if not, click the update button and it will apply the update.

I recently setup my orange Fox card in a smargo card reader with oscam as a card server. I've got acamd as the client running on windows (under TVSource/7MC) with a TBS DVB-S2 Dual tuner. All working ok, just trying to get better channel change times, and the occasional 'service is scrambled' message. Currently around 3-4 second channel change times and i think i can do better.
I've got the Smargo installed in windows, pass through as a com port to my VirtualBox Ubuntu Server, which is where oscam is running addressing it as a phoenix (com port). Changing the mhz doesn't seem to have much impact. I'm getting around 330ms ECM response times.
I did try passing the USB device through, and using the smartreader protocol with oscam, but this gave me around 600-700ms ECM times..
Any advice appreciated.
PS, reason i'm using OSCam is i believe its the only one that will update the card with EMM updates, am i wrong?
