[vdr] Any people having experience with CAM's and Dutch Canal Digitaal ?

[zzocmertt]

Hello list,

I'm building a VDR machine with Gentoo and VDR 1.4.6. I'm going to use 
VDR with the smartcard of the Dutch Canal Digitaal.
I already have a Common Interface slot, and now I need to buy a CAM.

Accoording to 
http://www.vdr-wiki.de/wiki/index.php/Conditional_Access_Modul there are 
some CAM's which are working with VDR. On the 
http://gathering.tweakers.net/forum/list_message/27016439#27016439 forum 
the Canal Digitaal MediaGuard CAM 
(http://webshop.canaldigitaal.nl/article.asp?articleId=15434) was 
described as "not very reliable", and I can't find it on the VDR wiki as 
well. The Matrix and Aston from the gathering.tweakers.net is found on 
the wiki, but is not supported by VDR.

On the wiki are the following CAM's which support SECA and SECA 2 and 
are supported by VDR:
AlphaCrypt Twin, Diabol Cam / Dragon Modul (Rev. 4.1) / T-Rex, Reality 
Cam, Super Joker, Zeta blau, Irdeto Access.

My question to you all is: Has anyone one of the above CAM's working 
with a standard VDR ?

[vdr] CI module blocks recieving of FTA channels

[zzocmertt]

Hello list,

I have in a Gentoo system, a Hauppauge Nexus-S card (FF card), which is 
used with vdr 1.4.6 (media-video/vdr-1.4.6) and with firmware version 1 
(media-tv/linuxtv-dvb-firmware-1) and dvb lib 0.5.5.1 
(media-libs/libdvb-0.5.5.1-r3). De kernel is 2.6.23-gentoo-r3. In this 
configuration, I can recieve the FTA channels as defined in the default 
channels.conf (/etc/vdr/channels.conf).

When a connect a 3.5 inch Hauppauge CI module 
(http://www.linuxtv.org/vdrwiki/index.php/Common_interface with white 
front panel, http://www.hauppauge.com/html/dvb_s.htm, bottom of page) to 
the Hauppauge Nexus card, I can no longer recieve the FTA channels (no 
image, no sound, no EPG, no new descriptors, no timeout on a choosen 
channel). It does not matter if a insert a CAM (Alphacrypt) or not. I 
don't  have a working smartcard right now, so I did not test that.

If I do insert the CAM, in the log file, the message is found:
Dec  8 11:33:39 vdr_gentoo vdr: [29572] warning: Resetting CAM...
Dec  8 11:33:42 vdr_gentoo vdr: [29572] info: CAM has been reset
The LED on the CAM is on as well, so it has power, but still no FTA 
channels visible.

On the mailing list was this: 
http://www.linvdr.org/mailinglists/vdr/2005/03/msg00573.html, which 
looks familiar, with one difference: In that email, nothing was stated 
about the FTA channels.

My question is: When I have a CI module connected to the Nexus card, 
should I then still be able to see the FTA channels ?
