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

No errors in log files.

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 8 for each card.
Also the settings on the alphacrypt cams are set to multi.

I have this problem for a long time now, has anyone any idea what can be wrong?

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

Works ok here (and for lot of other people too). Please post all logs around the time when the issue happens.

Hi I attached the logs, I watched SBS6 and then started a recording on RTL5 when the recording started live TV stopped and the TV server reported for SBS6 scrambled= Yes.

EDIT**DOH-- "The decryptlimit is set to 8 for each card." Should have read the hole post... sry

I had the same problem .. the cause is most likely the Alphacrypt cams..
I had firmware 3.08 .. now updated to 3.14 and that problem vanished

Thanks for the tip I will test that and let you know if that fixes the problem.

I've updated the cam's to alphacrypt version 3.14 didn't fix it for me, any other ideas?
