dan, doesn't make sense. if you manage to flash a valid image using dreamup then the only reason you will not be able to see anything on your tv is because your scart is either loose into tv or dreambox. it simply does not compute that you can successfully flash the box and it cannot reboot considering most of the same circuitry is used in both operations. so it simply must be faulty or loose scart. is it possible the connector got damaged when you plugged it into tv or dreambox. check all the pins to make sure none are bent.

 

9161lee, the reason you are having your current problem is because your dish is not pointed to the same satellite that is set up on your dreambox. for example if your dish is pointed at astra 19 then you will pick up a 1000 channels but if you choose astra 28 in satellites and trasnponders you get epg not available. so your problem is simple. your sat dish is pointed at the wrong satellite. correct this and all will be fine

 

fint, i think her prob. is that she can't select astra 28 as her sat. of choice. not that she wants to recieve astra 19 and is locked to astra 28. i'm having a similar problem, in that, i want to recieve fta from badr4 26 but i can't figure how to get a listing of satellites. ref post #809 and 815

 

jondalar., simple solution to that. use http://satellites-xml.eu/ to generate your satellites.xml file for the satellite you want, transfer to /var/etc and then go to satellites and trasnponders option and select that satellite

 

must learn how to spell transponders properly

 

fint, ref post #815, i have done that. the file is visible in ftp. i can open it and view transponders for astra 28 and badr4/5/6, but when i go to sat config and get drop down menu, i've only one choice..astra 28. am i in the wrong place?menu..setup..servive searching..sat congig..sat position........no choice given.

 

sorry fint, ref post #809

 

tried using 2 sets of red yell white av leads just incase 1 was faulty and tried 3 scart leads also tried another tv still no joy.. its in the bin now anyways lost the will to live with it all

 

sorry for your loss dan.. :-(

 

jondalar, do a factory reset. i know this will lose your cccam.cfg but you are well able to put that back in place. factory reset usually at least allows all sats to be shown. so lets get that right first

dan, do you have another dm500 that is behaving itself. at least then you can discount what i said. its very weird that you don't at least get the primary image page on your tv screen as this takes no processing power from your dreambox. hence the reason i wondered about scart.

 

fint, will probably have to wait till after weekend to do that as i have two friends sharing and work to do...thank god. i'll let you know as soon as i get the chance to do it.

 

Hi guys

Bit of a strange one. All channels working fine on a client but whenever a channel is changed a message pops up for 3 secs saying

Unable to descramble

The channel then displays fine.

Then an nds message appears featuring my dyndns hostname. Five seconds later, it's gone

Any idea how I can stop these messages from appearing?

 

balcee what box what image

 

yeah i have 2 other boxes that are working fine with all the leads

 

hi fin. Box is DM500 with open pli image. I'm using cccam214. The box itself works fine but i'm just concerned from a security aspect that my dns hostname flashes on the screen :-/

 

Hi lads,

Do I need to have the dreambox which I am using as my internal server connected to the sky dish if I want to share it, I dont want to use it for viewing.

 

yes you do, the server receives the keys via satellite, the server then shares the keys.

 

absolutely not true jondalar, keys are supplied from the card. there is no need whatsoever to have your server connected to a dish. indeed many users prefer to run a server off a computer with the card connected via usb (smargo).

 

balcee, no matter what you do your host name will always show on the client box. i've always said that you only share with people you know. there is simply no way to hide your address details from your clients so clients should be trusted!!!!
