Recalling again, after many trials:

I have been running two legal cards with CI Cams (not+), Swedish Boxer on terrestrial, Swedish Canal Digital on satellite.

On VU+ Ultimo and Dreamboxes (and other hardware) that has worked for over ten years without problems.

I bought a VU+ Duo4kSE ty replace my VU+ Ultimo. Swedish Boxer (T2), works fine with CI Cam (not+) as before.

Swedish Canal Digital works fine on S channels, but on S2 channels I get distorted sound and picture, but enough to recognize the channels.

I previously thought that this had something to do with the release, that older releases (older enigma/python) worked, but not new ones. 

After trying various software, OpenPLI, OpenVix, OpenBh, OpenDroid, PurE2, Egami, I find that:

All releases work on S channels, but not S2 - if bitrate set to normal in CAM menu. High bitrate seems to be default, that is why I did not discover this before.  

So, my problem has nothing to do with changes in releases. It seems to be in the Duo4kSE. What?

Have tried old OpenBH(4.4), and VTi  (not old). They don't work at all.

The bitrate might explain why the S2 channels don't work on openATV 6.x. Is there a way to fix this, obviously it is not a hardware problem? Driver?

I now got a CI+ cam. It is reconized by the receiver, and I get a message that it is not paired, wait 2 hours. Even if I wait 24h, nothing happens.

According to Canal Digital, only approved receivers can be used. What happens in pairing, is something written to the card?

Saw something on the net about a ciplushelper. What is it, where, how is it used.  

 Thanx for all help!

Recalling a bit:

I bought a VU+ Duo4kSE ty replace my VU+ Ultimo.

I have been running two legal cards with CI Cams (not+) on various hardware for over ten years without problems.

Swedish Boxer (T2), has given no problems, works fine with CI Cam (not+) on VU+ Duo4kSE.

Swedish Canal Digital (Conax) does not work with either CI or CI+. Tried both.

One thing is sure: it is not the hardware. 

After trying various software, OpenPLI, OpenVix, OpenBh, OpenDroid, PurE2, I finally got something working on OpenATV.

But not the latest release (7.3), instead after a tip somewhere, an older release: 6.2 from 2020.

I now get the S transponder channels to work. On S2 channels I get distorted sound and picture, but enough to recognize the channels.

Some questions:

1. Why S channels and not S2 Channels?

2. What differences could there be between release 6.2 and 7.3, is there a similar change in OpenPLI?

3. Is there a "graveyard" somewhere for old OpenPLI releases, I would like to try old versions? 

I tried VU+ own software. It half decoded CONAX, pictures were partly scrambled, partly clear. Weird.

I have then installed OpenBH. I turned on logging, and looked at the logs, but what should I look for?  

I have a very old (2004) CAM, no CI+ only CI.

I don´t think getting a CI+ CAM would help.

The difference between the DUO4K and the Ultimo seems to be the FBC tuners.

Is there a way to turn off the FBC on the tuners?
