[vdr] Re: VDR and CI module

[Cyrille Grange <grangec@free.fr>]

Hi,
I use an astoncrypt module, nothing to change in ca.conf but in 
channels.conf, I put '1' in the before last columns 'cause my CAM is in 
the first slot of my Hauppauge DVB2.1 card.
In the setup.conf file, i put a new line : CaCaps = 1 1 2 3 ...
(first 1 'cause the first CAM slot and after, crypted channels numbers 
list.)
(K6-2 500Mhz, Redhat7.2, vdr 1.0.1 with or without AIO)

When decrypting is working, it's for a long time, but to start it :
1 - i have to put off both CAM and card.
2 - I restart vdr.
3 - two solutions :
    a - if Channels are switching fast. Then i put a card and everything 
morks ;-)
    b - if channels are switching  low : see 5.
5 - I put off my CAM module.
6 - I switch to 1 crypted channel.
7 - I put in my CAM module
8 - goto 3.

regards.

PS : sorry for my poor english !
