MGB, Tried those settings and frequencies but no joy.
Just to confirm my signal works with a connection through to the old mmds boxes or some channels you get by just tuning in the telly.
This means my signal is there and good so Im lost for solution.
When I take the cable out from mmds box I plug it into dreambox with adapter connection.Coaxial cable from mmds aerial to dreambox connection(whatever the name for it is)Its female on the dreambox anyway.
Does the error message on power up mean anything to you?
Flawed out from it.
Thanks again.

If there are no channels stored you get such a message.
Use the cable from before your decoder box and connect it to the dreambox input. Don't mix it up with the power inserter.

I am using the cable coming directly from the mmds aerial.
I dont think I got this message the first time I booted up.
I think it can be one of two things
1.My connecton may be faulty(unlikely)
Adapter connection I mean.The one that goes from dreambox to my aerial cable.
2.Dreambox problem.
More questions.
Should I always have 5 Volts disabled for both manual and auto scan.
In manual scan do you select any of the bottom items,Use ONIT,Use Bat,Network search.
Should I reflash?
This yolk is wearing me down.
Thanks

The cable comes down from the aerial and then there is first a power inserter box which feed the aerial with power via the antenna cable.
You have to connect the TV output side of the power inserter to the dreambox input. The power plug of the inserter must be plugged in.
If you subscribed to a scrambled analogue channel there is next a decoder box. If you subscribed to the basic package there is no decoder box.
The 5v are for a active dvb-t antenna and you don't own one.

MGB... YOU ARE A LEGEND.
Got your reply about 11.30 and my ears pricked.Went back to TV and tried what you said and hey presto.
Don't understand how I could see the 'free' channels without going through power inserter.I remember disconnecting from this as it had an intermittent fault where the picture would get fuzzy if the cable was moved.Bad connection somewhere I suppose.So was suprised when I didn't need it back then.
So when I went back last night I scanned a few times and I had success.
I created some bouquets..Do you lose them if you scan again and should I back up anything?
Probably shouln't mess with it now!!!
I can't even remember did I disable 5V. I suppose I must have if its working..
Do you put box on standy by at night or do you power off?
Thanks very much ..I was about to give up on it.

Hi... can somebody please help me...
I have a Dreambox 600T to pick up ch0r$ mmds. I have the gemini 4.3 image with mgcamd 1.28 installed. I had the working keys (entered manually in SoftCam.Key) about two weeks ago but they were changed and I cannot find the latest ones since.. I want to install the autoroll facility on the box. I have been advised by certain people to install the following files into the var/keys folder
SoftCam.Key
AutoRoll.Key
Rom7.bin
Rom10.bin
Rom11.bin
I found the files in different places. the rom files I found by installing the bigmaq toolbar and downloading them from there...but nothing works... I can only get rte1...the rest are scrambled. Can anybody send me these files.. or at least tell me (through a PM) where I can download the right ones.. I am tearing my hair out.
Also are the files listed above spelt correctly with the right cases etc.??
Thanks,

You need patched nagrarom7.bin and so on.

Hi...Yes I have what I think are the patched ones. I downloaded
nagrarom7.bin, nagrarom10.bin, nagrarom11.bin from the chatterbox.cc toolbar...Are these the rights ones?
I placed these into the vay/keys folder alongside Softcam.Key and AutoRoll.Key, I changed to a scrambled channel for a few mintues but nothing happened.
I renamed them to the Rom7.bin..etc. after that as a few postings named them as that but still no joy.
Should there be any other files in the folder for mgcamd to work and should the roms be in a different folder i.e. nagra_roms ?
How do I know that I even have the right AutoRoll.Key file?
Thanks.

Reboot the dreambox and check if the nagrarom files are still there.

Hi mgb17,
I flashed the 600PVR from scratch again and followed your instructions from another thread as follows:-
Install a gemini image for dream 600 box.
Install mgcamd and mgcamd config files via online addon.
Upload terrestrial.xml to var/etc and the dbox2 magic files to var/keys .
reboot the box.
Go to automatic scan and start a channel scan.
Go to blue pannel and enable mgcamd.
The only difference is that I didn't need the terrestrial.xml file as I already had scanned freq 234000 so I have a few unscrambled channels i.e. rte2 and tv3 to play with.
I uploaded the magic files that I found on the techwatch.com forum into the var/keys folder and then overwrote rom7, rom10 and rom11 with the latest ones that I found on the chatterbox.cc toolbar.
Regarding mgcamd I uploaded v1.28 to the tmp/ftp/in folder and installed manually through the blue panel as I have no internet access.
I restarted the box and still no joy.. How long does autoroll take?. Also does installing the mgcamd manually include all necessary config files?
Hope you can shed some light.
Thanks again.

Thanks very much mgb17... that has worked perfectly. Appreciate all your help. Don't know what I would have done..
Just noticed something else on my 600PVR - the volume is very low??. I turn it up fully to hear. You can't hear anything at half mast? Can I configure the box to increase this in any way??

Hi guys, i have the 600t working with a pli image with the new rom7 au on it and all is working fine but i would like to run it using a nagra rom card but not sure what i have to do. I think i need the newcamd server in the image so it will read from the card and update card when codes change. I cannot see newcamd server in the pli image so i'm wondering does anyone know what image i need and what setup is needed.
Thanks

Hi.. Can somebody help please. I had a perfectly working dreambox 600T with gemini image 4.3 and mgcamd 1.28 with autoroll and rom files. A month ago the channels started freezing. Approx every 15 minutes but sometimes every 2 minutes. When it freezes the signal levels does not change. I upgraded to gemini 4.5 and mgcamd 1.30 .. the freezing is not as frequent but still happens. I heard on some forums that mgcamd causes some issues. Anyone suggest another more stable cam to use ?
BTW. I have a ch**us sagem box that is working perfectly in another room so it doesn't appear to be the aerial / signal???

How did you split the aerial feed for the 2 boxes?
