It would appear that I enjoy speaking to myself on this mailer ;-)

Anyway, good news is that the issue had to do with a defective cable 
that was bridging the Budget CI and the TT S-1500. It is now functional 
and descrambles the Viaccess streams I needed to test against.

Later today I will update the wiki pages with the details of my setup:

Hopefully this might be useful to others too.
