The problem I have with this build and many previous builds is that I can't watch 1 channel and record the other on the same transponder, or live tv stops (no picture and sound but still timeshifting) or the recording stops (no picture & sound but still recording).
I checked the TVserver / manual control and noticed that for the problem channel it displays channel scrambled =yes

Logs attached.

I use a Twinhan DVB-C CI card (2031) driver version 1.2.3.8 and Twinhan Mantis (2033) DVB-C CI, they both act the same.
OS = Vista Home Premium
The decryptlimit is set to 13 for each card.
The settings on the alphacrypt cams are set to multi.
Alphacrypt version for both cams = 3.14

I have this problem for a long time now so please assist

With DVBViewer it works fine I can record 6 streams on the same transponder without any problem.

Hi,
Well according to log you have reached "2008-05-13 20:05:39.535377 [5]: Controller: card:1 type

vbC is tuned to same transponder decrypting 1/1 channels. cam limit reached" so you should change that in TV Server Configuration -> TV Servers -> Your Server -> Your card & Edit Cam limit.

Regards
Roy

Hi Roy,

I changed the cam limit to 13 and created new logs, but it didn't change anything still the same problem.

Regards,

Niels

Any update on this issue?

Do you have your card set up as a hybrid? If so, remove it from the hybrid and try again. Hybrids don't like multiple stream recording i've found.
