Hello everyone,
Please excuse me if I came to the wrong place with my question, but I've been searching high and low and couldn't find a definitive answer to my question. Is it at all possible to use a TwinHan Mantis 2033 card with integrated CI to receive encrypted DVB-C under Linux?

I've got the whole setup working quite well using Windows XP and Mediaportal, so hardware-wise things are ok and I managed to compile a list of frequencies and symbol rates from the Windows applications to use for tuning in Linux. Sadly though I get no further than a custom-compiled 2.6.18.1 kernel that loads the mantis module and seems to detect my card, but no channels are ever found when tuning even though there are a few FTA channels available to me. Also, is it normal for the mantis module to put a line in syslog whenever it changes frequencies?

I simply don't feel like buying a soon-to-be-EOL'ed OS just to do something that I feel MythTV+Linux does better so I hope there's a way to do this. If not, any suggestions for different DVB-C hardware that I can use to view Irdeto2 encrypted TV?

Thanks for any help!

Bas

Also please try the latest kernel (2.6.24).
