Your CAM doesn't respond to the QUERY that VDR sends to it. So VDR can't ask the CAM whether it is able to decrypt a certain channel (in addition to others it is already decrypting). So it's a hard-/firmware restriction of your CAM.
The only CAM I have here that actually can decrypt more than one channel is the Alphacrypt with firmware revision 3.09.
Conax 4.00e is able to decrypt 2-3 channels at the same time. Although when used with VDR 1.5.0 it is not. Also when using previous versions of
If the CAM doesn't respond to a QUERY, then how is VDR supposed to know whether it can decrypt more than one channel at a time?
VDR you have to fake fixed receiver number in the channels.conf for this to be possible - if you put in B00 it doesn't work anymore :) It's sometimes a bit unrealiable but works.
VDR 1.4 used the FIRST/MORE/LAST method to send multiple CaPmts. Since some CAMs apparently don't handle this correctly, I changed that to the simpler ADD/UPDATE method, which should be supported by any CAM that can decrypt more than one channel.
Can you please check if there is a newer firmware for the Conax CAM and maybe try that?
