Yep. It is foolish that they doesn't provide RGB output as an option
when the chip provides it. Has someone approached Siemens and
Haaupauge to make them request Technotrend to provide the necessary
connector pins ?

If I understand you correct, then the CI module (and subsequently
the CAM module) doesn't work under Linux with a revision 2.2
card ? SO I can't watch all the encrypted digital stuff (which
is near to 100%) ?

By me too. As a fix, how does one get SoftCAM to test as a temporary fix ?

Is SoftCAM a commercial piece of software or a OSS hack to be found somewhere
on some remote server ?
