VU+ Solo2 + OpenPLi: Tivùsat CI+ module or card-only with OSCam?

    Hi,

    I have a VU+ Solo2 running OpenPLi 8.3-release, and I would like to know if it is possible to use a CI+ (PCMCIA) module with a Tivùsat card (green card).


    More specifically:

    - Is the CI+ (not only CI) module compatible with the VU+ Solo2 hardware?

    - Can a Tivùsat CI+ module + card work on this receiver?

    - Is it possible to use it together with OSCam ?

    - Are there any known limitations with OpenPLi regarding CI+ on this model?

    - Or would the card alone be sufficient, without using a CI+ module?


    I recently own the Tivùsat smartcard, but I do not have the CI / CI+ CAM (PCMCIA module) yet.

    Before buying a CAM compatible with the card, I would like to be sure whether this setup can work on the VU+ Solo2.


    I’m not sure if the CI+ interface is fully supported on the VU+ Solo2, so I’d appreciate feedback from anyone who has tested this setup or has technical knowledge about it.


    Thanks in advance for your help!

    Hello,

    NO, it is not possible for the GREEN card to be read on a CAM, only the black card with its CAM4k as shown in the image.

    I have personally tested this on my VU+ devices.

    The GREEN card only works in its official SKY receiver.


    If you are referring to this GREEN card ====> NO !!

    Hello,


    Ok, so, if I understand correctly, the CI+ module itself is compatible with the VU+ Solo2.

    Do I need a specific version of OSCam for this to work properly?


    Thank you very much for your reply, it really helps me.

    Normally, OSCAM is used if you do NOT use CAM, but if you have a GREEN card, it is also impossible.

    Currently, OSCAM for the Tivusat card is only GOLD or the old orange or light blue ones.

    Yes, but I think the gold cards or the old orange cards will soon become obsolete.

    From what I’ve read, only the black and green cards will remain, so I would like to choose a solution that will last in the long term.


    If I buy a CAM + black card, then in theory everything should work directly, without using OSCam, if I understand correctly.

    Yes, that's right, if you need to buy a CAM + a Tivusat card, I recommend the black one, then you just need to install the right c+Helper plugin in your image and it works!

    Ok, in that case I will buy the black card.

    Do you think it is possible to activate the card directly using the VU+ Solo2 (for example by tuning to Canale 5 and calling the activation phone number)?

    I also have an official Tivùsat receiver (no CAM) with a green card, but I assume I won’t be able to use it to activate the black card, correct ?

    The Green and Black card, if I remember well, are 1856 ID (not 183d SD or 183e HD/Gold-SilverUHD), so the black Cam working with the black card, could potentially be compatible with the Green 1856 card. Someone tested ?

    I haven't tried it myself because I don't have it. But logically, it should work.

    That's why I don't write about things I haven't tested.

    I confirm, it works.
