We are going to have to put in a great performance in all aspects because we are up against a very strong team. We cannot think that doing just one thing well will be enough to win the game. We will have to defend well, press well, be good with the ball, come out well from behind and be direct… it will have to be a complete performance».
Without a doubt, if you like to watch football, the LaLiga match between Real Madrid and Barça it will be tall. The problem is that, if you want to enjoy this game through CCCAM, the user experience will surely be terrible since you will suffer constant connection cuts.
You will not be able to see Real Madrid- Barcelona by CCCAM
For a few months, when trying to watch football on pirated CCCAM, the cuts are constant. In addition, this problem mainly happens just when a game starts, since the signal does not usually suffer from these cuts throughout the day.
The first rumors pointed to a DDOS attack, but this idea has been discarded. Movistar has been fighting for a long time to prevent illegal services from allowing illegally protected content to be viewed, and it seems to have found the key to prevent Real Madrid – Barcelona and other matches from being seen for free.
These outages affect CCCAM or Client Card Conditional Module services, since pirate IPTV servers can be blocked by DDOS attacks. But, how has Movistar managed to deal this heavy blow to piracy?
How CCCAMs work
A CCCAM system What it does is create a protocol that decodes the satellite signals that platforms like Movistar send to their clients’ decoders. To do this, a user connects his decoder to the computer to distribute the necessary keys in real time to all users.
The service was very profitable since you only needed a decoder with the card to decipher the keys and connect to the satellite dish of your neighborhood community or purchase your own. And considering that on Aliexpress you could find CCCAM services from 10 euros, the rise of this way of watching football without paying intellectual rights became common.

Pero Movistar has managed to stop this illicit activity. And the secret, according to several industry experts, is in ECM. In case you didn’t know, Movistar Plus+ or any other satellite service sends an ECM key every 10 or 15 seconds that must be decrypted to broadcast the signal. And what the pirate CCCAMs did was distribute this decrypted key to their clients.
Now, expert sources indicate that Movistar has found a way to override this system. When a game starts the number of users who connect to watch Real Madrid vs Barça increases exponentially. And what it does is reprogram the CAS so that it doesn’t affect the original decoders. But CCCAM services receive what is called a “ghost ECM” or empty key that makes it impossible to decipher the match signal.
Definitelya hard blow to piracy and a victory for Movistarwhich has made it clear that it is not going to give up on its goal of protecting the intellectual property of these services so that illegal alternatives continue to be used to watch matches like Real Madrid Barcelona for free.
