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.
That should read dvb-t, the card/cam I have trouble with is dvb-s.
