[mythtv-users] Viewing encrypted DVB-S channels

[Jelte Veldstra]

Since all works fine in Kaffeine the kernel support should be there for your
system. I have used my Canal Digitaal subscription reliably on a FC4 host
running a vanilla 2.6.19 kernel and MythTV 0.20.2 for about a year now. For
me to get it working proved to be a matter of getting that kernel. BTW the
DVB-S adapter in my host is a Twinhan 1030A.

There may be issues with the scanning capabilities in Myth. Another thing to
check is how you tell Myth the LNB is connected (straight to the DVB-S
adapter or is there a LNB switch in between). I have not used the scanning
capabilities of MythTV but used the dvb-apps tools to scan for channels. You
could try the same and select the three lines for Nederland 1 till 3 out of
this scan. Then in mythtv-setup drop the DVB-S adapter and all associated
inputs and channels. Then add the adapter again, set the LNB access up,
create new inputs and use the previously created channels scan with the
three Nederland 1-3 channels.

That should give you a working config with the three Nederland channels. If
that works reliably you can start importing the other Dutch channels as
well.

Good luck! I have spent a lot of time on this as well, but now comparing it
with analog cable, it has been well worth the effort.

Regards,


Jelte

P.S. Another route to try is using a Phoenix interface for the Canal
Digitaal smartcard and sasc-ng as a softcam. Googling for NewCS and sasc-ng
should give you pointers on this setup.
