Have to keep resetting my softcam!! Help!

  • So I have a Dreambox 800se HD, Every now and again I have to reset the cam to get certain channels (not all)... I've put up with it for a little while..


    Tonight I thought I'd try to switch everything over to my new Duo2... (for me that is not easy!) lol.
    Got everything running on the Duo but I have to keep bloody resetting the cam on that as well... But even more so than on the dreambox.


    Is there something that I'm missing here? Any help would be greatly received!



    By the way, I love the forum. Great place. :)



    I'm using Mgcamd? As that is what was set up on the dreambox when I bought it as a ready to roll package... I didn't always have this problem either.

  • This will just be a basic mgcamd cfg problem...post it here so we can see what the problem is.

    If my post helps hit the Thanks ;-)

    Edited once, last by Inspiral ().

  • I know I should'nt post up thanks here but I wanted to say this has sorted everything out...


    I'm about to copy this to my Dreambox now and fix that.... I can then give it to my Mother-in-law.


    A good bit of help for any noob having the same problems...
