I currently use a DM7000 with a CI module and my active MCA smartcard works with no problems at all.
What I am trying to do is use the internal slots of the DM7000 to read the card and allow autoroll updates automatically... THAT is the million dollar bug/issue/problem that I need to solve....
Any suggestions?? |
Hello adamrick,
I am not sure from your post if your receiver is able to read the card or not.
But I needed the receiver to read a different Seca card and it turned out that one needs to shutdown the box, insert the card with the chip facing down, switch on and it worked for me.
No idea about the autoroll, but if the CI CAM can do, then I see no reason why the card readers won't.
