Hi

I have a 2100 with the latest firmware (205p).
I have an official viaccess card on internal card reader (CA).
Card opens "educational" channels :embaressed_smile:

When I first put the card in after flashing new firmware, everything works.
Next time when I'm switching the receiver on, nothing happens and there is no CA in the menu list anymore. Only thing to do is to flash the firmware again.
This happened with 203 and 204 too.

There must be somekind of conflict or a serious bug in software.

I've tried to reset the receiver to bring the card reader back alive, but no luck.

What's wrong and how am I able to use official card with my CT ?

Thanks in advance

I dusted my old MR Cam and switched off the CT's multicam.
The card works with MR (v1.220), but it is slower than internal cam when working.

I'd rather use the internal.

If anyone have anykind of experience about my kind of a situation, the info would be very much appreciated.

Happy holidays !

Problem solved:

I noticed the reflashing didn't fix the prob anymore. Therefore it must be something else.
I opened the stb and checked the card reader's cabels, swithed on and...CA back !

Most likely my problem was loose connection.

I think I'm now the 'official card-internal cam-card reader'-specialist of this forum.
