Thats right -- but its already supposedly being done in the driver :(

Hmm, I reckon the CI code is mixing up the non-CI cards.. I was having a 
problem like this with my KNC-1-S (nonplus) with CI module.

According to the budget-av.c, the GPIOs for CI are connected as follows:
 * 0 - Vcc/Reset (Reset is controlled by capacitor)
 * 1 - Attribute Memory
 * 2 - Card Enable (Active Low)
 * 3 - Card Detect

However, I also found that GPIO2 controls the frontend on my DVBT card as well 
as the CI module card enable :(

Try adding in:
                        saa7146_setgpio(saa, 2, SAA7146_GPIO_OUTLO);

in budget-av.c/frontend_init() in the bit where it does 
"Enable / PowerON Frontend"

and see if that helps.

Can you explain what the card does - i.e. in "video" mode, can you see a DVB 
signal at all - or is it only video in from the analogue connector on the 
card? I  seem to remember it was either-or, but I can't remember which GPIO 
does the switching.
