Technotrend TT-Connect CT 3650 and dvb_ca

Hello Everyone !

I have three DVB-C devices of the type mentioned, connected to my
mythtv-server which have been working great for a long time. As my cable
provider now are planning to start encrypting all channels, I have
bought a Xcrypt CAM module as needed. I soon realised that I needed to
upgrade the kernel and are now running kernel /: 3.2.0-17-generic
#27-Ubuntu SMP Fri Feb 24 22:03:50 UTC 2012 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64
GNU/Linux/ .

When inserting the module everything looks well :

/dvb_ca adapter 0: DVB CAM detected and initialised successfully/

The problems start when trying to watch an encrypted channel. I do get a
channel lock in myth, so far so good, but no picture...

In my syslog I see the following :

/dvb_ca adapter 0: CAM tried to send a buffer larger than the link
buffer size (32896 > 255)!
dvb_ca adapter 0: CAM tried to send a buffer larger than the ecount size!
dvb_ca adapter 0: DVB CAM link initialisation failed :(/

Any ideas on what might be wrong ?

Best regards,

Johan

Hi Johan,

I have a similar problem which happens every few days with this card.
For me it helps to remove and reinsert the kernel module whenever this
happens.
"rmmod -f dvb_usb_ttusb2 && modprobe dvb_usb_ttusb2"

see also the following unresolved threads:
