Hardware CAM startup/init loops

Lars Rasmussen

Hello,

I've just got a Digital Devices DVB-T tuner and a CAM module for it. My problem is that the CAM dosen't start/inited properly.
I'm running build 4.3-1292~g9b9ee6859~bionic on Ubuntu Server 18.04.1 Bionic.
It process just loops:

Hello,

I've added some more details in my first post.

I still hope that someone can help since the hardware wasn't cheap.

with version of DD module you use

Lars Rasmussen

I'm using Cine V7.

Software not hardware.

Lars Rasmussen

I'm sorry but I'm not sure what you mean by DD then. The drivers should be in the kernel since 4.14 (https://www.digital-devices.eu/shop/en/custom/index/sCustom/102). I'm running 4.15.0-32-generic.

lets make simple test:
stop tvheadend service

usinggnutv -cammenu do you have access to CAM

p.s.
Modul isCI orCI+

Lars Rasmussen

I've stopped the service and ran the command (after installing dvb-apps) but there is nothing displayed in the terminal. The command is running (had to ctrl+c to exit it) but again noting is displayed.
It's a CI module.

Saen Acro

Model of CI Module?

Lars Rasmussen

It's a Neotion PRD-MCV3-4010. I have attached some pictures of it.

Until someone confirm it is supported (cam module)
why not use regular card reader + oscam

Lars Rasmussen

My parents also got TV from the same provider (Boxer TV) and i discovered that one of their TVs got a CAM in it from another manufacturer. I've lent it and it works :) They agreed to swap mine with theirs.

Thank you for your help @saen arco
