[QUOTE="mm1352000, post: 1100129, member: 82144"] Hello again Nick I don't find it strange. You say that the hardware and software have been working fine and I don't see anything wrong with them. It looks like the CAM simply can't decrypt because the smartcard activation/entitlements have lapsed. That happens when the card/CAM is not used for an extended period of time.
