[mythtv-users] [OT] General dvb-c CAM question

[Johan Kihlström]

Hello,

In order to make this work you'll need a CI(Common Interface) where you 
attach your  CAM-module(where you put your CAM-Card) You also need a 
full-featured DVB-C card with support for a CI/CAM and the right 
CAM-module for your particular vendor's encryption system

Here in Sweden there are at least two different encryptions available 
depending on DVB-provider
(Viaccess, Conax)

Since my provider uses a Viaccess encryption, I use a Viaccess CAM. 
Here's a good possibility of compatibility problems as certain versions 
of the CAM-module may be incompatible with your provider's system.

So if you have a full-featured DVB-C Card with a CI and the right 
CAM-module it should work.
(typical full featured DVB-C card is Technotrend C2300 / Hauppauge 
Nexus-CA which can use a CI/CAM)
Over here there was a lot of problems with Viaccess CAM-modules older 
than v4.84
But right now my system is up and running, just a few small tweaks in 
the channel database to get it all in place.

So if you can find out what kind of encryption they're running you 
should be able to get a working setup.

Good luck

/Johan
