The latest updates of the DVB-HD module should be performed with caution and only if necessary.

I'm using several DVB-HD modules with BV 7-40 (MKIV) and BV 6-26 with MEDIAGUARD ASTONCRYPT PCMCIA smartcards and the cable operator's card. Everything worked fine until I did several updates of the modules (now 0.1.7.1.0), which resulted in the smartcard not being recognized anymore. This is surprising since the ASTONCRYPT smartcard is recommended by B&O for this purpose.

In short, all my DVB-HD modules are now useless with this smartcard, the only one which is compatible with my cable operator (except the POWER CAM PRO, but it is no longer sold).
