here are the logfiles

By the way,
my Tunercard is a Digital Devices Cine S 6.5, I read in oolder threads that the hardware ist not supportted. Has this behaviour changed?

Maybe, from your last set of logs the problem is no longer the server connection. Does the scan work with MDAPI removed?

Martin

What is MDAPI? Where can I remove that?

That's it!
I disabled my Cam-modul with the Cine-config-Tool. rebootet the machine, now the scan runs! but it will only show SD Channels, no HD and no Sky broadcasting! Could it be that die Ci-modul from Digital devices isn't compatible with NPVR?

CI modules are only used for decrypting, and AFAIK only Technotrend and Hauppauage CI's are supported. It should however not prevent your tuner from beeing able to detect the channels during scan. Are you scanning "All Countries All channels"?

[sharp76]

It did!
I disabled the communication of the Tunercard with die CI and everything worked so far. EPG is loaded, channel switching ist working etc.
I have a Quad-Tuner-System, three tuners are still with CI-Support, they are for viewing TV in my house via DVBViewer and XBMC, one tuner is for NetxtPVR and mobile Wachting on smartphone and tablet. Hope that Digital Devies card will been supported soon, they are very common in Germany and Europe.

The question is not about the card beeing common or not, but every manufacturer has their own "standard" for interfacing the CI, and unless they are willing to document it and give Sub a set of hardware he has no way to implement it. For the card without CI you can use Newcs (cardserver) and Acamd (softcam) to decrypt the encrypted channels. That way ou can also benefit from npvr's multidec feature, ie record/watch more than one channel simultanously on the same tuner, provided the channels are on the same frequency. It works very well, I have scrapped my CI/CAM's long ago

Ok. I will give it a try, ordered a Phoenix smartcard reader for testing! ;-)

Hope it will not too complicated!
