Problems with CA module

[jarpell]

Hi Guys,

 

For some reason when I insert my CA module (Reality cam 4+) I cannot view any channels anymore ( for example a free BVN channel cannot be viewed, shows a black screen). When I remove the CA module, the channel becomes visible immediately. My satellite card is Azurewave AD-SP400. Im not sure if this is some simple configuration error or a software/driver issue.. Is there anything that you need to do to enable the CA module (besides in the hardware tad, select has CA module)?

 

 

Thanks again for the help!

a driver issue most likely.

Hi Lars,

 

Thanks for the quick response

 

I read from the forums that you have(had) the same dvb-s card? If so, could you perhaps send me the drivers you got the CA to to work with or tell me which ones you would recommend? I tried the latest ones I could find (1.1.0.400) but still having problems with it.

 

 

Thanks

It's not that easy. It depends on the CA module you use. I have experienced it myself with a technisat CAM. One dvb-card (twinhan) did not work at all, on card (Firedtv) suddenly produced only discontinuities even on FTA channels or didn't tune at all and one card (tt3200) worked without problems. My Alphacrypt CAM does work with every card (most manufacturers take it as reference).

You could try getting the latest driver for your card but it is no guarantie the CAM will work... For the Twinhan (aka azurewave) I have it is the 1.1.0.400 BDA-driver.

Using S2-3200 with CI and Conax CAM I found out that older versions of the CAM did produce things like:

 

DVBViewer hangs even on FTA, need pull out , plug in CAM to restart.

With newer versions of Conax CAM (version id underneath a sticker on backside of CAM) it works flawless.

 

DVBViewer should try to be a litle less picky and a litle bit more robust than to hang on this (especially being tuned to FTA)

It has been a problem for many.

Having Timer recordings pending its a killer when it hangs.

 

For me the problem is now fixed but just by plain luck beacuse I stumbled on a newer CAM version.

Not a DVBViewer problem. It's the driver and the dvb-card and the CAM. So there needs nothing to be done on our side.

If the CAM or drivers output shit, then even the DVBViewer can't do anything against it. Try different applications and you'll get the same results..
