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

Code:

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

Code:
WeTek:~ # journalctl --no-pager | grep "CAM error"

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.
