Do I need oscam

Hi All,
Now that I have 12.04 installed on my PC with cccam and ocsam also I now want to go to the next step and install 2 smargos. I previously had these running in a 7020 with CCcam. I am wondering if I need to install oscam at all. Because of my limited knowledge in PC's etc I would like to keep things simple.

smargos work fine with CCcam - you only need Oscam if you are using Omnikeys or with certain cards, so I can't say for sure - although there are one or two channels on sly UK for example that might be an issue with CCcam, most would live with this.

Thanks for that musogeek,
I think I will jump in at the deep end (be ready to pull me out) and leave oscam installed also in my setup. Will I run my two **y cards in oscam and get my hands on 2 omnikeys. Advise me on the best tutorial for installing the omnikeys on the 12.04 server please.

Thanks for your quick reply.
I have had a change of plan. I will run CCcam only as this is all I need for my cards. I have some smargo's here that are working so I will give them a go. Do I need to un-install Oscam as I will not need it or will it have any effect on the performance of the server.

HI musogeek,
I managed to get the server with one smargo running so far. I have gnome gui running so I was able to set the IP to static using this. I now need to lock the smargo to a specific usb port which seems to be the only problem at the moment as it hops all over the place if I remove and re-insert or reboot system etc. Can I use the Gui to to lock the smargo. Thanks in advance.

Thanks Banny,
I will give it a go later and let you know how it went.
