My Conax CI has some Problem with some TV Station that are modulate on some Channel ( not really clear for me, have to check that later ) This is a known Problem !

History about my Digital Home
After I read a Artikel in the german c't 23/2002 ( [1] Sonderwege von Georg Schnurer ) a Success Story about a Digital Home Implementation, it was clear for me that someday I also want something like this.
I will write here about my experiences installing a LinuxMCE Server, I hope this time I will have success. I also want to share my Expirense to other users who maybe want to do the same.
Setup Development
The Development System should be a Playground to learn what can LinuxMCE and what not. I try to do a Hybrid Setup with a old PC. It's clear for me that it's not for production use, but before I invest more Money I d'like to have a complet LinuxMCE Solution up and running.
At my Home I have a Internet Connection to my local Cableprovider with a Bride, my Firewall is a Pfsense with 3 Interfaces ( WAN,LAN,WLAN ). This Firewall is my Defaultrouter. At the LAN Side I have a central Server with all necessary services ( DHCP, DNS Forward, ftp, smb,nfs,ntp, ) on a old Proliant. Now i have connected the LinuxMCE dev. Server Orion with the external NIC to this LAN and the other NIC is then the LinuxMCE Standard Net ( with the IP Range 192.168.80/24 )
Target is to setup the LinuxMCE dev. Server with MythTV and all other Services. I want live TV, scheduling and DVD / Video ripping, etc.

Hybrid Install Logbook
-- Markab 22:01, 5 January 2009 (CET)
- after check out the Forum I decide to go with a DVD Installation I download the i386 and the amd64 images from the torrent mirrors describe on the Wikipage Mirrors 710
- With this DVD I was not able to do a Installation, stops every time right at the beginning. The question about the Harddisk overwrite does not come up.
- Luck that I found the DVD that provide Hari to me, with this DVD the Installation I was able to start the 32bit Installation and finish it.
- I try to follow this Installation Guide and found than the DVD Install Guide DVD Installation
- During the Installation I add my Monitor over the S-Video Connector from the PVR-350 but nothing appear. Only the VGA works. In the AV Wizard it is not clar for me what sort of connection should i take and why my TV-out from the PVR-350 does not work.
- I hear the sound and also did the House Setup Wizard, but I did not modify the Network as describe in the DVD Install Page ( found it to late )
Problems:
- MythTV don't work, not clear for me howto setup my TV - Cards ( digital DVB-C and analog PVR-350 )
- Connection to Internet don't work, so I also can't update my Installation or install the DVD restricted Drivers
- remote connection from my lAN don't work, not clear what is wrong IP / routing ok
- check Graphikcard to support min. UI2 medium, maybe new Card needed
- Mediadirector needed to check LinuxMCE functonality

It's always really frustrating if you don't get any success. But I don't want to give up and try it again. If someone can give me a hint I really appreciate that! Thx Mike
Next steps:
Wiki pages to check:
- DVD Installation
- Hybrid
- Use a satellite/cable box with the PVR
- LinuxMCE Admin Website
- Selecting the Right UI
- Outside Access

Finished the DVD Installation Setup with the Networkpart, also deactivate the firewall. Does not lock like it would help.
I get some initial DHCP IP, also routing locks OK, but I can't ping my server and also have no access to the internet.
There is a program after the DHCP - Client that change something.

Ok got it! It was the Conax CI Modul. After check the Signal strength over my cable modem I go to my provider and he check the conax module in a TV. My Conax CI has some Problem with some TV Station that are modulate on some Channel ( not really clear for me, have to check that later ) This is a known Problem ! The only Conax CI that works for my Provider is the Techisat Technicrypt CX Module ( Art-Nr.: 941304-62 ~100 CHF ex. www.conrad.ch )
Also my DVB-C Card from Satelco does not work, also not with this new Conax CI Card. Only the Mystique CaBiX-C2 works now OK. Also HD does work but need hugh CPU load, some Channels crash immediately.
Some Strange Errors left --> DTVSM(0) Error: Wrong PMT; pmt->pn. No Idea what's that

Also some Channels locks like they don't have EPG data.

Ups Channels where not set to get EPG, now it's OK.
Just have to buy a Frontend for testing on my TV.
Setup Production ( Planed )
Because my File Server is near EOL ( it's a old ML530 with Pentium3 in ) I will probably buy a HP ProLiant ML115 Generation 5 (G5). But this new Server has no PCI Slots anymore. Because it should be the Core, I need min. 2 Slots for the DVB-C Cards. At ARP I found a Expansion Box, PCI-E to PCI, with 4 Slots, that should fit my needs.
