Vito, Poor choice of words on my part; the number that is provided by the receiver to the cam is not the units serial number, but a unique 'seed' number that is buried in the prom for each box. This seed number has to be fed to the cam to complete the decoding authorization checking. You wo

Vito, I don't think ( in fact, I'm almost positive... ) that Haup actually sells the CAM's, they just test the modules that are available on the market for compatibility with their boards. Also, the DVB-S card is not sold in the US so they probably will not be very supportive of the idea f

Vito, This is a new development! Its not clear if Dish Network uses normal Nagravision or a customized version ( I fear the latter is true ), but if this works I'd love to know! CAM support in the new drivers still seems a bit spotty too; I'm not sure if the current drivers are 'aware' o

Dish uses a version of Nagravision that I believe is unique to them. If there is a CI ( CAM? ) that will allow a Nagravision smart card then there may be chance, but I was not able to locate any DVB-S CI ( CAM? ) that said it could handle a Nagravision smart card, and even then the Dish versio

Thomas, Part of a satellite LNB function is to 'downconvert' ( re-map ) the received frequency ranges of the LNB ( 3.0-5.0Ghz(c-band) or 10.0-13.0Ghz(ku), approx.) down to the 950-2150Mhz input of the receiver. You should be able to also re-map 'up' from the broadcast/cable range 5-950Mhz

Chris, I have the exact same setup here in the states too and I've been playing with both the TT software for 'doze 98 and the Linux driver/vdr since about March and have yet to have any success under Linux; I've covered much of the same ground you have on the linux side and can confirm: 1)

To All, After recently receiving the new API code from TT that supports the new 2.1 frontend, I'm pretty sure I've isolated a problem with the Auto Spectral Inversion setting. Here in the US there were very few FTA signals that would lock using the TT/Haup software but are easily found an

Klaus & list: Could you share the usual syntax and method to use to apply the provided diff files for VDR back to a working directory, say /VDR/, as an example. I've come a long way learning linux 'phonetically' and have even got samba and the DVB driver to compile, but VDR has been troubles
