Are we talking about the same thing? I don't get a picture in live viewing 
mode ... and I haven't tried to record an encrypted channel with your 
driver yet. I've tried to tune to an encrypted channel multiple times 
without success. Could someone perhaps send me some syslog output of what I 
should see when tuning an encrypted channel with John's driver and VDR? 
Right now, this is all I get:

Feb  3 20:59:57 vdr vdr[628]: switching to channel 41
Feb  3 20:59:57 vdr kernel: ca_open

Doesn't WinDVBLive use its own firmware? At least the installation 
instructions tell one to remove the original Technotrend driver first. 

BTW, does anyone know what firmware version is used by Multidec 8? 
Multidec's response with my AlphaCrypt CIM plugged in is as slow as VDR was 
with older versions of the Convergence firmware under Linux ...

That would be great!
