    Start MediaPortal and go through the steps of trying to display an Austar channel, wait a couple of minutes then shutdown MediaPortal.

    Go to your MediaPortal/Logs directory and you will see a bunch of log files. Open the MediaPortal.log file in Notepad, and copy and paste its contents here... :)

    This is new Log file.
    I can see no obvious erros here.
    However, the station is not displaying vision or sound.
    As card 2 (a DVB-T card) works I will log its usage and compare with below to see if I can spot any obvious differences.

    This log is using card 1-Austar---no display then changing to DNTlive-ABC--Displays.
    I can't see the diiference in the log, but one displays, the other doesn't

    I have found the cause of the problem!
    Media Portal is in fact working with the Hauppage-Nova-s card.
    I have found that the unscrambled shows like Expo and TVSN are displayed correctly.
    It is only the shows that are scrambled that will not display.
    I have an authentic Austar subscription card that works with the Technotrend BDA software.
    Unfortunately Media Portal does not recognize the Austar card.
    Would this be difficult to achieve?

    Tuning Austar on Media Portal-Win TV-s with CI

    I noticed this comment in the forum. Does the CI information I obtained from Technotrend allow it to be implemented into Media Portal?

    "Reason for this is that these are the only two cards for which we know how the CI interface works. All other manufacturers consider this a secret and only give away documentation under non-disclosure.
    Being an opensource project, there is no way we can sign a non-disclosure agreement Sad

    So we add support for any card which has an CI interface, but only
    if we receive the documentation and/or sample code on how to do this. "
