Might help someone

 

Nice one but that's only looking for 8, or 17 on the newer version

 

Sorry Gary, I'm sharing conax so I'm lucky in that sense I don't have to go down this route.

Best of luck with it though

 

Gary,
Mancred is right. Use link

As part of this program it will supply your boxkey

 

I'm using that program but it's looking for either 9 or 11 chars or 11?? Am I right reading this serial off the dm500??

 

Why are you reading a serial number. Its your card nummber whcih is then translated?

 

Oh right so I just read the nine digits off the sky card??

It works for the basic sky channels but not the movies?? Any ideas??

 

Ok, after being banned for a few days on my viewpoint on card servers I will express a more limited viewpoint. All of you are welcome to pursue such actions. Can I say, as simply as possible, if you subscribe you will do so with your credit card. It is an illegal activity and your credit card is tagged to this, as are you the owner of the credit card. Your choice. I'm going to try and and not express my opinion, BUT ARE YOU MAD. You are giving your personal details to criminals. Sorry, can't contain myself on this viewpoint.

 

answer is to use virtual credit card, but as i have stated before - advise anyone to stay away from pay servers, they will catch/con you in some form or another!

 

Oh I'm not going near card servers. I don't really believe in that, I'm just trying to get decent channels around the house without subscribing for multiroom * 8

So I have the card sharing with the other box, but the server box isn't working for the movie channels and sports channels even though it does in the regular box??

 

gary there is a sticker at the back of the sky box which should have a 17 digit serial number you can enter that in to the converter,or press services,then 4 system setup,then 5 system details.there you will see serial number you can also use that in the converter, you can use one or both but the boxkey should be the same. then enter it in to cccam.

 

Savage, got it working all right, thanks for that. Got it from the menu. Managed to crash one of the boxes so I'm guessing I'll have to flash it tomorrow. But at least I got all the chanels and I got a share working. Now I just have to combine them tomorrow

 

Hi, yeah you guessed it.
Its a inter house network. The reason for Myth is that I already had a HTPC setup and plugged in a dvbs card.
CCCcam is running on the server. and on mythtv i'm using the nline of the newcs. for the other dm500 client it's running cccam also with the nline. i read on the eurosharing site that using the n line is easier.
cccam running on the server do itself can decode the local channels.

I come from a dvbc era of Mediaportal and arnet but this so far has been great learning. but the freezing is killing my enjoyment.

is anyone else getting freezin over the interweb.?

 

can i suggest that the easiest solution is to use cccam as server and client and drop newcs. nor is it necesary for using mgcamd for entitlements. cccam can now do all aspects

 

hi guys i was having trouble with my router i couldnt portforward(to use for cs)i was advised that my router netopia was not a good router for this and to that end i got a netgear dg834g v5. i got it set up and working and set for portforwarding and still my second box is showing my first box the server as offline. both boxes dm500s have unique ips, dhcp is ticked and so is enable network. netmask is the usual 255.255,nameserver and gate way on both boxes display my router ip. i have done a few tests, i checked my dyndns address and it came back ok,the router can see both boxes cos i can edit them, i checked the ports with port checker and it came back (timed out)it said either my router,firewall,or isp could be blocking the port, can anyone help with this. i want to share to the dm500s in the same house but also to a mate in nearby house,but i can do neither. i know i also likely done something wrong or missed something out in my setup,if any one has this router and are on eircom and have it working could the let me know what settings to check thanks.

 

Have ya checked out this guide for your rouer!

Good while ago since i did it, but you have to set port number, then go in to NAT (i think) to actually open it!

 

i went to portforward.com yesterday when i got the router,the server box is still being seen as offline and 0 cards. i pinged it,it came back 4 packets transmitted,0 recieved,100% packet loss,time 3011 ms. i tried all i can think off.

 

for the dg834g V5

Nat is the key.
In services add a new service for the CCCam port.
In Firewall add the rule to forward the CCCAM service to the local lan ip of the DM500.
Then use the dydns section of the router setting to setup the dyndns of the router.

On the DM500s turn off dyndns and let the router handle it.

This way you actuall connect to the router on port say 12000 and it forward the packets to the dm500.

hopefully that all make sense.

BTW i got rid of the DG834g V5. Its the worst version they have. it's cheaper china components and it's not stable. It will lose wifi and dhcp information regularly.

I use the V2 V1 and GT version all with the customer DGTeam firmware on it and these are rock stable. My V1 had an uptime of 200days before . I could't get a day out of the V5. There is no custom firmware for it either.

 

thanks monk i was told go for this router and it seems fine tho, i will have a look at it again thanks. i tried quite a few sites for info,but couldnt find anything that helped.

 

i did all that monk,and i had made an error which i fixed. the box is still showing as offline,so i again went through a few checks. i tried port checker(which now says the port is opened and nothing is blocking it)i checked my dyndns and it said ok, and i pinged the box it was ok. so the port is opened. on communication setup (on the dm500 boxes)do the ports on there also need to be set to 12000(i did do that and tried going back to the original setting).i got a message on screen from dyndns updater giving me a warning and that my account may be blocked and warning status yellow(whats that about)also i noticed on the screen that my dyndns was incorrect(example: host name.dyndns,ws) it should be .ws but its ,ws can i fix that . so am i being blocked is that why it still says offline,or is the incorrect dyndns in the updater at fault. only other thing i can think of is the f and c lines(which i checked i think they are ok i just kept them simple untill i was fully up and running) examples of my f and c lines, F:mate 1 dm5001 and cline is C:mydyndns 12000 mate 1 dm5001 do they seem ok are is there something wrong here as i cant see anything else that i can check any help is much appreciated thanks.
