Topfield TF5510/Dragon cam annoyance

[John T]

I use the Dragon cam with a Sky card to recieve the "free" channels. All is fine except every week or 2 the Topfield says there is no card inserted. I have to remove and re-insert the card (not the cam) an indeterminate number of times to get the Topfield to recognise it. Anyone else experienced this? Is it most likely to be the Topfield, the Card or the Dragon cam? Thanks

I've had that happen, not only with the Sky card, too - I always assumed it to be mucky contacts.

Thanks Dogmatix, that makes me think it may be the Topfield. It is most unusual for contact to fail once working if not disturbed.

My Topfield 4000PVR also has intermittent problems with the Dragon. I find changing the channel up and down usually solves it. I have my Dragon in the second CI slot, when it was in the first slot I got more conflicts with the Aston CAM.
