Hi there,
I just encountered a weird problem with a new TechnoTrend C-1501 DVB-C card
with CI module (SAA7146 based). The CAM seems to work fine ONLY if I remove and
re-insert the whole CI module after booting. When I don't do that, I cannot
receive any program (could not try non-encrypted channels since my provider
encrypts all digital channels). After re-inserting the card, everything works
as it should.
Since the computer is not permanently powered on, and the back of the computer
is hard to access, this is a very unsatisfying condition;
Is there a way to re-initialize the module after rebooting or any other way to
simulate re-insertion of it by software?

The first line is right after booting, the second after re-inserting the CI-
module.
