    I see no value in getting an expensive lead unless as already said it is a long lead as with a digital signal it either works or not. I have picked up dirt cheap leads from ASDA and they work just the same as the overpriced leads that help the salesmen in electrical shops get brownie points and extra pocket money!

    2 things that can cause this problem. Firstly, you might have a tuner issue rather than cam issue. Have you tried disabling one tuner/feed and try watching the other and vice versa? Secondly, where are you getting your service from? Can you record a pay channel and watch a free channel and vice versa? It could be the case that wherever you are getting your service from is placing restrictions on usage. If you are recording one pay channel and trying to watch another, this is twice as many requests. Oscam has a faciliy where too many requests leads to fake CW being sent thus causing the freeze.

    Might well be that the peer's card is clearing quicker than your local card. If your peers are using cache and you have a fast internet connection then it isn't uncommon. You could add to your peer's cline to block sly altogether from them so it will always use your local - for example


    do something like this (from memory!)


    Code
    C: peerdns.com port user pass no { 0:0:1, 0963:0 }

    The fact that the card is stopping and then starting again suggests that it is still working ok and it is probably something else going on. If you have a look at your logs it might tell you what is going on. If you post them here it might help.


    edit - posting multiple threads on the same issue won't help:rant:

    If you have one tuner, and you are trying to access a channel with XBMC that is not on the same transponder, as far as I am aware it would change the channel, so if it was being viewed via HDMI on the TV, the channel would change to the one selected on the XBMC.

    try updating your channel lists - depending on the client do a scan, download a list or use autobouquets. As I said if you are using CCcam protocol rather than newcamd to connect you might find as I have it works better, then try. You need to leave the client on a channel so it can get the entitlements - I am not sure of the best channel or if it matters but I used to use sly 1

    the hex lengths are included in your list so agree should not be a problem but agree as well that they are not worth using imo. Your Oscam settings should update uptitlements but I have always found a CCcam protocol connection to the client works better than Nline for getting them.

    try rescanning your channels - the srvid that is not clearing is not the current BT Sports srvid from what I just found
    C5E4 is BT Sports 1 HD
    C5E9 is BT Sports 2 HD
    C4BD is BT Sports 1 SD
    C4C7 is BT Sports 2 SD


    the one you are showing is C5E5

    You need to get the entitlements - if you put the card in the original box it might get paired to the box so not a good idea as then it will not work outside the box. Have you managed to get entitlement updates before on your current setup?

    Not too sure if I fully understand what you mean, but the file is a container format and this contains all of the raw info that is received as in the broadcast, and will contain all the streams, and all the other info such as data (subtitles) etc. There are various programs you can use to remove the stuff you don't want - been a while since I have done this but there is virtualdub

    Code

    which is a bit hefty to get your head around.


    Most go with how it comes as hard drive space isn't a problem for most anymore and it is usually simple to choose the stream you want in any media player app.
