I'd suggest you try it again after a reboot or after unloading/reloading the budget-ci module, it seems the CAM module was still active after Myth had been using it.
Will do, system is in use until tomorrow now.
Also make sure you use recent drivers from the dvb repo, a patch I wrote was committed a day or two ago, and without it, my CAM would lock up by simply using a remote control (which would in turn produce lots of interesting error messages).
I am using a Technotrend S-1500 + CI + CAM, Ive not had errors when using the remote, but I do get problems with my card/cam if I change channels too quickly, and sometimes if i just leave myth running in the main menu, when I watch tv it always gets lock, but I get a blank screen for a long time and eventually a video error or I have to kill mythfrontend, stopping the backend, removing and reloading budget_ci and restarting the backend usually cures it, I ended up adding a menu item for that but its not a nice solution :(. Really not sure what is wrong, I can leave it playing a encrypted channel for days at a time, but if I change channels a few times it stops working, I have a feeling perhaps the cam is not responding quickly enough to commands, are there any timeout values I could try changing? My dvb-s card (Avermedia 777) and Freeview channels do not have the same problem.
