Since about two months, my TV server suddenly has problems tuning/descrambling the Austrian channels (ORF1, ORF2, ATV+, ...). It usually works for 2 weeks or so and then I get this error[code]...

...[/code]until I restart the TV service (or the whole server). I have attached 3 logs where this error occurs. log2 and log3 are from today from the same time frame, but for the test for log3 I deleted all other log files first for convenience.

Note: ORF 1 worked today, I recorded the Grand Prix on it. But now it suddenly doesn't again. Someone in an older thread about this problem said, that this happens, when the card expires. I don't think the ORF card can expire, but I will check. However, why would the card still work randomly, if expired? Though the fact that this happens all of a sudden with no changes to the system does point to the CAM or the card itself.
