CAM tests

Using a CAM requires the optional CI extension provided by TechnoTrend.

Feel free to update this table with other types of CAMs.

Irdeto Access - CI-module CIM: 49.2.43 CIM SW: IRDETO ACCESS 1.11.003 SoftCell: Ver 2.21A - Demux (SW CA). Compiled Jan 17 2003 14:42:17 gnutv Not working. See below, will work with patch.

Notes: the corruption on the official CDS/TVV module is so bad you can't seriously watch a program with it, but it could be used to update/activate the smartcard. UPDATE: some time has passed, and I'm now running Kaffeine 0.8.6. That most likely has nothing to do with it, but only MTV, RNN7 and Etalagekanaal work now. No more dutch channels, not even NED1. MTV has no corruption though, so I guess that was fixed somewhere.. I suspect this is due to a change in the encryption. On Windows the same issue exists, and the CAM tells me on Windows my card would not be valid for the channel I try to watch. Rubbish, as the CAM shows the same channels perfectly on a standalone Vantage.

CAMs confirmed working after applying any one of this patch (not tried both at the same time, but that seems unnessesary):
