NDS freezes with local

Hi guys,

I'm having some troube with my local sky uk card which is really driving me nutch. Each hour I get a couple of short freezes. My ecm time is very low, between: 110ms - 200ms. My sky card is placed within a smargo reader which is running at 6mhz. In my cccam.cfg i've also set the 6mhz frequency.

I've already tried newcs is a alternative but although it also gives me low ecm times, between: 150ms -250ms i'm still getting the freezes.

I've already turned my emm updates off.

Can someone please give me hint or clue cause i'm really getting nuts about this.

Thanks so much in advance!

Hi

I also have these intermittent freezes.
I have a local (LAN) Linux server running Newcs 1.50. for Sky NDS

Once or twice in an hour I get a small pixelation (freeze for 1 second).
I am using evocamd as emulator.

The ECM times are low (100ms-150ms) but when the freeze appeares the ECM time jumps to 600ms-700ms.

Because it is a local Lan, I rule out network problems.

I am using a cheap Phoenix card reader on the linux box, and I think that it is the cardreader that is the bottleneck. Card Reader is set to 3.57Mhz, The reader cannot go higher.

Is a better card-reader a solution? And is 4 Mhz a good overclock speed?

thanks
