Shy Channels on sat with dreambox 500s

Always the way you buy outside the Uk or Ireland you always have to pay the postage both ways tbh if you cant get locally i would not bother as by the time all the p&p is paid and all the time wasted sending and waiting on the return of the box you would have a new one bought not worth the hassle same with cable boxes you have to pay both ways should your box brake down or go faulty

 

Yeah, the problem is that in total i'm down 230 euro, I will keep hassling them to see what they are going to do, at the end of the day you are not going to buy a box from this crowd, if the response is going to be like this, I can get at a tunar myself quite easily, and cheap. It would be better than sending through the post, and it would only cost a few euro more, with the knowledge that it can sent back to the uk if there is a problem, at a reasonable price.

 

As I said folks, this could end up running longer than 'Eastenders'

have a goo at this,from the company.

Hi,


Sorry,the only way is to return and we send you a replacement.Any other customs do it. If you don't want,you lose your warranty.I think we can pay the shipping cost from China to you.Only the dreambox(except all accessories and box) back please. Wrap it well and send by the cheap postal service.


Keep the tuner away from the fan,then it won;t make noises.


Regards,

 

guys after purchasing a new pc base station but i have found out it does not have a potr for a null cable, what options have i got now to access the dcc now. i have numerous usb ports and a hdmi port. are any of them of any use for this?

 

get yourself a USB to serial adaptor cable here then attach your null modem cable.

 

lenny is spot on. killer is that it is hard to get a usb/serial connexion to work. managed it a couple of times. goo to have a hard serial connection

 

they can be tricky alright,..mine came with a driver CD but did'nt need it as windows 7 automaticaly found the adaptor, loaded a driver & assigned a com port,..sweet

 

thanks ienny123

 

Guys, How do you connect to ymax? if you don't have eircom coming to your house.
this question was posed to me yesterday evening, by my nextdoor neighbhours.

500s I got for them, I would be used to the router from eircom, but the ymax is an upright one with only a one rj45 points, One for the pc 45, two rj11 one into wall socket to allow the phone to work, any advice.

 

you can get a 4 way extension hub that you connect into the ymax router and you will have 3 spare rj45 sockets to plug into.you should be able to get one in any pc shop.only about 25 quid to buy

 

Jken,

would the eircom router do? I have a spare one, never thought of it until your reply.

 

Long time since I've been up here, goes to show the DM500s have been behaving themselves.

Have just got a problem with a couple of the boxes.

So every so often after a hard power off I have to reflash the boxes, not a problem.

Then find the channels, not a problem.

Then upload the CCcam.cfg shown below

Code:

SERVER LISTEN PORT : 12000 
C: 192.168.1.113 12000 root114 root114

The server CCcam.cfg is shown also

Code:

SERVER LISTEN PORT : 12000
SMARTCARD CLOCK FREQUENCY : /dev/sci0 3430000
BOXKEY : /dev/sci0 xx xx xx xx
F: root101 root101 3 1 1 { 0:0:3 }
F: root100 root100 3 1 1 { 0:0:3 }
F: root101 root101 3 1 1 { 0:0:3 }
F: root110 root110 3 1 1 { 0:0:3 }
F: root111 root111 3 1 1 { 0:0:3 }
F: root113 root113 3 1 1 { 0:0:3 }
F: root114 root114 3 1 1 { 0:0:3 }
F: root115 root115 3 1 1 { 0:0:3 }

So now I've only one slave box working on the home plug network (114)

The other ones can get online (check the forums through the box) but say the master is offline?

I thought it might be the plugs but I've swapped the working slave for a non working slave and the working one stays working.

Any suggestions lads??

Thanks
Gary

 

one of the client clines would read
c: internalipofserver 12000 root115 root115
for a box that is internal to your router or
c: dyndnshostname 12000 root115 root115 no
for a box that is external to your router

 

I am new all this, I have got dm600s and installed ge**ni and cc**m, selected eu****rd and as**a sat to get shy u k, I also bought c**ne from a website but now I am not getting any u k channels not even free ones, except some French channels and shy news international. Dont whats wrong, I installed the dish on my own using the Konig satellite meter in the same direction of dish of neighbours. Please can anyone help me?

regards

 

it would seem your dish is not set on astra/eurobird 28 east ,the fact that you have french channels (sky has one or two france 24 and tv5 ) and sky international and no free uk channels would indicate that .

 

Thanks for the reply Fintan, I have the IPs set to internal ones as all the boxes are internal.

Any more suggestions lads?

 

I know as a server the box needs to be better than a 500 but for testing purposes till i can get the boxes up and running will two 500's be ok. one as a server and one as a external box.

 

yes the dm500s will be ok for test purposes and it can be used as your server if you wish .

 

Any advise how to setup the dish?

 

hi gary mate sorry to see you have a problem i see your getting good help,fintann is the best im sure he will sort you out mate .
