I have a Typhoon DVB-S card, the same type that KNC1 makes (just without the saa7113) and also sold by Terratec under the name Cinergy 1200. I have requested datasheets or information about how to properly communicate with the Common Interface on this card for over a month now, but to no avail. You have mostly ignored my request for information about this interface, and how to program it. I have added the linux communitys dvb hotspot mailing list to the list of recipients, to show them your ignorance over your customers that want to help your company make it into new markets.
I know for a fact that someone that formerly worked at convergence already has the information I request, so I hope you will actually respond to this e-mail at least. Please remember that I'm actually trying to make you help me help you, because if the CI interface is also supported in Linux your low cost line of cards would be attractive to a lot more open-source customers.

It would have been nice to at least receive a rejection for my request about datasheets on the Typhoon DVB-S card, specifically the CI interface connected to the DEBI port of the SAA7146. I've got the card working by making some modifications to the linuxtv.org budget-av driver a while back, and recently aquired a CI-interface to complete this setup (I live in norway, where most channels are encrypted, and I have a subscription with Canal Digital). The problem is that anyhow I try to contact the CI interface/CAM through the DEBI ports, I only get garbage (or static) data back, ie I'm not even reaching the attribute memory of the pc card. If you could provide me with some information on how to reach the pc card attribute memory, I belive that I should be able to handle the rest of the implementation by myself. Hope for a positive answer. Regards, Kenneth J. Aafl�y -------------------------------------------------------
