Hello all,
I have recently purchased a TechnoTrend 1500 DVB-T PCI card with CI
daughter board. I also have an official CAM and Smartcard for our local
DVB-T service. The DVB-T in the air broadcasts 4 FtA channels and the
rest encrypted. I can scan and find all the channels properly. Also
watching FtA channels works without a problem. EPG I also receive for
all channels in question. The CAM menu lists my cam properly (Conax
4.00e) and all information seems to be proper. I activated my smartcard
via the phone this morning so that sh ould also not cause any problem.
dmesg lists my cam as successfully initialized:
Dec 16 16:19:11 erin kernel: [ 2771.999892] dvb_ca adapter 0: DVB CAM
detected and initialised successfully
I also have a ivtv based device in the box using the pvrinput plugin,
but that shouldn't cause this? From the log I find the following after
changing from channel 42 (FtA) to 64 (Scrambled) and back.

any idea why the scrambled stream isn't being decoded?
