Hi! I need some help to find out if it's even possible to continually watch 2 different encrypted channels with my current setup, which is right below.
Formuler F3 with Smit CI+ 1.3 CAM-1670 and Viaccess 060A00 card.
I can watch and stream and/or record one encrypted channel as long as I want - no problem.
But then I tried to stream one encrypted channel while watching another: the 1st channel worked less than an hour before image froze on a screen, while the 2nd continued to stream without any problems.
Later tried some different orders: 1st stream 2nd zap, or zap to FTA and stream 2 encrypted, but problem remained - 1st channel to be descrambled will die in less than an hour.
Also tried to zap to 1st encrypted channel, then stream 2nd and 3rd - this time 1st channel died right when 3rd was started, and 2nd died as always in less than an hour, leaving only 3rd streaming all alone.
Searched all available settings, tried to change some most interesting - didn't help.
I tried OpenPLI and OpenATV as well, still nothing changes.
Finally while trying one more time to see any useful settings - found suspicious string in CI+ Info: Content Key Lifetime: 3600s
Experimentally I confirmed my guess that it's exactly CI+ tricks - the longest time I can watch two channels is right 1 hour, then descrambling of the 1st channel stops.
Can anybody tell if there is a way to make CI+ continue descrambling 1st channel after an hour without stopping?
Because it's strange that it's possible to do it at least an hour, if "those" guys didn't want me to watch 2 channels they would just do the same trick that happens when I try to watch 3 channels - the 1st one insta dies.
Or maybe someone will confirm that there is nothing that can be done in this case and one channel is all I have.
Any thoughts will be much appreciated.
P.S. Here is what official CI Plus Specification docs says about that suspicious line.

Can't tell if this text is enough answer for me, I'm still hoping that someone has a more rousing one.

Content Key Lifetime
The maximum key lifetime parameter is controlled by the CA system, which is out of scope of this specification. The countdown from this value is maintained by the CICAM which triggers the CCK refresh process.
The countdown proceeds ONLY whilst the CICAM is scrambling content. This ensures that the Content Key is not
recalculated when it is not being used.
