[QUOTE="mm1352000, post: 1048081, member: 82144"] From what I know or guess about how the DD drivers work... When we ask the tuner to try to decrypt a channel, it tries each CAM/CI slot in sequence until it finds one that claims that it can decrypt the channel. After that it stops. You can see the relevant code here: [url]https://github.com/MediaPortal/MediaPortal-1/blob/Digital_Devices/TvEngine3/TVLibrary/TVLibrary/Implementations/DVB/ConditionalAccess/DigitalDevices/DigitalDevices.cs#L439[/url] As the comment (from me) says: My guess is that the first CI filter is the Maxcam when your order is {Alphacrypt, Maxcam}. Therefore the Maxcam receives the decrypt request first. If it says that it can decrypt the channel then I guess the Alphacrypt is not tried. When you switch the CAM order the Alphacrypt is tried first and it really can decrypt ORF. Also, the Alphacrypt must not claim that it can decrypt Sky channels so that the DD driver tries the Maxcam for those channels. In that way everything can work. For some CAMs I know it is possible to edit the list of CA systems that the CAM supports. I can do this with my Orion X-CAM premium. If you were able to do that with the Maxcam then maybe you could configure it so that it doesn't say that it can decrypt ORF. Please keep in mind that a lot of these comments are "educated guesses". I have never seen the DD driver code and never had a situation myself where I could try such a test. It is already released as "alpha" with MP2. An MP1 release is planned at some point, but no fixed schedule. It will be released when it is ready. [/QUOTE]
