---------------------------

I have a technotrend s2-3200 with CAM for viewing scrambled channels. with MP 0.2.3.0 this was no problem. With MP 1.0.0.0 I cannot watch scrambled channels. In the TV server when trying preview I get the message:
---------------------------
Preview failed:ChannelIsScrambled (log file attached)
---------------------------
In MP when I try to watch scrambled channels I get the messager:
Start timeshifting not possible
Channel is Scrambled

I have checked my technotrend settings, CAM says yes.

This is the end of the MP log file (total is attached):

Yes, I have tried this as well. This made no difference for me.
Thanks for your reply.

Hi Theofieltje,

Can you tell me which CI module you use with your canaldigital subscription?
I have a Technotrend S2-3650-CI, and I had to buy an Aston CI to make it work !

Kind regards,

HI JTE,

I use the mediaguard CI which I bought with my CanalDigital Card. Gives no problems with my satelite receiver and MP 0.2.3.0.
No sure what to do now, I can buy an Aston CI for 106 euro, this would okay if I new this would solve my problem, otherwise this may be an expensive solution. For the same price I could try buying for example a new Skystar card + CAM, I read that most people are quite satisfied whit this.

Hi Theofiletje,

I understand your problem/situation. What I can confirm is, that my configuration with an Aston CI works, and with a Mediaguard CI not.
The stablity of the TV server in my situation is far from perfect, and the service crashes often.

Please don't expect much support from TechnoTrend, unfortunately this is not on a level you may expect from a supplier.

Good luck.

I have the same problem, under Vista 64 and also on Canal Digital but Nordic beam.

The same problen existed under RC4 but only occasionally, if you stuck with viewing TV - no problem - but if you viewed film in between the scrambled channels often became blocked when switching back to TV.:(

got it to work now.

just clicked the cam settings, set it o 1 channel to decode default cam, and al other boxes i put a mark in .

maybe usefull to say, that i found out that the technisat skystar hd is the same card, but the driver from technisat gave me a better receiption than the technotrend drivers.

after a driver install, i still installed technotrend mediacenter, because it installs the ci-module also.

hope you guys get it to work with my way of setting up my cam and card in NL
