[linux-dvb] KNC1/Typhoon/Cinergy 1200 datasheet request

[Kenneth Aafløy <lists@kenneth.aafloy.net>]

I have a Typhoon DVB-S card, the same type that KNC1 makes (just without the 
saa7113) and also sold by Terratec under the name Cinergy 1200. I have 
requested datasheets or information about how to properly communicate with 
the Common Interface on this card for over a month now, but to no avail. You 
have mostly ignored my request for information about this interface, and how 
to program it. I have added the linux communitys dvb hotspot mailing list to 
the list of recipients, to show them your ignorance over your customers that 
want to help your company make it into new markets.

I know for a fact that someone that formerly worked at convergence already has 
the information I request, so I hope you will actually respond to this e-mail 
at least. Please remember that I'm actually trying to make you help me help 
you, because if the CI interface is also supported in Linux your low cost 
line of cards would be attractive to a lot more open-source customers.

Hi,

I wrote an e-mail to you about two weeks back, but have yet to get a reply
from you. It would have been nice to at least receive a rejection for my
request about datasheets on the Typhoon DVB-S card, specifically the CI
interface connected to the DEBI port of the SAA7146. I've got the card
working by making some modifications to the linuxtv.org budget-av driver a
while back, and recently aquired a CI-interface to complete this setup (I
live in norway, where most channels are encrypted, and I have a subscription
with Canal Digital). The problem is that anyhow I try to contact the CI
interface/CAM through the DEBI ports, I only get garbage (or static) data
back, ie I'm not even reaching the attribute memory of the pc card. If you
could provide me with some information on how to reach the pc card attribute
memory, I belive that I should be able to handle the rest of the
implementation by myself.

Hope for a positive answer.

Regards,
Kenneth J. Aafløy
