[linux-dvb] Terratec Cinergy DVB C PCI CI - CI working?

[Karim 'Kasi Mir' Senoucci]

Hello everyone,
I've got the Terratec Cinergy C PCI HD card with the CI extension and am 
currently trying to get this to work with Mythbuntu 7.10. So far, I've 
got a working TV signal and a more or less complete list of the Kabel 
Deuttschland DVB-C channels. I can even watch the free-to-air channels 
without any problems. 

The encrypted channels (of which there are legion) are another matter, 
though. AS I wrote above, I have the CI addon, I have a AlphaCrypt CAM 
capable of decoding the Cable encryption, plus I've got a keycard which 
actually can decode about 100 channels. 

But still, MythTV doesn't decode any encrypted channels - which leads me 
to my question: is the CI supported by Linux? As far a I can see, there 
is no line containing CI oder CAM in any logfile written by the linux 
system. 

Can anybody help me out here? Any help is appreciated; if you need more 
input, just ask and I will try to provide the info. 

Greetings
Kasi Mir

Did you get the latest v4l-dvb from http://linuxtv.org/repo/? If not, 
try that first.

When you insert your CAM, you should be able to read some message with 
dmesg about the card having been initialized or having failed. You 
should also have a /dev/dvb/adapterN/ca0.

Also check your CI cable. They fail quite often.

I did.

Nothing appears in dmesg, nor does anything CI-related appear any other 
logfile that I know of. The only thing appearing over and over again in 
dmesg is "mantis start feed & dma" and "mantis stop feed and dma". 

Sadly, there is no "/dev/dvb/adapterN/ca0", either.

CI, CAM and Smartcard are working perfectly with Windows, so I assume 
there's nothing wrong with the CI cable.
