Under normal circumstances, an authorized card will produce a very short CAM log file that
looks like the image shown in Figure 28
below.
If, however, there are issues with the card’s authorization, you will see messages that look more
like this:
0 0 0: CARD_INSERTED
1 9 727: 727 - Program Not Available in Your Area (Service Blacked
Out) [GMT=Thu May 12 00:00:00 2011]
2 0 0: Can't view [GMT=Thu May 12 00:00:00 2011]
3 0 0: Blackout [GMT=Thu May 12 00:00:00 2011]
4 9 727: 727 - Program Not Available in Your Area (Service Blacked
Out) [GMT=Thu May 12 00:00:00 2011]
5 0 0: Can't view [GMT=Thu May 12 00:00:00 2011]
6 0 0: Blackout [GMT=Thu May 12 00:00:00 2011]
7 9 727: 727 - Program Not Available in Your Area (Service Blacked
Out) [GMT=Thu May 12 00:00:00 2011]
The 3-digit values starting with a “7” are the DIRECTV support extension numbers associated
with the error condition.
Other things that you may see reported here include messages about access card not being active,
wrong or missing RID number, card not paired, and programming information for audio-only
channels. Many commercial TVs won’t play audio-only channels.
There are a few fields as described below:
Refresh
- Refreshes this display.
Clear_CAM_Log
- Clears all current entries in that card’s CAM log.
