However, after I insert the CAM, usually at first I get a "Can't tune DVB!' error in Kaffeine, however after some time (minute or so?) this goes away and FTA channels do work again, with the CAM inserted. None of the Canal Digitaal channels ever work though .... So at this point the only possibility that I see left, is a hardware problem with my KNC DVB-S card ... looks like I will have to order another one.
