Continuity counter error only on encrypted channels

Im running tvheadend on a pogoplug v2. I can view unencrypted channels fine but receive the following error with encrypted channels.

I know the dish is fine. Im able to view freesat HD fine with no breakup. I Know the information in the cwc section is correct, As putting that information into TVheadend on a different system works fine, and unscrambles the channel. I`ve seen a few posts about similar errors but no fix. I`ve tried updating to the latest git version and the problem still persists.

I have a similar observation. In the Status overview I can see that there are very few Transport Errors, but the number of Continuity Errors keeps going up. This happens with a reasonable quality stream: 67% signal and 77 dB SNR. Of course, this happens with a DVB-S2 mux...

Mode 2 capmt. OSCam r9767 with local cards.

Is there any debug to help spot if the continuity error occurs due to capmt service? Or my ffmpeg/libav version having issues

It would be great to have some suggestions how to diagnose these messages.
