A NEWBIES GUIDE TO SETTING UP A DM500S FOR CARDSHARING

not sure i agree totally. consider the fact that sky on demand is a streaming solution and also depends on bandwidth/speed. i have an xbox setup in a friends house with access to all the sky channels and a mad amount of films from sky based on my subscription and i go over be times and its perfect with his broadband bundle. so do remember that sky depend on quality broadband for their services, hence streaming quality will only get better as operators need it to supply their services.

 

Hmmmmm,,I never thought of it that way..

I have broadband that gets between 3MB and 6MB. So it's not the best.

Is it easy to stream using a PS3? I messed around a bit with it before,,but I could never get it working properly.

 

well for a ps3 to stream properly all you have to do is visit the ps3 part of the afterdawn forum and read a few stickies. its not rocket science

 

the vu+ has iptv capability ,it works via internet and yes its dependent on a good internet speed (certainly for hd ) but that seems to be the next generation .but who knows (never say die )who knows what people can come up with satellite wise .also and i know its not an option open to all but if your motorised with a line and even free to air you can pick up a wealth of viewing , many sporting events that sky charge for are free on other sats (all be it maybe with a foreign language )or viewable with a multisat line .

but at this point atleast for now it doesnt sem as tho irish cards will be affected so for a while atleast (i dont know how long ) we will be ok . so if you have a line from a server that supplies rte and setanta then you should be ok for a bit .

 

Fantastic..

Thanks again for all your help.

 

rebooted the router and the 2 dm500s. still no lights on router or boxes. changed network cables. no difference. dhcp and network are both enabled. Me thinking i got 2 new faulty boxes

 

anto it would be extremely unusuall for a person to recieve two faulty dm500s boxes .can you bring one box to a mate or family members house and see if their router sees the box .

 

I think we'll see an end to sharing for HD only by the summer & sd by 2014 sometime.....

Two of my friends entitlements are up in the 25th of May.... if these change I will notify this thread.

All things come to an end...... but other doors will open.

 

friend bought 5 dm500s for tvs around his premises. out of the box 2 of them did not light up the network connection. after 1 month another box died with network connection failure. seems the dm500s coming out of china are degrading in quality. worst is that there is absolutely nothing you can do about it. dhcp enabled or disabled is not important. what i would suggest is using proven cables from router to dm500. if no network light is visible then curtains. noticed in recent purchases that network light is blue as compared to older purchases which were orange (obviously different manufacturers). The blue light one is far less dependable than the orange light one. In this case I do believe that the two boxes are shagged. The cost o returning them to china over buying a new box makes the effort not worth it sadly

 

it seems this may be a mute point, as all my entitlements go to may 28, but can anyone tell me if, using a vu+ cccam_2.2.1, i can simply put a second card in tne bottom slot with just the correct boxkey line in cccam to share the load of the clients?

 

use LOADBALANCE in CCCAM script to achieve this

 

thanks fint, i'll check that out asap.

 

Made in china rings a bell.

 

What??

 

agreed ???????

 

nice cuppa tea???
