That function is not yet implemented.

Did you wait long enough? Menu access is only possible after some 15 seconds.

Well, at least there's no change here ;-)

Please try the CAM menu after waiting at least 15 seconds.
I don't think that any of the changes in VDR 1.1.23 should have an
impact on the basic communication with the module.

Hmmm, the basic communication seems to work (otherwise you wouldn't have got
the "00 01 80 02 01 00" response mentioned above).
Can you try if the very same CAM still works with VDR 1.1.22?
If it works with that version, try VDR 1.1.22 with the firmware (Root + Dpram)
from VDR 1.1.23. I don't think that there is a difference in that area, but
let's check it out.

Simple: the "Reset" function from the menu is not yet implemented.
You don't need that function at this point (maybe I should remove that button
until it really works...).

You do have to insert the CAM _before_ starting VDR - did you
do it that way?

Well, I would expect that you get either a good picture or none
at all. Are you sure yur CAM is ok?
