TT-S1500 budget-ci registeration

Hello to all,

I'm currently testing a TT-S1500 budget card with the TT budget CI adapter with vl4 tree and kernel 2.6.28.

When I modprobe budget_ci, the CI adapter seems to be detected but not registered in /dev/dvb/adapter3/ca0 as I would have expected it to be.

Instead I see the following output:

[  148.664846] input: Budget-CI dvb ir receiver saa7146 (0) as /devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:1e.0/0000:11:09.0/input/input5

Any suggestions/ideas what the cause may be and how I can attempt to solve this?

Thanks
Thomas

And I realised I cut and pasted the wrong line: I was expecting to see "budget_ci: CI interface initialised" after the other line but nothing of the like did appear. Nor any line indicating an error.

As one can see from the lspci the drivers claim to be in use:

Am I missing a point here? I can't find anything that addresses this in the LinuxTV wiki or in the archives of the mailing list.

Thanks

It would appear that I enjoy speaking to myself on this mailer ;-)

Anyway, good news is that the issue had to do with a defective cable that was bridging the Budget CI and the TT S-1500. It is now functional and descrambles the Viaccess streams I needed to test against.

Later today I will update the wiki pages with the details of my setup:

Hopefully this might be useful to others too.
