I have to agree with your diagnosis as I am not expert on this. It is however even more puzzling how they manage to get all those set-top boxes working with all those CAM's. I have not got yet any CAM which would not be working with more recent set-top boxes. I have one very old set-top which indeed has problems with some CAM's. So how the set-top box people do they stuff? Do they get hints from manufacturers and encryption systems owners how to deal with their quirks? Or are there still undisclosed secrets in this business? irk
