What do those "VNSI: CAM error, try reset" messages in my log mean? - jucaroba - 2016-09-11

I have this excerpt of text in my syslog, repeatedly:

Code:
Sep 11 14:00:13 WeTek vdr[2487]: [2583] VNSI: CAM error, try reset
Sep 11 14:00:13 WeTek vdr[2487]: [2583] VNSI: close video input ...
Sep 11 14:00:13 WeTek vdr[2487]: [2583] VNSI: activate live receiver: 0, pmt change: 0
Sep 11 14:00:13 WeTek vdr[2487]: [2583] DVBAPI: 1.0 set CAM decrypt (SID 30007 (0x7537), caLm 5, HasCaDescriptors 0)
Sep 11 14:00:13 WeTek vdr[2487]: [2583] CAM 2: unassigned

Sep 11 14:00:13 WeTek vdr[2487]: [15793] device 2 TS buffer thread started (pid=2487, tid=15793, prio=high)

Every time I see the text, I see how my TV channel stutters:

Code:
WeTek:~ # journalctl --no-pager | grep "CAM error"
Sep 11 12:20:19 WeTek vdr[2487]: [2583] VNSI: CAM error, try reset
Sep 11 12:37:04 WeTek vdr[2487]: [2583] VNSI: CAM error, try reset
Sep 11 12:41:33 WeTek vdr[2487]: [2583] VNSI: CAM error, try reset
Sep 11 12:45:05 WeTek vdr[2487]: [2583] VNSI: CAM error, try reset
Sep 11 12:50:19 WeTek vdr[2487]: [2583] VNSI: CAM error, try reset
Sep 11 13:42:19 WeTek vdr[2487]: [2583] VNSI: CAM error, try reset
Sep 11 13:50:07 WeTek vdr[2487]: [2583] VNSI: CAM error, try reset
Sep 11 13:52:35 WeTek vdr[2487]: [2583] VNSI: CAM error, try reset
Sep 11 14:00:13 WeTek vdr[2487]: [2583] VNSI: CAM error, try reset

Can someone tell me what does it mean?

Thanks.

the message indicats that after the the cam started with decryption, vnsi receives an encryptd packet.
your are obviously using a softcam. note that discusions about sofcams are not allowed in this forum.

Yes, I'm using a softcam. If the discussions about it are not allowed, I will not ask here, then.

Thanks.
