Decrypt BISS

BISS is a basic conditional access system with a static key to protect content from unauthorized access.

To decrypt a scrambled channel, you need to append the biss option with the appropriate key to the input address. For example:

dvb://a001#pnr=1&biss=12345600789ABC00

When using an invalid BISS key, the decrypted stream will be corrupted. In this case, the Astra analyzer will display a PES Error.

To retransmit a scrambled channel without decrypting it, you can use the cas option in the Input Address. Example of an Input Address with the cas option:

dvb://a001#pnr=1&cas

This method allows you to pass the scrambled channel to the output, preserving all the necessary data required for descramblers to decode the content.
