what box do i need

i have just bought a cyfra plus card for the premier league what box do i need to view it and how big a dish thanks in in the southeast of ireland

 

wow, you kinda jumped the gun on that one. surely you would have asked those questions before you bought the card . for starters cyfra transmits on hotbird at 13e and as such a standard sky dish can pick it up. secondly you will need the like of a dreambox running cccam+newcs to decode the card. the dm500 is the cheapest solution.

 

any links to where to get dm500,, is this the cheapest box out there

 

well at about eur 50 it dinna become much cheaper for a computer (linux or not). folks i use are http://dreambox.me.uk/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=31_54&products_id=9

 

or a openbox s11 for 50 and its hd

 

d

does that mean i need to have the internet ?

 

openbox, while a decent box, cannot open cyfra by a long shot. no you do not need internet to open the card

 

okay so if i buy a dreambox i need to put software or an imag on it do i?if so where do i get the image /software

 

wow, now took me ages to sort a tring card for my brother in his pub. for me who kinda knows this stuff took me two weeks to get it right

 

pli is always the image of choice on a dm500

 

so is it that complicated to set up the box ?

 

piopats tutorial thats been stickied more than a mans porno mag

 

getting newcs and cccam to interoperate is somewhat complicated. google config files for this. it is not easy but if you understand linux structures it should only take a few days to figure the different files that need to be modified

 

is there any other way around this ?and if i manage to do it will it just need to be done the once?is it possibel to pay someone on here to do it

 

no and no and no to all your questions. if you wish to learn then will help

 

okay in lehmans terms if possible please or a step by step guide is tht possible

 

There are step by step guides on the dreambox already, just look at any post by PIOPAT and its in his sig, guides etc, but cart and horse spring to mind alright, I am sure Fint will help ya, put the coffee on its gonna be a long night he he he

 

for starters you need to buy a box and load an image. i'm not going to waste my time explaining a process to someone only for them to decide its too complicated and not bothering to go ahead with this

 

i will apreciate you taken the time to help me with this thanks

 

If I had to go through all that trouble just to watch TV. I think I'd move to another country.
