Got an HD01 card, a Debian server and Tvheadend? This is the working chain: HD01 → HID OMNIKEY 3121 → pcscd → OSCam → Tvheadend CAPMT → Kodi/PVR. Use your own subscribed card. Keep the whole card-server path local. 🧵

Infographic titled “HD01 → Debian → Tvheadend.” It shows the chain HD01 card (CAID 1830), HID OMNIKEY 3121 reader, pcscd, OSCam, Tvheadend CAPMT, and Kodi/PVR. Seven checklist boxes cover installing PC/SC packages; verifying a valid ATR; building OSCam with PC/SC, Nagra and DVBAPI; keeping RSA/box values and card identifiers private; limiting polkit access to the OSCam service user; configuring Tvheadend CAPMT with matching loopback-only placeholders; tuning a known working HD+ channel and sending one official activation; and testing HD+, FTA, recording, reboot and reader reseat recovery.
