Just read this msg (not the whole thread). Just in case your cable provider is 
Kabel Deutschland, you most likely got one of the newer smartcards which are 
not yet supported by any available CAM module. Take a look at your smartcard, 
if there is anything like K02/03 or K09 on it, you are in trouble. :( K02 is 
just fine.

So just in case you ended up with the wrong smartcard: you could try to get KD 
to swap it for a K02 one. As far as I know, only customers with an aging dbox 
or anything like it, get K02 ones. The hotline agent will ask you for the 
receiver serial number... that's how they verify what box you have and what 
smartcard you get. No serial number, no smartcard.

I believe to remember that Mascom has announced they are working on supporting 
the newer cards with their AlphaCrypt CAMs.

Hope I could help.

Have a nice weekend,
matthew.
