Sorry, i have been little clear....I reply to mail on encrypted channel but my 
problem isn't it.....(i haven't encrypted channel in DB)
Like saying before, dvb support (thank's Kenneth) work great but this problem 
in frontend cause the low usability....
This freeze not only happens for encrypted channels but  also in many other 
cases (ex. no or bad signal, bad parameter and other)....
 By satellite bad signal is often a problem (ex. bad meteo condition) and 
often any channel change your parameters but the truly great problem for 
italian user ( i think Enrico report to it)  is that major television 
broadcast (mediaset and rai), that usaly transmit in clear,often encrypt your 
signal for  transmissions which haven't rights for the foreign country.
We don't remove this channel from DB (rai is state television....)

Probably, for the reasons it explains over, this is, for Italian users, a 
great problem..

however thanks for the clarifications
