Hello,

 

I have a Vu+ Duo 2 receiver pointing at HotBird. I also bought 2 CIs modules to have Viaccess enabled.

However, it looks like only the lower card reader works. Either card is working fine in the lower card reader, as do the two CIs modules; however, neither CIs or card works in the upper one.

 

In “Settings”→“Common Interface” (I translate to english, so these may be called otherwise), both cards readers are shown and I can go into “Module Retail” (of either slot 1 or slot 2) and see the expected rights (e.g. if both cards are inserted, both slots tell me the right provider). But when the upper reader is involved for decrypting the channel, I just get “You don't have rights for this program”. It seems like the receiver never looks for rights on the 2nd reader.

 

Strange, isn't it? What can I do?

Two cards / modules from the same provider?

 

That doesn't work, the box can't load-balance (yet), you have to install the ci-assignment plugin, and manually devide your channels over both modules.

No, I have BIS TV and SSR/SRG.

 

Thanks for your answer.

But if they share the same CAid, it won't work nevertheless.

If I put only a card in the upper reader (the one with the problem) and none in the other one, the channels aren't decrypted either, so I don't think it's the problem.

Thanks.

Either a softcam configuration issue (incorrect device name used) or a hardware issue?

[Anic297]

With the original image, the problem is also there. How can I test for an incorrect device name used?

I'm afraid it's a hardware issue; after I returned the receiver to the shop where I bought it, they said it wasn't up to date and that it was the problem. They were apparently wrong, as it's now up to date and the problem remains. If it's a hardware issue, must I revert to the original image before re-returning the receiver to the shop or they will accept OpenPli?

 

Thanks.

[Erik Slagter]

How about first finding out what the actual issue is? Before running around and jumping to conclusions? What are the CAid's of the services on your CI'?

[Anic297]

You're right. The CAid's I've found are:

0500:042820

0500:050800

 

(the field after the colon being what my receiver says)

As usual the answer is to install from the feed the plugin Common Interface Assignment.

 

In telnet:

opkg update
opkg install enigma2-plugin-systemplugins-commoninterfaceassignment

Restart your box.

 

Go into the Settings -> Common Interface and there assign which CAID:IDENT is used in which CI slot.

 

Then it will work.

Two times Viaccess, indeed.

Thanks! It sort of works; at least, it's the first time I can use the two readers simultaneously. I say it kind of works, because when I navigate to a channel of the BIS card and then come back to the Swiss card, I can only first watch a swiss german channel (the swiss french ones aren't being decrypted). Only after I watch a swiss-german channel can I go to a swiss-french one). Does that make sense?

 

I wasn't expecting all this was needed, because I have another receiver (of brand Aston Simba HD) which has two readers working without problems with the same cards. So, there's definitively something leaker in the Vu+ Duo 2, in my opinion.

[Pr2]

You cannot compare Aston Simba which has build-in Viaccess decoding capability with an STB that use Common Interface slot, the handling is totally different.

 

About your problem of switching between french BIS.tv and SRG channels, perhaps you should do deeper in Common Interface assignment and assign also the service ID for the channels (I think it is possible) so you can help it making a faster CI slot switching decision.

Two times Viaccess, indeed.

 

Which is what I wrote in post #2.

There's a difference between 'same provider' and same 'conditional access id' but the end result will be the same

I'm new to this, so the simplest is perhaps to tell what I've done and you can tell me if it's wrong?

 

In Slot 1, my assigned CAId is “0x500” and Assigned Services/Providers is “AB Sat”.

In Slot 2, my assigned CAId is also “0x500” and assigned Services/Providers are “Schweizer Radio Und Fernsehen”, “Radio Télévision Suisse” and “Radiotelevisione svizzera”. There's also a SSR provider which I had finally removed off the list because it seemed to make troubles. I'm not sure which of the four I must have and what are their differences. Strangely, it also happens sometimes that I can see RTS1 but not RTS2, which are on the very same frequency and CAId/Providers.

 

About your answer, precisely, I'm not sure about how to assign a service ID; is that not what my “Assigned Services/Providers” field is?

Thank you.

Don't get me wrong, I read your post several times, but I think I misunderstood it.

As Tech wrote, I probably could have been clearer...
