ecm times go high intermittently

Hi All,
My current ubuntu server 12.04 is running a 0963 card in a smargo using cccam only. Over the past week or so the ecm times on some channels are in the 130ms region but others are as high as 1.09 s. I don't know if I need to substitute the smargo with a new one etc.
All was working OK for the past 18 months up to this. Any suggestions welcome.

try oscam works a lot better.

Thanks for that.
That was my plan B. I wanted to make sure that everything was ok with my smargo etc in case I brought the problem over to my oscam setup.
Have you any thoughts on smargo V omnikey for reading the 0963 card.

YES _

I done back to back test and posted results here on the forum somewhere a couple of years ago now.

Omnikey with debian server ecm time down to 89ms local newcamd protocol in CCcam ( using N Line )
Smargo with debian server ecm time always over 100 ms _ i think 120 ?

I think omnikey is a better reader for that job in my experience > i will search posts later see if i can find :bong:

Thanks buddy,
I think I will see where I can buy an omnikey and give it a try. I intend to use it on a debian server 12.04 with oscam / cccam setup.
