  • Hi , first time trying NDS cards . Notice somethings that looks strange:


    - no matter the boxid value - card always initialize successfully - even with 00000001 .

    - base year - always 1997

    - valid to - bizarre date , even card is updated and working in provider receiver .


    Can someone please confirm that this is normal for oscam , and expected , rather than wrong boxid or misconfiguration ?


    ps - older versions show 2004 .





    On version : 2.25.05-11884@76c92a2c (x86_64-linux-gnu)
