what f/w are you using? .75 or E2? Will cccam not do the same job?

yes im now trying CCCAM plugin, to see if i get the same problem.

(i couldnt wait a whole week to see if it would crash)

fingers crossed...

it was still decrypting RAI this morning, so, so far so good....but it hasnt been running long.

i bet when i get home its locked up again.

Think positive ManikM! I got my s4000 back from Turbosat yesterday. Seems to be working well. Hope the problem will not come back! Was the same happening when you were using E2?

hi mate,

yeah im thinking positive, i will be even more positive if its still working when i get in.

i havent given E2 long enough, i really do think it was the octacam plugin causing it...BUT why arent others posting the same problem....

surely this should have been picked up in the many revisions of the OctaCam software...

we'll see.

Fingers crossed! Please report. I only use Mcas and only occasionally I have to reboot the receiver as I get the scrambled channel message. Turning the plugin off/on with the rc does not do anything...
