Hi Ragge I have the same card as you have but now it works OK. When I used the offical pre2 driver I had disturbances in both sound and picture but now when I:m using the .25 driver with your nice plugin for undertext all distubances are gone.
The card likes a stable strong signal from the antenna. When disturbed for some reason VDR often crashes. I then need to use tzap to tune in the card again. I haven�t had time to investigate what is the problem. Now to my question: As you pointed out many cannels in Sweden are coded. VDR works OK for the free SVT channels but I can�t get it work for the other coded channels. My ViaAccess card reader is recognized by VDR and I can open the card under Setup in VDR. But no decoding. The advice from the VDR people was to use firmware decoding but I just couldn�t get that to work. VDR behaves strangely. I don�t know if this is a question for the VDR mailing list but I hope you have solved the problem.
