  • Dear all


    I am just building the best HTPC ever! :dish::tv::popcorn1::beer1:


    My aim is to watch TV on through this PC so I have everything integrated in KODI. I have a valid SKY subscription and want watch only what I already pay for.


    Currently, two issues are blocking my progress:

    • My card's ATR is not on listed on PCSC database and hence is not identified by https://smartcard-atr.appspot.com/
    • I have no idea what is the CAID:PROVIDER of the card hence I cannot config OSCAM correctly.

    Many thanks if anybody could help!

    what caid it ?

    He has no idea which caid it is which is why he asked this;

    I have no idea what is the CAID:PROVIDER of the card hence I cannot config OSCAM correctly.

    Looking at his previous posts he`s trying to configure a SKY BRASIL card.


    Maybe hoffmann can help, he was also trying to configure this card recently.


    OSCAM AND CARD SKY Brasil

  • Nobody has any tip?


    What about the GL54 card? Any Brazilians here were able to descramble it?


    So... isn't it possible to descramble all cards? Some yes and some no, even if all of them use Videoguard2?
