Hi, I can't tune to channels on Transponder 12501 with Bell Expressvu. A good example is MPXHD (Channel 839). I've attached the logs.

Can anyone help with this?

I've got a patch for this problem on RC2 (SVN 19705). Code change is only to one source file: TVLibrary/Implementations/DVB/Graphs/TvDvbChannel.cs:

         if (_mdplugs != null)
         {
           DVBBaseChannel chan = _currentChannel as DVBBaseChannel;
-          if (chan != null)
+          // If the _newCA variable is still false, then the CA table receive callback has not triggered yet
+          if (chan != null && (! _newCA))
           {
             //HACK: Currently Premiere Direkt Feeds (nid=133) have the free_ca flag in SDT set to true (means not scrambled), so we have to override this
             if ((!chan.FreeToAir) || (chan.NetworkId == 133 && !chan.Provider.Equals("BetaDigital")))
             {
-              if (_newCA == false)
+              //HACK: For Bell ExpressVu, don't need to wait for CA
+              if (chan.NetworkId == 256 || chan.NetworkId == 257)
               {
+                _newCA = true; // Set _newCA to true to avoid waiting for CA table
+              }
+              else
+              {
                 Log.Log.Info("subch:{0} SendPmt:wait for ca", _subChannelId);
                 return false;//cat not received yet
               }

Patch file and modified source file attached. Can one of the devs please submit this into the next SVN?

That patch needs chan.Provider.Equal() check too in order it to be accepted as other providers can use those same network IDs.

Thanks for noting that. I'll try out your suggestion, but I believe when I already looked into it chan.Provider returned null for Nimiq 82W and 91W.
