> If this happens to me, i take out the box provided by the cable
provider, put the conax card in, and let it run until the keys on the card
are updated and the scrambled programs are visible again. Then the card is
good for another month in mythtv until the keys expire again.
I found that if i make my system powerless(reboot is not enough) - the
DVB-C and conax stuff updates itself when powering up again - so i donīt
need the cable box.
The problem i had was not exactly what you describe since a restart of
mythbackend fixed it without any key update. It might have something to do
with a slower than expected decryption so that myth starts to do what it
does before the channel is decrypted properly ... some timing issue maybe
- but am only guessing.
Itīs much better now due to some of the updates that came in with Ubuntu
or mythtv (no idea what it was exactly). I only get empty recordings like
1-3 out of 100 so itīs no big thing any more.
Would be good though to have an automatic check that if a recording goes
wrong - empty file - at least another attempt is made and the defect
recording is deleted. I usuallay start recordings 3 minutes earlier so
plenty of time for retries if something goes wrong.
