I never believed I could be so busy as I am at the moment - I *need* a holiday![USER=112434]ogir_xx[/USER]:Well that settles it then. I will add this fix to the next version, but I'm not sure when I will have a chance to release it at this point. *Thank you* again for testing - you can take a break for a while and enjoy stable TV (hopefully!) as far as I am concerned. <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite8" alt=":D" title="Big Grin    :D" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":D" />[USER=78371]paalkr[/USER]:I'm sorry but no. I'd like nothing more than to say yes but I just don't have the time to support even my current patches as I would like. I hope you can understand. My priority is to get as many of my patches finished, tested and committed as fast as I can as that is now the only way that I can start to look at other issues. <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite3" alt=":(" title="Frown    :(" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":(" /><img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite1" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":)" />[USER=117478]blindcoder[/USER]:What type of CAM are you using? I have the same/similar symptoms as you with my two CAMs. I can access the CAM menu on both of them with my Skystar HD2 however I also can't descramble any channels. I contacted Technisat support about this problem and they told me:My experience is that CAM compatibility can be very "flaky". The only tuners that I have tested that work fully with both of my CAMs are TBS tuners - both the 5980 and 6928 work very well with the patch that I created --><a href="https://forum.team-mediaportal.com/general-development-no-feature-request-here-48/tbs-ci-cam-support-other-improvements-103276/" target="_blank">here</a><--.I have a TechnoTrend Budget S2-3200 that works with one and almost seems to work with the other for a second, then the stream becomes totally corrupt (like the CAM is not capable of descrambling fast enough) except that I can't even watch FTA channels with that second CAM unless I completely remove it. TechnoTrend responded very quickly but basically were also unable to help me. They recommended the Alphacrypt Classic.I also have a Hauppauge WinTV CI. It works with the CAM that doesn't work with the TT S2-3200 and *doesn't* work with the other CAM (the one that *does* work with the S2-3200). I haven't yet reported that problem to Hauppauge.Soon I should have an Anysee tuner and I will see how it behaves.To summarise: I *completely* sympathise with you. CAMs are very frustrating at times. I'd advise you to contact TechniSat support as I have done and see what they say. I think you will find that they give a similar answer as they gave me and effectively ask you to buy a new CAM. This is not great support in my opinion but I guess from their perspective it is hard to support all CAMs as there are so many that are available. The least they could do is try to improve support but unfortunately they don't seem interested in doing that. <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite3" alt=":(" title="Frown    :(" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":(" />[USER=90147]Twinturbo[/USER]:Thank you for the feedback! <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite8" alt=":D" title="Big Grin    :D" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":D" />I hope you will find that the flicker goes away if you try the most recent version.I can only really repeat what I said to Benjamin above. The situation is that tuner compatibility with CAMs is a bit of a minefield. I had not realised that it was so bad until the last 6 months when I managed to get CAMs and tuners to test with. I tried a lot of drivers and software with my SkyStar but all to no avail. Scrambled channels remained scrambled. I have essentially given up on this problem until I can afford to buy an Alphacrypt Classic. If that CAM also doesn't work then... well I don't know what I would do but I might start to guess that there is a problem with either my tuner or CI slot hardware.Best regards to all of you!mm</blockquote>
