twinhan 1030A DVB-S adapter. As CAMs I have tried the Canal
Digitaal media guard CAM and the Aston 1.07 CAM. All on MythTV SVN r10200,
Fedora Core 4 and it's 2.6.16 kernel.
A friend of mine is using a Hauppauge Nova with CI. Again FTA works fine,
but we couldn't get pay-TV to work.
Somehow I can't figure out what patches to use. For the Twinhan there must
be HLCI patches available, but it's not clear to me whether these are
present in recent SVN checkouts or how to apply them. The relationship
between MythTV and Linuxtv's DVB drivers is also not totally clear to me.

All in all an interesting challenge. If someone on this list has pointers to
move us forward, please let us know.

Regards,


Jelte
