Edit the file dvbdevice.c, insert a line "return true;" at the beginning 
of the method cDvbDevice::ProvidesCa.
With this modification you can tune to encoded channels, however you'll 
never see a "channel not available", you'll just see a black screen.
This, btw, also solves the problem of channels that declare they're 
scrambled when they aren't.
