CI conax module + valid card not working

[rte]

Now I installed oscam.r8625. It starts but doesn't show my encrypted cable-TV channels whichever of the two cardslots I use with cardchip up or down. What else should I do?

What else should I do?

Start a separate support request; now nobody looks into this thread as it is about a CAM.

Hi!

I had same problem with the 9xxx oscams, they do not start at all. The 8625 is ok, but you need following oscam files in /etc/tuxbox/config/

oscam.conf:

#oscam.conf

[dvbapi]
enabled = 1
boxtype = dreambox
user = dvbapiau
au = 1
request_mode = 1

[webif]
httpport = 16002
httpuser = x
httppwd = x
httprefresh = 20
httpallowed = 127.0.0.1,192.168.0.1-192.168.255.255,10.0.0.1-10.255.255.255

oscam.dvbapi:

P: 0B00 1
P: 0B02 1

oscam.server

#oscam.server

Check also that the card has the chip downwards in the slot.

This really works but not on encrypted HD-channels. Quite a success, anyway, thank you for the advice.

[kvarnstj]

Might be that your HD-channels requires CI+ module with card+module pairing. CI+ is not supported on Ultimo, or on any Enigma2 in general.
That is the case with my cable operator at least. So I am not able to watch encrypted HD either, do to the CI+, no workaround for that.

That is exactly what I suspected. Thank you for your confirmation. The operators insult their customers by limiting their legal rights to choose the eguipment.

CI+ is famous for only one thing: limiting customers. Google for details.

But customers buy it and hence accept it. The only way out is a customer strike.

There is pairing CiV1-Modules also. I have one made by Dilog that works well with my Duo2 + Vix Zeus. Not all cable providers have CiV1 pairing modules.
Alas my module can only decrypt 1 chan. So if there is 2 or more recordings same time on encrypted channels only 1st recording is good and others will fail. This leads to my only disapointment for my DUO2: No working post record decrypt/decode.
Now I mostly use oscam but when I want to watch encrypted HD chan (sports mostly) I insert Dilog-module.

As far as I know only Xtrend's support that.

I know I'm bumping an old thread, but I stumbled upon this forum and found this thread to be a very interesting read.

Customer strike might indeed be good, but once the CI+ CAMs are provided by the broadcaster, isn't it just a matter of time before their support is added to the softcams? This is in a way already a customer strike against the hardware pairing. Please correct me if I'm wrong.

Disclaimer: I'm not looking for any illegal activities. Just the convenience of taking out a smart card out of the box and reinserting it in a different receiver when visiting my second home. Hope that is not too much to ask for!

I think I should correct myself for people stumbling upon this post in the future. My understanding has improved since I posted this.

1. Softcams emulate the functionality of CI CAMs. The CI+ standard was introduced to restrict what customer can do with the received signal. This standard mandates the use of CI+ CAMs with the certified receivers only. There are ways to make it work with a non-certified enigma2 receivers, but they are not supported by OpenViX image.

2. Hardware pairing means pairing of the smart card with the decryption hardware (receiver or the CI+ CAM). This is different from forcing the use of CI+ CAMs in general by the service providers.

Some time ago I noticed to my big suprise that my CI+Cam with valid cable-TV card works perfectly, all the subscribed HD-channels included, in the upper cam-slot of my Vu+Ultimo4k receiver.
It may be an exception but I can't offer any better explanation.

I have an Ultimo, not 4K, and I have noticed one thing: when I insert the card from the cable operator to a CI+ module and the module to my HDTV and get them paired, then move the module with the card to the Ultimo, it WORKS and shows the encrypted HD channels I have authorized. But it encrypts only one of them at time, so I can't record multiple channels at the same time when using the CI+ module.
And every now and then the encrypted channels disappear until I insert the card with the module to the TV for a while again.
I suspect this behavior may depend on the service provider.
