What I have found is tuning encrypted channels will succeed when only using 
the CA System ID 0x0624. If I use 0x0604 it fails, even though both are 
reported as acceptable by the CAM earlier in the logfile.

By putting a small if statement around the elementary stream capmt 
insertion, allowing it to only send 0x0624 system id, this now tunes 
successfully.

eg:

My question is now is that is there some standard requirement only to use 
the highest system id presented or use them in any particular order? It 
seems that the failure of the 0x0604 system id is either cam specific or 
intentional by the standard but I can't find any reference.
Any conditional access gurus able to shed any light on this?

As an aside by hacking the code up like this it allows me to tune but takes 
5-10 seconds of flickery screen to finally get a picture up. I don't know if 
this is a common multi dvb card issue or just specific to this problem.
