Hi to all,
i'm testing this new Technisat card Skystar USB 2 HD CI

It works OK with ProgDVB 6, except reading CAM.
I try with a Diablo 2.3 and T-rex 4.1

If open CAM INTERFACE it remain on "waiting data"

CAMs works ok with DvbViewer PRO.
I have a Skystar HD2 + CI slot too and with this CAM is ok, so i think it's software problem.

I use last driver from Technisat on XP MCE SP3

Using progdvb 6.01 for XP, with my twinhan CI, i have a simular problem:
@ cam interface, I do get the first menu, but after i choose any option, it says menu closed!

I must say, decoding scrabled signals works fine! so, it 's not a real problem to me.

(For the record: I use an official Canal digitaal cam and smartcard)

Update: could be driver-isue, since installed the latest drivers for the Twinhan-card and switched from "Twinhan DTV" to "Digital TV", I get a simular reaction from Digital TV.

Suppose,this is about just another BDA device...

May well be, you'd get an idea, what to look after...

CI, DiSEqC, DVB-S2, all those switches are NOT implemented with BDA, so they require hardware specific device settings (if available yet).
