[vdr] CAM/CI Dumb Question
Hi I'm looking to use a budget DVB-C card with a CAM/CI module to watch/decrypt. I've used a DVB-T card to watch FTA channels, and really liked the ability to watch/record any combination of channels within the same boquet/TS. Question is, when you're using a CAM to decrypt channels, can it decrypt multiple channels simultaneously like the above for FTA??? Thanks Simon ___ vdr mailing list vdr@linuxtv.org http://www.linuxtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/vdr

Did you check the signal quality of the second card, or just the first card? The femon plugin allows to manually switch to the second card for receiving. Does this only happen on Pro7/Sat1/Kabel1? If yes, its most probably DECT telephone interference, in rare cases it may be related to all vertical transmissions. In any case you may want to switch to the new transponder. See http://www.vdr-portal.de/board/thread.php?threadid=60914 There may be additional side effects, for example, what channel the first card is tuned to, or whether the first card is tuned at all (recording playback), and others. Generally, keep an eye on cables and connectors, bad connections are a common source of trouble. Cheers, Udo ___ vdr mailing list vdr@linuxtv.org http://www.linuxtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/vdr

Do you see any relationship between updating the drivers and the occurrence of these messages in the logfiles? Not really. Hmm, I thought, I had updated them lately, but they're from Feb 22 :-(. Will update soon. One thing changed: my 15 month old son has learned to open the glass doors of the vdr cabinet, and loves to switch on/off that equipment. Thus we had to close the doors completely, which where partly open before and lock the doors which possibly raised the temperature inside vdr a bit (together with the extraordinary warm weather..). Unfortunately, the board isn't supported by lm_sensors :-(, thus I'm not sure, and the dvb cards get pretty warm anyway. Could this result in such effects? On the old system with 1.2.6, we suffered from damaged recordings with heavy blocked pixel trash from time to time, which seemed to be fixed by update to the current stuff.
