Hi Mauro,

Sorry for the late reply about
> Mar, 1 2010: firedtv: add parameter to fake ca_system_ids in CA_INFO          
>       http://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/82912

The reason why I wanted to make this fix in the kernel driver and not in MythTV 
was that the problem was hardware related and not MythTV related.
I.e. I wanted to compensate in the kernel driver and not in the specific 
application for the shortcoming of this one hardware.
MythTV uses the CI as allowed by the specification, but due to the shortcomings 
in the card's firmware, the driver is unable to answer one of the CI
messages correctly. The current implementation tries to guess an answer (which 
is often the correct one) using the manufacturer ID as the
CA_system_id, but since that is not always true, sometimes the driver will 
simply lie in its answer.

I can understand your reluctance to the patch since it adds a parameter that 
requires quite some low level knowledge to use. However, I still see
that this should be corrected in the kernel driver of the "faulty" hardware and 
not in a specific application.

Regards,
Henrik
