Hi there mates!

First of all i must say I am a newbie. :)

So I followed this guide since I have a friend that dont mind to give me the clines and flines.

All worked well (at least it seemed so) but then the image started to stop now and then. And his box would even work, it would be stuck in one channel and if you cahnge the channel it just doesnt display any image.

Could this be happening because the friend that is giving me the clines and flines is already receiving them from other friend? So he doesnt actually have a server box.

I hope you can help me here! :D

are you using the same c line in two different boxes ? if the c line is intended for only one box then using it on two boxes may cause your problem . if the c line allows use on 2 or more boxes then you should be ok , but if not then that may be the problem , but its difficult to diagnose the problem when you cant see the box in front of you .you say your friend gives you the c line , if its the same c line do the channels open for him ? .

another thing that could cause the problem is an ip clash , as in two boxes or devices with the same ip address . but most likely I would think the cause is if your both using the same c line at the same time , as a test ask your mate to power off his box and then see if pay channels open on your box , if they do either the problem is down to the c line not being able to work in two boxes (most likely I think )or its maybe an ip clash .

ips in different houses shouldn't clash as each house has its own network , but I know a friend who was sharing and his box ip clashed with who he was sharing with and he had to change his ip to a different ip , and then it worked . so I know an ip clash (all be it very rare ) can occur . ask your mate what his box ip is and check it to see if its the same as yours , if they are the same try changing the ip on one box and of course disable dhcp , if dhcp is enable the router could again give you that same ip .

Thank you for your fast reply mate!

How can i know if the cline can only be used in one box? Maybe that's the problem since we have different ip's.

Also let me ask you a stupid question. My friend shared 2 clines with me, wich are from hispasat (ME0&Z0N providers)and if i use both clines he cannot see tv at his place, but i can, if i only use one cline he can see perfectly but here the image is always stoping. Do I need to have 2clines always? Also im thinking in gather some free clines from the internet, get them together with one of my fried's clines to see if it gets better, do you think this could work? As I said im a newbie so pardon me if i am saying something stupid.

Thank you very much friend.

Thank you very much friend.

the person who supplied the c line will have an f line in his box that basicly controls what the c line allows you to do , if he only wants the c line being used in one box he can set the f line to do that and likewise he can set the f line to allow the line to be shared with other boxes .

as I say really in my experience the problem you describe only happens with a c line that doesn't allow use in two boxes or an ip clash . as I say the ip address shouldn't really be an issue but you probably should check and rule it out . if the problem is the c line your options are limited really , you would need to get the c line supplier to allow its use in two boxes or get another different c line . you mention free c lines , yes you can get those but you don't get a guarantee of how long they will last , but you always get another free line , I know a site that usually has free c lines . I don't know if I can post c lines on the forum here even tho they are free nad I don't want to break any rules so what ill do is ill pm you the free c lines and you can check them out . these are the satellites and channel providers they say the line works with .

If your only using your DM500s as a client box then it's not that difficult. I've managed to get Oscam working on my DM500s with both a Pli and Commando image.
What's your current setup?

Hi Guys,
Sorry to hijack the Thread, but I'm having trouble trying to setup an old Dreambox I have.

It was working no bother before with C-Line etc, but I have since changed providers, so I need to change the C-Line.

When I get into the box to FTP, I can see all the files from the Laptop in the box on the right hand side, But the box on the left is blank.

I think the ones on the left are supposed to be for the Dreambox, but there's nothing there.

Any ideas? I don't know a whole lot about them.

Thanks for any help.

If your paying a sub for a C Line and putting it into your DM500s and only use the box for this then your a 'client'. I can give you a guide on how to install an old Pli image which has oscam on it. You will need to know how to flash your DM500 with an image and be able to FTP files to the box. If you can use DreamBoxEdit to save your exisitng channel setup that would save you having to sort them all into Bouquets again afterwards.

if you cant see the files in the box on the left it usually means the box password has been changed , that's the password you see in dream control center . by default username is root and password is dreambox , if the default password has been changed as seems to be the case you will need the new password . to get the password you need to contact the person that sold you the box and ask them for it , or you will have to reflash the box to reset the password back to its default .

mojo mate sorry for the late reply I couldn't get on here today . mojo have you done a scan ? that's the first thing you should do , that may bring back any missing channels . if your still missing channels after that get an up todate satellite.xml file and pop it into your box using dream control center , if you remember I gave you instructions for doing that a few pages back in this thread . that said mojo you only recently put an up todate satellite.xml file into your box so I imagine a scan should bring back any missing channels.

also if your looking at channels through your bouquets that would explain why some channels are not opening , as channels in bouquets stop working all the time due to frequency changes etc , so go to your all channel list and do a scan and then check to see if the missing channels have returned . if they don't get an up todate satellite.xml file and put it in your box , then reboot the box and do a scan and after the scan check the all channel list to see if the channels have returned .

only one channel has been giving trouble in recent times and that's rte1 , it was a server issue , most servers have rectified this problem . if you do a scan and all channels are ok except rte1 then you need to talk to your server .

also you don't need to reflash your box in order to install oscam , should you need to install oscam you can probably do so via the addons menu in your box . but if not you can simply get a suitable oscam file and pop it into your box using dream control center , reflashing a box should only ever be a last resort . talk soon

Yes, This seems to be the case.

He gave me the password yesterday, but it's of Russian origin, so it'll be a few attempts to get it spelled correctly. :)

Thank you for your help.

I'd like to have that guide.

Please feel free to pass it on when you get a chance.

Hi Piopat. I can't seem to find Oscam available as a download through the 'addons' panel on Pli. I've also tried sending the .tar.gz oscam download file to the /tmp directory and installing via the manual install option but this fails, have no idea why.
That's the reason I said 'you will have to re-flash the box' as there is an old Pli image which already has Oscam, an old version, pre-installed.

the cam you use has to be both suitable /compatable for your box and for the image your using , if your box is enigma 1 the cam must be suitable for enigma1 or E1 , if your box is enigma 2 you need oscam compatable with E2 . also usually with cams the cam must be compatable with your image ,as your image is pli the cam probably must be compatable with pli images . the cam name will usually tell you if its E1 or E2 and what image its for , for example
E2-oscam-5444-pli.tar.gz

you can see its got E2 (that's enigma 2) and it also says pli .

of course you can probably (regardless of image )just put the oscam bin file into your box using dcc . e1 boxes use PowerPC (ppc) bin file and e2 boxes use mipsel bin files . if you get the latest oscam distribution file (or atleast a stable distribution file) open it and it will contain several versions of the same oscam file for e1 /e2 / computers and so on , simply open the file and get the oscam bin for your box .and use dcc to pop the bin file in to your box .

for enigma 1 boxes send the oscam (PowerPC ppc ) bin file to var/bin (make sure the oscam file is just called oscam nothing more ,if its called oscamppc or some thing just rename and remove the ppc bit ) using dream control center . you have 3 main config files oscam.user/oscam.conf/oscam.server and these files go to this location in your box var/tuxbox/config .

for enigma 2 boxes send the oscam (mipsel)bin file to /usr/bin , and the config files depending on your image go to these locations var/tuxbox/config/ (OE2.0 based images) or etc/tuxbox/config/ (at oe1.6 based images .


you can download all kinds of oscam files and bin files here

piopat, your a saint. mojo, for the love of god check cable connection at sat dish and the check cable connection on your box. if you use menu system on dm500 then setup, then sat and transponders and satfind. if there is no signal then there is no signal because cable is displaced. not rocket science
