Netherlands
Hello All,
As i took the plunge and bought this card (and ci module).. I faced some things to do before it worked 100%.
This manual is for:
Digital cable provider - Ziggo Netherlands (others in the Netherlands should work also, except UPC)
Thought i make a manual and help somebody out facing the same challenge since digital devices manuals are not specific for the netherlands and dutch cable providers.
Maybe this manual will even make you get one
This info should provide you with enough to get everything going and run 4 channels at the same time with no stuttering whatsoever, its really a great stable product, and a breeze compared to my old floppy dtv cards, worth every penny.
Also nice feature: it only needs 1 smartcard! , but there is something you need to configure otherwise it can only use 3 tuners, see CAM settings change.
hardware used:
Alphacrypt CAM Classic (minimum firmware 3.16 and up)
191203 Cine CT V6 & DuoFlex CT (SET) - 4 Tuner DVB-C/T for PCIe
092003 DD CI Expansion modul - Common Interface Expansion-modul
no need for splitters to connect cable provider, just connect one, and use a short male/female, to loop through the second tuner, the second tuner also has a "cable out" if you need to patch it thought to somewhere else (why ? )
Installing the hardware was easy, as I had room for 4 floppy dtv cards on firewire , you can imagine , i have some room to spare now in my case, fitting the pcie card was easy, the CI module came in a separate box, but was easily connected with the flatcable. The only problem i have is that the flatcable is only 25 cm , so cant reach the front of my case where I had build in 2 of my old floppycards in a 5'25 caddy.. The card is intended to be fitted next to other pcie cards on the back so dont blame them. (it doesnt need a pcieslot though)
Next up: insert Alphacrypt cam Classic in your cam module and smartcard in the cam.
Power up machine.
Install drivers supplied by Digital-devices.de from this link
Drivers are on the bottom, select x32 or x64 (I run it on Windows2008R2 , see signature)
http://shop.digital-devices.de/epag...ps/62357162/Categories/Downloads/TV_Karten_DD
just (default) install all the choices, (warning german setup , it will be in English after the installer. )
When done, find the iconless DVBCineConfig program located in folder Digital Devices on your startmenu.
Run it.
Configure CT Tuner (next)
Select as shown in the picture and click next (it probably wants a reboot).
Start DVBCineConfig again.
Click Next on Common Interface Module
Should look like this:
Click on Alphacrypt
pay attention, you need to first select "moduleoptions" and then click OK
Select Expertmenu and click OK
Select - Go to expert menu and click OK.
Make it look like this , and everything will be fine, (CA registration on STATIC is the important part,so you can use 4 tuners instead of only 3 , tuner 4 will see all channels as encrypted if you leave it on "dynamic"!)
next
Select Parental Control and click OK
When asked for a pin and you dont know it , just enter 0000 and click OK.
Make it look like above, and select quit a few times followed with the OK button.
Enable all 4 tuners, then go into MP configuration again.
Now you can edit every tuner.
Make every tuner look like this:
(note even though the cam limit is 1 , if 2 people tune into the same channel it will still use only 1 tuner!)
If you done it correctly it should look like this:
now you can scan for channels , or when you upgraded from a different card, you can map all channels to the new tuners, and go watch some TV.
If you have any questions feel free to ask..
