Hi,
I can tell another way to do it the cheap way ;-) Using the idea of J=F6rg Riechardt ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) for an IR-reciver with the DVB-S card as mentioned on Hennings page http://www.linuxdvb.tv/documentation/index.html. This is a very easy circuit to use the internal IR-Receiver of the card. It really works fine for me (e.g. with vdr)! I had difficulties in getting the BSS98, but found=20 the BS170 as an equal one. BTW: I tried to do a "nicer" drawing of the circuit with the "eagle" SW, but I didn't find a library with the TSOP IR-receiver...

Can I use any remote controller? I have a learning = remote > controller, can I teach it codes that I can use with VDR? There are several options: 1. Use the IR receiver of the DVB card. Hauppauge now ships the cards = (at the the satellite version) with an IR receiver and a small remote = control which has just enough buttons for VDR. A driver for LIRC is part of the = DVB driver CVS tree. The driver will only work with RC-5 compatible remote controls. RC-5 is a common IR coding scheme used by many manufacturers. = I don't think there are any learing remote controls that do *not* support = RC-5 codes. 2. Use an LIRC-compatible serial receiver. More information is = available on the LIRC homepage (http://www.lirc.org). Pro: you can make the receiver = fit exactly to your needs (i.e. build it into the PC case, use a long cable = to place the receiver far away from the PC). Con: you will have to do some soldering work unless you find a company that ships a prebuilt receiver = to Finland. 3. Use Klaus Schmidinger's circuit (http://www.cadsoft.de/people/kls/vdr/remote.htm) which includes a four-digit channel display. It only works with VDR. 4. Use the IrDA port of your PC. This is probably the easiest way in = terms of hardware availability but the range of the IR receiver is usually = limited to 1-2 meters. > scrambling hacks. The season card was cool at that time. It looked = like > the scrambling methods were really poor, I mean you could implement a The CA (Conditional Access) system used in DVB systems is pretty well designed and it's not possible to use brute force attacks to recover = the unscrambled stream on a PC. The CIMs cannot easily be "modified" but = the smartcards are the weak point of the system and content providers are = not consequently using the methods available to prevent abuse. Anyway, there are problems with the current driver which prevent most = CI modules from working with the DVB card. So, no matter if you've got a = hacked card or a regular subscription, you might not be able to watch a = crypted program anyway ;-) hh --=20 Info: To unsubscribe send a mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe linux-dvb" as subject. -- Info: To unsubscribe send a mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe linux-dvb" as subject.
