BoxNation stopped working on oscam help!!!

Hello everyone!! :smile:

I'm having trouble getting the BoxNation channel working on my DM800 through my oscam server. I have a BoxNation subscription and the channel works fine through my sly hd box.

I have checked that I have the latest channel listings on my DM800 and do not get a tune failure. All I get is a black screen which suggests to me that the channel is not being decrypted for some reason!

I was wondering if I might need to upgrade the version of oscam I'm using...?

Anyone know if there is a problem at the moment with BoxNation or have any suggestions...?

Many thanks,

Spodge

I don't think I'm using a whitelist, BoxNation used to work fine with my current setup.

I have not watch that channel for a good while now, so can't say for sure when it stopped working!

Thanks for the advice about the original box, out of interest what is the risk in doing this...?

Hi Skunk, thank you for the reply.

Is there a guide to updating oscam that you followed, sorry but it's been well over a year since I had to touch my server configuration so very rusty! lol

What do you mean if I've been paired...? Do you mean if I left the card in the original sly box too long and it's updated and re-paired with it, as mentioned by Steve...? What do you mean by 'Thompson' box...?

Sorry for all the questions!! :waaaht:

Well I'm stumped then guys....

Don't really want to upgrade my oscam install, as you say it's just one bloody channel. That old famous saying of 'if it ain't broke to fix it!' rings loud and clear, don't really want to risk screwing my server if I get it wrong! lol

Thanks for the useful comments.

Hi guys,

Thanks for the feedback much appreciated as always! :smile:

I am not actually using my DM800 as a server, running a HP PC with Ubuntu Server distro installed. I'm guessing that should be almost as easy to upgrade, but I think I will take a backup of the server first using CloneZilla just as a bit of arse cover! lol

I will let you all know how I get on so watch this space....

Cheers,

Thanks mate, just read through your tutorial and it looks very straight forward.

Couple of quick questions...

I am running Ubuntu 11.xx would you recommend upgrading to a newer version and then updating oscam?

Had a look at the latestoscam link and a little confused which binary I should be using...?

Can I simply download the latest oscam bin file and then just follow 'Step 3' of the tutorial or do I still need to follow Steps 1 & 2 as well...?

Sorry for all the silly questions, would just like to get it right first time round and with as little effort as possible! lol

Thank you for all your help so far! :caz3:

Cheers Thatfellow, you're an absolute legend! :2pints:

I'm using a 32-bit (x86) OS and a Smargo USB reader.

Just hope it sorts the issue out with BoxNation after all this! lol I am currently running OSCAM 1.00-unstable_svn build #5369. Pretty old now I'm guessing, but it has worked perfectly for me since configuring the server, which well over a year ago. Not really sure when the BoxNation channel stopped working...!!

Cheers,

Hi Thatfellow,

Only backed up my server so far... not had time and my dad wants to watch the football now lol! Hoping to update oscam later on tonight.

Would you say that I'll be safe using this type of binary file for my particular setup...?

oscam-svn8771-x86_64-pc-linux-webif-libusb-ssl-Distribution.tar.gz

I will upload my oscam config files, let me know if you think there are any amendments I need to make.

Cheers,

Spodge

As promised attached oscam files...

Cheers,

Spodge

Ok so I've replaced the oscam binary with the one mentioned above and followed 'Step 3' in the guide.

My oscam web interface is now no longer accessible! I have no idea how to even check what is working and what isn't! lol

Help please....?

Spodge

NOTE: I have reverted back to the original binary for now to restore service! :-)
