Problem with decrypting dvb-s channels

I have tried several players. MythTV, MPlayer, Kaffeine. All of them shows unencrypted channels OK, but will not play any of the encrypted channels.
This was working fine a couple of months back with the same HW.
"A couple of months" triggers me: for as far as I am aware dvb decoder cards need regular 'entitlement messages' to continue to work. And when the card is not in an active system for a long time it misses those messages and gets shut out. You need to ask the card issuer to re-activate the card (usually they offer this option on a website) and have the dvb-s card, cam and dish all powered up and tuned to a transponder controlled by the card-issuer. Usually they advise you to tune to a certain channel.

I forgot to mentioned, the card has been active in a regular receiver when not used in the PC. If I put the card back in the receiver, the channels are decrypted successfully.
