Ive been directed to here to get some help so here goes, before I start just want to mention what a good looking forum this is it's very user friendly and seems to have the lot all in one place.
I'm wanting to know what way to go with making my own server for uk only
Would it be a case of using a laptop or pc connected to a reader or receiver or can it be done using just a receiver to do everything?
Hope I'm not breaking any rules here

If you have a linux based receiver that can work as a server you are ready to go, let us know what receiver you are using and what image is installed, then we can point you in the right direction to oscam and how to configure it to work with UK package.

You can get an omnikey reader for less than £10 from our sponsor if you want to go down the pc server route, even an old lappy woth cracked screen will do the job. As for setting up the server it doesnt get much easier than this.

hi
another cheap solution is a dreambox 500, even a second hand clon is a perfect server.
just to mention the old workhorse dm500, for me still a impressive device.
hard to kill, very solid box.

Birdman,
Its all on here mate and most problems/questions have been answered so you just need to do some digging!
Use that Lappy as server > Get a Reader for your card!
Choose an OS and run the Autoinstall scripts > They will install OS and Oscam/Cccam - so your server will be setup and just need tweaking!
We are all here to help along the way!
Location up to you mate.....once setup its normally the inquisitive mind that makes changes lol but it can be left alone!
You can always access the server at pops location remotely if needed....but either or will work!Have Fun, Keep a Clear Mind! and Post back if any problems!

I agree I should use search function more sorry for bothering everyone .
Once you have tried out some things for yourself and possibly run into dilemmas,
then is when you need a hand not before ;) -
The server edition of Ubuntu is command based, I believe you can extend it to have a GUI or you can run the 'normal' edition of Ubuntu.
I started with a very old laptop so I opted for the server edition, due to recommendations. You maybe ok with a GUI edition if you find it easier and depending on the spec of the laptop you are using.
But sticking with what you have, so far you have installed Ubuntu and...?
This is where I become unstuck, I would recommend you get telnet and ftp working so you can connect to it and work with it as you would your vu duo.
I think the commands you need are
Codesudo apt-get install telnetCodesudo apt-get install vsftpdYou may find the following link useful _http://www.wikihow.com/Set-up-an-FTP-Server-in-Ubuntu-Linux
Then run the automated script you will find in the tutorial section and that should be more or less your server setup.
You may also find the list of commands on this link useful _http://linuxsat-support.com/linux-pc-server-tutorials/16175-usefull-ubuntu-oscam-cccam-commands.html

If you are using one of the auto install scripts then openssh,proftpd,apache ect are already installed during the install process so you wont need to add any of the above mate.

Oops my bad, i must have done something wrong on my install
Quote from Birdman99Thats cleared that up i thought i had messed up, its a good spec laptop but ill just leave it as the server ubuntu for now.
The tutorial i was reading last night mentions putty and stuff so im not really know what road to go down.
should i go for smartgo or omnikey ???As far as I am aware depends which card you are using, but 'they' say the Omnikey (assuming your card is supported) gives a faster response times and is also the cheaper of the two. but hey I could be wrong again :)

Birdman,
Have a look here

If you choose to do it the router way it may depend on your router make!
Log into Router and it will be under a reference to IP setup or something to those words!
You will be given an option to set between a range.....you put ip address for both of your choice e.g 192.168.0.87 and 192.168.0.87
Save those settings and reboot router!
That's a vague description of what to do but as i don't know setup and im on virgin best i could do!
