Since this will break dst_test -a, a patch is also needed for dvb-apps to

would be great if anyone more familiar with the specs. could take a look
at it and see if it looks ok. It would also be good to have some testing
from some Twinhan CI-card users as well.

I have implemented a rudimentary HLCI support for mythtv and the structure
there needed the ca_info to be implemented in the driver.

By 'magic command' I assume you mean command to the hardware. I discovered
that all information that was needed for the ca_info was present in the
request for the slots_caps.

For the mmi commands I can not help you much for now on how to access it
in the hardware. Maybe Manu can be of assistance?

Regards,
Henrik
