I have the same problem as reported above: after cold boot, tuning the TBS6981 tuner VDR does not give any picture when first channel tuned is encrypted HD channel. When tuned to SD-channel or non-encrypted HD-channel, picture comes, and from then tuning to any encrypted HD-channel is possible.
I have two Technotrend Budget cards and one TBS6981 card in my system; when disabling both budgetcards with the -D command-line parameter on VDR start, all goes well, so this seems to be more VDR related than driver-related.
I have tested on VDR 1.7.21, kernel 2.6.32 , latest TBS6981 drivers (version V2.0.0.21).
For me this workaround on startup of VDR works:
- Code: Select All Code
#workaround: tune adapters 2 and 3 to ARTE HD so they will tune OK next time on HD encrypted channel
/usr/local/src/TBS6981_V2.0.0.21/szap-s2/szap-s2 -c /usr/local/vdr/etc/channels.conf -x -n 79 -a 2
/usr/local/src/TBS6981_V2.0.0.21/szap-s2/szap-s2 -c /usr/local/vdr/etc/channels.conf -x -n 79 -a 3
Hope this info is of use to anyone.
