My System: Dreambox 7020Si receiver, PLi image loaded and Irdeto and Viaccess cards installed. Dishes for Nilesat + Hotbird with lnb's for BADR and Eurobird 9

My Irdeto card from ADD seems to carry on working in the card slot of my 7000s,
but I had trouble with the Viaccess card for BBC Prime. That stopped working after almost 3 month........ not updating correctly.

I did not find a way to cure the problem in the card slot.

However I bought a CA card for Al Jezeerah Sport +.
A strange beast, it decrypts the sport without a smartcard, just based on a firmware update.
It is a kind of universal CA accepting several different types of smart card, controlled by a menu.
I selected the Viacess option and then put in my BBC Prime card, lo and behold it updated and worked.

Might be worth checking out, based on your viewing habits. The SP CA was $60, which included a year's subscription,
as opposed to a dedicated Viaccess CA for a lot more money.

Not quite your scenario, but my give you some ideas?
