[QUOTE="2old4this, post: 8107, member: 174998"] The FreeCAM firmware (be it FreeCAM or FreeCAM2 of whatever version) incorporates Irdeto/betacrypt keys that are used to decrypt certain channels. That is why no card is needed fo the channels covered by those keys. But they are only plainkeys, and the FreeCAM firmware does not include any auto-update functionality. So whenever the provider changes plainkeys, you will lose the picture until you enter the new keys (a menu option with such a CAM). Nova changes plainkeys typically several times a day... so if you had a picture before and since programming the CAM no more then it due to the fact that Nova had changed keys in the meantime. Another possibility is that Nova had not changed keys in that interval but the keys in the firmware were not up to date. Then you should simply add the new key using the menu options ("enter plainkey" - there ARE posts here describing how to do that. I know. I wrote them myself...) Having said all of the above, there is one more important point: Nova and MSCA recently moved to Irdeto ACS v2.1 ("Irdeto2"). This is a new version of Irdeto, and the FreeCAM emulator is for the old version. So you will NEVER get a picture on those encrypted channels using the emulator. You may get a picture using an official Irdeto2 subscriber card (switch EMU OFF) but I've never tested that. 2old [/QUOTE]
