According to the developer of the driver, the CI should also work fine when using VDR for playback. |

Many applications for DVB playback currently doesn't support the structure of the combined tuner, eg. with each tuner having their own frontend devices (/dev/dvb/adaptor0/frontend0 and /dev/dvb/adaptor0/frontend1) while the other devices are shared between the tuners (/dev/dvb/adaptor0/demux0 exists, but there's no demux1). In such cases it might be needed to make a workaround with hardlinks, as mentioned in [http://www.mail-archive.com/linux-media@vger.kernel.org/msg43015.html this mail on the linux-media list]. |

Revision as of 21:45, 14 February 2012
A combined DVB-C and DVB-T USB 2.0 device from TechnoTrend with integrated CI.
Overview/Features
TODO - See external product page link below.
Driver support
Both the DVB-C and DVB-T part of the tuner are supported in current kernels. As of kernel 3.2, the CI interface is now also supported and can be used to decrypt pay-TV with the use of a CAM.
Log from initialization on kernel 3.2.5:

Beware that the initialization of the CAM in most cases will fail as seen above ("Invalid PC card inserted") due to the CAM being in sleep-mode. Once an application requests to use the CAM, it will wake up and get initialized automatically. The CI has been tested to work successfully with a DVB-T Viaccess 4.0 CAM and MythTV (v0.24 and v0.25). According to the developer of the driver, the CI should also work fine when using VDR for playback.
Many applications for DVB playback currently doesn't support the structure of the combined tuner, eg. with each tuner having their own frontend devices (/dev/dvb/adaptor0/frontend0 and /dev/dvb/adaptor0/frontend1) while the other devices are shared between the tuners (/dev/dvb/adaptor0/demux0 exists, but there's no demux1). In such cases it might be needed to make a workaround with hardlinks, as mentioned in this mail on the linux-media list.
