in the box on the left double click on var ,then double click on etc ,now scroll down to where you see cccam.cfg and click on it once to highlight ,now right click on cccam.cfg and you will see options such as view /edit/ delete (click on delete )now your half way there .
now look in the box on the right and find the cccam.cfg file you paid for and click on it once to highlight it , now look between the two boxes and click on the little arrow pointing left ,the cccam.cfg file should now be in the box on the left so your work is done . now exit dcc and either retstart cccam or reboot the box (make sure your box is connected to the internet ) and then try a pay channel .
thanks for that i works fine

Hi guys, got a few dm500s boxes this week and getting a sly card to split between a few mates and family. first time to set this up but I'm very technical so shouldnt be a problem (hopefully!)
great posts pio, very helpful and easy to read.
I have one box to act as server in my house, all boxes will have Pli jade 3 and cccam 2.2.1, anyone have any thoughts on this image?
I will have another dm500s internally in the house to watch on and I will be setting up some external for my dad and brother. is it worth the few quid extra to get the Openbox S9 HD PVR instead of the dm500 for them?

buying the openbox depends on if you have a hd subscription ,if you dont you wont really get any benifit as all most all hd channels are scrambled . on the other hand if you have a hd sub you could invest in dm800 hd for the server and use openboxes as clients .
if you only have an sd sub the dm500s will suffice as will the image and cam ,however you should read up on oscam also as you may have to change and use that in the future as opposed to cccam .you would only need oscam in the server box cccam will be fine for the clients .

cheers mate, do you have a link to read up on the oscam?
I will be sharing a sly card to a few family and friends, I will have two boxes internally in my house. the dm500 will be the server.
one person told me to leave the server box for sharing only as if im watching tv on it it will slow performance and affect external people sharing from this box, I was advised to leave the server for sharing only.
another person told me it wouldnt make any difference, what do you recommend, setup the server for sharing only or setup the server and use it also as my main tv?

you should be able to watch channels on your server absolutely fine and it will in no way affect your clients .the only time it would affect the clients is if you had the server switched off .

if you paid a payserver for the c line the answer is no ,they will have disabled resharing . you could probably use the same c line in two different boxes but not at the same time ,i mean if you wanted to watch pay channels in your bedroom the box down stairs would need to be switched off and vice versa but that is far from ideal .the only ther sollution is to pay for additional lines ,you would probably get a discount for purchasing multiple lines .

you should be getting 2 clines for approx 24 euros per month,not bad considering what a legit sub would cost.

press audio button on the remote and change the audio to english ,note that if you power your box off at night you will need to reset the audio again the next day .

the whole point of these threads is to show users how to set up their own servers so they don't put themselves in harms way of illegal card servers that will be chased down by legal enforcement. as such i resent the content of the last post. do you totally miss the point bing or are you just to lazy

Hello, can you please send this "how to" to me, and what methods can u use to send them to me, i am new at this and i want to get the dreambox. I also need to know how this thing work, do i need a sky card, server or what do i really need to get this thing working for me. I Live in Ireland and currently have an INET BOX 300S (CLONE OF THE DREAMBOX) installed by a technician but its messing up.Since they would not show me how to do it myself, i want to learn it and have the original dream box installed myself. Can you help please?

No i wouldnt think so that sounds about right for box and one year sub.
Hope you know this guy cause this is not a secure way of doing business with total strangers.

also you wont learn a thing about cs ,and chances are this guy will pin lock your box and if he lasts 12 months or 12 days in the end you wont have the pin for the box and its unlikely the guy will give it to you .so at some stage your going to have to flash the box to reset the pin and learn all about cs (all the things you want to avoid )so perhaps if you think you have the ability to learn (with help) you would learn to do it yourself . that way you will know how cs works /how to flash your box and the ins and outs of cs . of course you need either a c line or your own card ,your own card is better but you can buy a c line .of course buying a c line has its own risks .

Thanks for advice -the guy works for one of the big tv companies(no names!) and is a relative of a friend
It is 12 months guarantee - and if it needs reprogramming after that he said £80 for next 12 months cover.Being a tightwad don't want to pay possible £80 - but it is good value compared to buying kosher?
CS heard about it but it does seem too tecchy for me - will ask the guy if he do it for me -or is that his secret?

some images say 28.2 and some say 28.4 but really they are both the same .
"my 2nd problem is when i press Nabilo image cams i do not get no list but a error message saying error downloading with the http:/www.etc address under that error message can anyone advice me what to do as i am new to this as im moving over from my cable box to sat"
try putting the box in standby and then unplug it ,then put the router in standby and uplug it ,now disconnect the ethernet cable from the box and the router . now reconnect the ethernet cable to the box and router and ensure its connected correctly ,then plug in and switch on the box ,once the box has booted up and you can view free to air channels plug in and awitch on the router and let it boot up (wait about 30 seconds).now look in through the vents at the top of the box (look towards the left rear of the box and you should be able to see a little light ,also there should be a light on the router indicating an ethernet cable is connected .if you can see these lights you should then be able to press the yellow button two times to get to where you can download cccam .if you still have a problem the image may have a glitch in which case a change of image may be required .
you could change the nabilo image you have for a another ,by clicking on the first link of my signature area you can download nabilosat maxvar v8 its a newer version of the image you have ,before flashing the box in dreamup look just above where you see flash and you should see flash erase (click on that and erase the current image it only takes a few seconds )then flash as normal .
