How can I check a client local card is what he said ?

Don't forget to add this to the end of a cline when testing the local
no { 0:0:1 }
as sometimes a fraudster will have the package available on hop2 and you'll assume his local is working if the channel clears.

to see on tv
just to add:
in your .cfg file you will see this:
SHOW EXTENEDED CLIENT INFO : yes
SHOW TIMING : yes
MINI OSD : yes
ZAP OSD TIME : 3
I suggest you try it out if you want to see the timing on your tv ;)

caz it works perfect awsome stuff, been looking for this for ages

Thank you master G

Is this still valid now with oscam around?

Cheers

This is one of the important questions, that you need to keep an eye on it, as you find genuine people and others that are less genuine when you exchange, so it is always a good practice to verify that the card you are getting is suitable for you as sometimes even when it is a genuine person his card might not be suitable for you because of extremely long ping time between you and the other server!!

So how do i test his card ?

Well there are several options to achieve this, I list a few of them.

You can use a plugin called CCcam switch. This plugin will allow you to have up to 5 different CCcam.cfg files, so you may want to use one of this config files just to put 1 C: line and then activate this profile. In this way if the other person told you he has MTV card you can physically go to that particular package and test it to see if it clears the picture. Nabilosat CCcam Autoswitch Plugin v0.2
Advantages ---> You physically see with your own eyes that particular C:line works!
Disadvantages --->You do not see the ping time directly !!

Another option is to install a plugin on your DM called CCcam Info with this plugin you just run it on your Dreambox from the plugins menu and see what cards you are getting from that particular peer. CCcam info V1.1
Advantages ---> Easy to setup and control
Disadvantages ---> You do not see the ping time directly !!

Another option is to install CCcamInfoPHP or CSStudio, with this option you can check what cards you are getting from a particular person. You must verify what cards your are getting as Hop 1 from that person and as well to check the ping time between you and the other server, it is always a good idea to remove all peers with very slow or slow ping time results as this will slow down the whole system!! CCcamInfoPHP, CSStudio
Advantages ---> This is the best option of all as you get the most information you can get about your CCcam
Disadvantages ---> Not easy to setup the first time.
