Hey All,
I have a twinhan 1034 (using Mantis chipset I think)
I always get the problem where the scrambled channels arent working.
Originally I thought it was a CAM issues - using Irdeto 2.21 (The purple One) so got a new one and that seemed to work for a while but now it is not working.. I then thought it was a smartcard issue as the chip ioon it was fairly scratched and already had indents on it from the STB box supplied by provider and I thought maybe the pin readers on the CAM were aligned differently so couldnt read the card properly so I got abrand new card from provider and that seemed to work ok for an hour or so.
Now I'm back to it not working again. I found most of the time to get it work I had to stuff extra plastic inside the CAM to push the card onto the pins to read it properly and this seemed to make it work all the time but now doing this isnt happening.
I've ordered a matrix Reborn CAM to try but Im wondering if maybe the problem is with the card itself not reading the CAM being inserted at all? I know its not a media portal problem as another program doesnt detect CAM but Ive been pulling hair out trying to figure out why it wont work.
I thought since the thing would work now and then that maybe the card is ok. Im using it under Vista Ultimate 32 with 1.0.5.9 drivers.
Can anyone suggest ways to look at the actual hardware itself and try and figure out if the CAM isnt being detected properly?
Anyone else experienced similar issues? Thanks
