newbie help please

Hi mate, have you had a read though these.

Openbox Tutorials

being a newbie daz i would go for the d800 (clone of course)

daz stick with a dream for ease of use and amount of knowledge available through this forum . Dont bother with a full price dm a clone is just as good like scoot has stated. Once you get a unit if your stuck just ask away

regards

I have a dm800, openbox s9 and dm500's. Have to say the Dreambox can do far more than the Openbox S9 for example 7 days worth of EPG, the ability to flash different images, load different softcams and stream video. Although it is a bit harder to setup. The Openbox on the other hand is very simple and easy to use and setup. Yes you can load new firmware but not that much changes with new firmware mainly just bug fixes. It has an embedded NewCS softcam server and CCcam client. It's good as a second box.

I would recommend a dm800.

i guess a lot depends on your budget mate . Do not rule out dream clones though as they are more or less as reliable as the originals . You can pick up a dm800 clone for around 130 euro's if you look around the net . Just make sure you flash with an image suitable for a clone. You can then add a cheap usb tuner with some of the latest images ( already supported ) so then you can record and watch different at the same time

good luck

Openbox is client only unless you go the newcamd route! Dreambox 800 will run as a cccam server aswell as a cccam client but will only hold a limited amount of peers because of the small memory and processor size and the crappy ethernet port! In my opinion the HD picture quality is WAY better on the Openbox! Each one has its faults! I own both and also a couple of DM500's! I have the Openbox on my 42in LCD in my living room and the DM800 in the bedroom on a 22in LCD! The DM500s are there to fall back on if anything goes wrong with either the HD box's!

hello guys, i m new user for openbox s9 and just got last 2days ago.
i m in malaysia and anyone help sent me a setup code for a new CCcam .cfg from start
i total lost don't know how to do? please help?

hi botak,

You need to get yourself shares with friends etc to begin with . But over in malyasia i dont know what dish footprints you would pick up or what satellite packages you would be looking for. It is not as simple as buying a box and it gives you free TV. You need a network of friends to share amongst etc. A standard cccam.cfg is just that !!! empty and only contains some guidance with information. You need to determine firstly what you want to achieve with your new box
