> Added CAM and Language Encoding fixes from Jesper Sörensen.
> DVB-S options in cardsetup and input setup hidden for dvb-c 
> and dvb-t users.

Just started a test run with the new patch version:
 * Startup Runs into a timeout waiting for a non - existing CAM Module - while my Hauppauge Nexus-s supports CAMs, I don't have any installed (yet). If possible, it would be nice to only wait for CAM initialisation if such a module actually exists.  

2004-11-14 22:10:54.050 DVB#0 Using DVB card 0, with frontend ST STV0299 DVB-S.
2004-11-14 22:10:54.618 DVB#0 CA: Initializing CI handler
2004-11-14 22:10:54.618 DVB#0 CA: Waiting for CAM...
2004-11-14 22:11:05.016 DVB#0 ERROR - CA: Timeout while waiting for CAM

* Scan now shows correct channel names.

* During scan I get errors about too many open files
Table 02 loaded
2004-11-14 22:21:06.768 DVB#0 ERROR - Failed to open section filter (pid 319)
          (24) Too many open files

Channel Scan did finish, but the list of discovered channels is not complete; 304 channels were discovered while dvbscan lists 516. Some of the FTA channels I actually use are missing.

* mythbackend can't seem to find the startup channel;

2004-11-14 22:57:16.891 DVB#0 ERROR - Unable to find channel in database.
2004-11-14 22:57:16.891 DVB#0 ERROR - Failed to get channel options for channel 1140.

Both channel 1140 and the cooresponding dvb_transport are in the database.

* "watch tv" on mythfrontend aborts because it can't get data fromthe backend - must be same error as above.

So for now I've got to revert the patch as I can't make dvb reception work at all after using it.
