hi jack some times an image goes berserk ,in my experience its rarely the box (but the box can funny but not often clone or not) try reflashing but if its a dm500 flash erase first . if its a newer box such as dm800 no need to flash erase as the new image over writes the old automaticly .flash the box with the same image or get the same image from a different source .

Hi,
I know this may sound stupid but when I am using DCC to install CCline do I have to be connected to the Dreambox via a null modem cable

no mate if your using a wireless laptop and wireless router once dcc is setup you should be able to connect to your box from any room in the house wirelessly ,have a look at the first few pages of this tutorial it explains how to setup dcc .if you have any questions just ask .

I currently have a DM800 HD with 28.2 sat loaded, can anyone tell me how to add/scan for other satellites.
I have a single LNB with a 1 metre motorised dish.

You will have to add more lnbs like a quad that will give you loads more.

I thought one LNB was enough with a motorised system, it worked fine on my Technomate

Hi guys. Quick question. I have 3 boxes in the house which all work fine.
However, I noticed an issue a couple of weeks back when I ordered Wrestlemania on sky box office. I expected the boxes upstairs to pick it up but nothing, it only showed up downstairs. Is there anything different I need to do in the config file to enable box office shows?
Cheers

Hi guys
My DM800 isn't displaying Adult Channel/Playboy. I've subscribed to it, receive it fine on the Sly box but I just get a blank screen on the dreambox after the freeview has finished.
I've put my box pin in the cccam.cfg file so not sure what else I need to do. Any suggestions would be gratefully appreciated.
Cheers

Have to say i have moved over to the Sat side myself to try it out and to be fair to the Sat side of things all i can say is the cable side is dull the amount of channels you can receive well in their thousands not hundreds ok you have to pay a monthly sub to get them but to be fair well worth the bother in my opinion i also thought a very difficult task but after reading and following the tutorials dont know why i never tried it before i would defo recommend this for anyone that can get a dish up get a good line and your good to go but as always there is a risk involved since having this set up now cable is no longer an option for me anyways as they say once black never go back well after you try the Sat option the same applies
I am converted and convinced its the way forward now.

piopat, fintanni and all who have contributed to the thread with help and advice, total respect and admiration especially to piopat and fintanni. What an asset to any forum those 2 guys would be.
I have just finished reading all 40 pages and what can i say....fantastic! everything needed is there, the tutorial is the dogs bollox. I have been on a few forums looking for the info needed but now i have found this place i need to look no further. I've just started out on the Sat side of things so i am trying to get my head around everything at the moment.
Me and a mate have bought a DM500s each, and by following priopat's excellent tutorial i have flashed both boxes with the nabilosat darkstar 2 image and have CCcam 2.2.1 on both.
I have set it to astra/hotbird 28.2 east and done a transponder scan.
All the channels have came in no probs (will look at flipflops bouquet file soon).
I have managed to get the correct boxkey and can view the package i am signed up to :)
Had a few teething problems to get this far but managed to sort them no probs by reading through all the posts.
My next step is internal/external sharing and f lines/c lines. I'm afraid this is where i may have to start asking a few questions....although i will try my best to suss it myself first before asking.
It's getting exciting now Lol.
I'm just going to make myself a bacon sarnie and a cuppa and i will be back :)
Cheers all.

Cccam 2.1.3 complete is fine for the dm 500 (2.2.1?)
Well done and good luck we will try and help if needed although it seems you're doing a good job at the moment

there are a few newer versions of cccam jack but 2.1.3 will work just fine at the minute .
damo internal sharing shouldnt cause to many problems ,once both boxes are connected to your router (with cccam installed ) disable dhcp in the box that will contain the card (the server)dhcp is in communication setup (also make a note of the box ip address ).
lets say you have box 2 (the client box in the bedroom ) using dream control center open cccam.cfg in the client box and type in your c line . your internal c line consists of the server box ip address /port number/ username / password (example)
C:192.168.1.4 12000 box2 bedroom so you see the ip of the server box followed by the port number (the default cs port is 12000 )username and password can be anything you want as long as they are the same in the f line .
using dream control center open cccam.cfg in the server box ,now you only need a simple f line for internal sharing so (example ) F:box2 bedroom ,that should be all you need to share internally . for external sharing you need to do a bit more ,i suggest you share internally first to get the hang of things .

do a factory reset (and you should be able to scan astra/eurobird 28 east ) this will reset the box settings to how they were after you flashed it so you will need to choose tv type (pal) choose language (english) diseqc type is (one single satellite ,unless you have a motorized dish )then choose the satellite and do an automatic transponder scan for channels .
if your still missing channels you can add the missing frequencies with your remote control, here are instructions .
click on this link it has all the latest frequencies .
http://www.flysat.com/28east.php
now there is quite a lot of info provided in the link but all you need really is the frequency followed by the polarity (this is horizontal H or vertical V) followed by FEC (for sky channels this usually either 2/3 or 5/6 but they have a few odd FECS like 3/4 etc )the last piece is the symbol rate and for sky channels this is usually either 22.000 or 27.500 but again there can be a few odd symbol rates .
you will notice the first frequency in the list is for channel 4 /film 4 etc 10.714 H, so 10.714 is the frequency (polarity is H this is short for horizontal )next you see is sr-fec (sr is short for symbol rate in this case its 22.000 )and fec is 5/6 ,so thats really all the info you need .also you dont have to enter all the frequencies you see on the pc screen only the frequencies you are missing .
right now press menu on your remote control (from memory i think this process is the same on my box as it is on yours)press number 6 (setup)choose service searching ,now choose transponder edit (this is number 4 on my box),now you should see a list of satellites and astra/eurobird 28.2 east should be highlighted in red and the word sat is also highlighted in red .and to the right of the satellite list you should see all the frequencies currently in your box .
press the right button on your remote control to highlight add ,now look at the first frequency on the pc screen and check that its on your tv screen as well (the frequency should have a red box around it ,if the first frequency you see on the pc screen is also on the tv screen press the down button on your remote and the red box will go around the next frequency ,check each frequency this way .
when you come across a frequency that appears on the pc screen but is not on the tv screen press the ok button on the remote ,you should see transponder edit type in the frequency in the box provided using the number buttons then press the down button and use the right or left button to set polarity ,when thats done press the down button and set fec using the right or left button,now press the down button and type in the symbol rate with the number buttons . when this is complete press the green button to save .
carry on checking the frequencies untill you have added all missing frequencies (it will take a few minutes ,when your done exit back to service searching and do an automatic transponder scan and when the scan is complete you should now have all missing channels .

pio - i posted something yesterday regarding adult channels not showing on my dm800. They work fine on the sly box but once the freeviews finish, nothing on the dm.
I've put the pin number in the config file - is there anything else that I'm missing?
Would appreciate your help.
