Greetings I have a Octagon SF4008 and decided to try to get it going.I haven't been able to get the box to view PV channels.After reading the article about updating the oscam ,I went into usr/bin folder to see if the binary was there and it is absent.My question is ,can I download a oscam and insert the binary into usr/bin folder ?My current version is 11438.Thank you for the help.

Install the .ipk from here ~ RE: Latest OscamEmu For ALL Images Mips Arm Sh4 IPK & DEB - DOWNLOAD ONLY NO CHAT
Everything you need for powervu is included. You don`t need to configure anything.
If the channels are not clearing, the key hasn`t been posted yet ~ ONLY AFN POWERVU KEYS - NO CHAT - KEYS ONLY !!

Thank you for the reply master G.Is there any difference from one to the other .ipk offered?Thanks CH
-
For powervu you only need oscam-emu, not any of the other variants.
-
Just place the file into the box?Thanks
-
-
The previous files that are in the box won"t interfere with this new set of files?Thanks
-
The previous files that are in the box won"t interfere with this new set of files?
Only one way to find out
Install the .ipk and see what happens.
-
Okay Will do Thanks master G
-
I downloaded the file on a USB stick and inserted into the receiver and nothing.I then ,using the DCC control program transferred the file to var/volatile/tmp using ftp.I see it in the box showing attributes 644,does it need switching to 755?Also does it matter the was transferred using ftp instead of telnet?Sorry to be asking all these questions.CH
-
does it need switching to 755?
No.
does it matter the was transferred using ftp instead of telnet
Telnet is for running commands, not moving files to the box, that`s what File Transfer Protocol is for.
Now the ipk is in /tmp folder run this command in the Telnet window then press enter opkg install /tmp/*.ipk
-
Okay It is telling me the package is done and install,would I be doing anything else?Thanks
-
would I be doing anything else
Restart the box then start the new oscam in the image softcam manager.
-
Okay I did what you said,all I see is on a PV channel it tells me the SID is wrong and after a rescan of the transponder,nothing.
-
Scanning with an old satellites.xml won`t find any new transponder details. You`ll need to update that then scan again.
A recent channel list will have an updated satellites.xml file.
Download a channel list from here ~ Enigma2 Channel List - Settings and Satellites.xml
Send the channel list to the box with a channel editor ~ Enigma2 Channel List - Settings Editor
You can create your own custom .xml file then replace the existing one via FTP. It can be found in /etc/tuxbox or /etc/enigma2
Create satellites.xml here ~ http://satellites-xml.org/
-
I did rescan the transponder .Are you telling me that the box won't recognize a transponder info even after rescan unless the info is on a satellite xml file?I rescanned the satellite again and all I see is a dark screen on the PV channels.If I go in and delete all file (opkg delete/temp/*.ipk files.will that clear the slate and make it possible to restall the suggested file?Thanks

master G Would deleting the files present and starting again be a better approach?By no means was I questioning your knowledge on the way these receivers operations.It can frustrate those whom have limited computer skiills.CH

Would deleting the files present and starting again be a better approach
I don`t see what the point of that would be if you said it installed ok the first time.
You should be checking the oscam webinterface to see if oscam is working and what is actually happening, other wise we are just guessing.
An updated AFN key has just been posted so it should be clearing now. Be aware that these keys work for a short period of time and rely on members constantly posting the new key.

I went looking for the softcam keys which I had place in the box early on(before installing the ipk file) and the keys were gone.I have gone to the webinterface and it isn't working.I will read some more before I ask you for more help.Thanks CH
-
and the keys were gone
You don`t need to add any keys, i posted that once the ipk is installed you don`t need to configure anything. The keys are pulled from the AFN thread i linked above.
What is the ip address for the Octagon SF4008?
