i am about to buy my first receiver running on linux but need some help, ive been on cable for years and pretty much new nothing about cable boxes at first but learnt pretty fast how to keep them operational.
well now due to me having a holiday / retirment home in france i use satellite equipment and im totally lost at the moment, im off to the house next thursday and im looking at a dreambox receiver that has the following info attached to it,
""Brand New Dreambox 800HD PRO Satellite Receiver with Rev-M tuner & Bootloader 82.
Comes with CCCAM and *** UK Bouquet so it is almost plug and play."
now i apologise sincerely if im not supposed to have posted quotes like this but i need advice, so here goes, is this box "plug and play" as stated or does it need any further work to get it up and running ? ive read the forum tonight but im starting to wonder if its as easy as the old cable boxes the most confusing for me is everyone seems to know whats going on and i can't find the basics such as what exactely is "cccam"
thanks for any help guys and girls, regards gary.
