Hello,

this could be only a problem with you CICAM, because neither vdr or the
driver touch anything in the stream you need for activation. Only if your
CICAM is not supported by vdr the card could not be activated.

If your provider is PREMIERE, and you use an older Irdeto 4.6/4.7/4.8 SE or
an Alphacrypt CI with firmware < 2.02, then you must update your CICAM.
