Jiehaaa!
Attached to this message is the dvbc autotuning file for TVhome Digitaal users in the Netherlands. I live in Groningen, so maybe it's localised. If this is the case, please let me know.

*Descrambling does not work, becaus eTwinhan drivers are using a different Descrambling Api than it is used in the MP Twinhan classes.
Another Problem is, that the new Api-Commands need a modified PMT (called CAPMT) which is not delivered by the MPSA, which only sends the normal PMT.

-Status: Working -CAM: Viaccess V3
-CAM Firmware: Rev 1.0
-DVB Provider: Boxer
-Status: NOT Working

I know this is a known failure and the API call from this driver is changed so I can only see free to air channels for the moment.
However its possible to see locked channels by using DVB MCE CI Plug in tool.
You find it here: http://www.twinhan.com/download_driver&software.asp

I wonder if there ever will be possible to get the subtext for channels like Animal Planet Canal+ etc..
When I use other softvare like TwinhanDTV i get subtext for this channels.
It could come from teletext which is possible by using page 199 in Sweden.
I tried this in MP and the text appeared but with black backgroung!

THX to dman_LFC,
it works with CAM type default. It seems to work faster and better as original software.
Great job!!

Card seems to work reasonably, BUT there are some issues:

* Needed several scan to find all channels. Most other apps I tried needed just one scan. I think some of the listening timings per frequency should be changed.

* HDTV does not work. HDTV Channels don't show up in the list after multiple scans, even though Mediaportal was able to successfully lock on to the frequency. Both MPEG2 (Discovery HD) and H264 channels do no work. Discovery HD does work in other software.

* VBI-data shows on top of the screen. The standard software has an option to remove the VBI-Data at the top of the screen. Most other software does this automatically. After viewing several channels, it seems the card needs to have some default crop-settings.

* On several 16:9 channels, the black boxes above and below the picture are visible, but not as entirely black (but grey). Standard software (TwinhanDTV) does not have this issue.
