Hi, I have a 2031A Cab-CI I bought a while ago. It was (and I believe still is) the only single pci slot card that supports DVB-C with CAM on linux. Scouring the lists, I managed to get it running a few months ago, but only after applying the fix of commenting out line 1360 of dst.c. (Why hasn't this fix been committed yet? The card is as good as useless without it.) I could watch video with the following command: $ gnutv -channels ~/.czap/channels.conf -out stdout "Nederland 1" | mplayer - This would work fine, but after a while gnutv outputs lots of these lines: en50221_app_ai_parse_app_info: Received short data The stream then stops and I have to restart mplayer, but this also happens with "-out null". I thought the signal quality might be bad so I didn't post this before, and I left the card alone for a while. Recently I rewired my house and the signal quality (atleast on analog) is much improved, dvbscan/dvbsnoop etc. still work fine, but I still get the gnutv message periodically. Moreover, the above command no longer works, mplayer says: Seek failed No stream found. Exiting... (End of file) I have gone through a couple kernel revisions in the meantime, so something must have changed while I haven't been using the card. It might also be the CAM's fault, but I don't see why that should have stopped working or how to debug it. Any ideas? Another thing I wasn't aware of when I bought the card was the fact that it has a nonstandard method of accessing the CI, I believe it's called "high level CI" or the like; it seems only some Twinhan cards use it and almost no software supports it. VLC seems to have (had?) support. I remember reading about the card on the mythtv changelog - mythtv is what I was after in the first place, so I was hopeful I could get it running and itegrated into mythtv. The fact that the years-old line 1360 fix hasn't been commited, as well as the fact that the CI module driver dst_ca defaults to flooding kernel messages when you use it, leads me to think the driver is really in an alpha state and isn't being developed or supported. If this is true, why is this driver even in mainline kernel, shouldn't it be dropped? Is anyone still working on a unified CI framework so more software might end up supporting the CI on this card? Should I be getting rid of this card and getting something that will waste a PCI slot?? Anyone else out there still even using it?
