I've got one of the first Rev. 2.1 cards from Hauppauge (retail version with
remote control etc.) and an AlphaCrypt CIM. I tried WinDVBLive 2000 under
Windows several times. The first version crashed the CIM after a couple of
minutes but a later version (sorry, I cannot look it up now because I
disconnected the Windows harddisk) worked fine.

A friend has been using WinDBBLive 2000 for almost a year now with an Irdeto
Allcam which will crash the driver regularly or the screen will suddenly
just stay black.

I don't think the problem described on the DVBForum is the same but CIM
problems are a common thing with DVB receivers. I don't know if it's so
difficult to follow the specifications or if the specifications leave too
much room for interpretation ;-) Let's just wait and see if Premiere World
will start shipping CIMs only in January. If something is wrong with the
receivers then, we will see software updates from the STB manufacturers ...
