cccam - just the basic's - please....

Many thanks. Ill post back tomorrow....can I put the command in without adding the card...or will it error...?

not sure what you meant by that but im not planning on letting this go beyond my own internal network....

oh - another question - i can get hold of an old DB7000 - if i want to add a second receiver/technically a third do i have to add another line or can i copy the config file (from the 1st client receiver) to the second??

so i have multiple config files? or just one config file with multiple entries - if if thats the case can you show me an example??

Yup - that works...this keeps getting better all the time - ive managed to get hold of my mates 7025 and upgrade the second stage bootloader and use one of the brand new images through barry allen....great!

I have a couple of general questions now (all regarding the same thing)

1. My vu is running as the ccam server - how much resource does it take to run it (is it heavy on the os or does it handle it without batting an eyelid?)
2. As all of this is happening on my local lan (all hardwired) how many receivers can i run internally? wife, 3 kids etc etc - id give anything not to watch the suite life of zack and cody in my sitting room!!
3. ive read lots of posts with regards to people kind of tuning the settings (is this because most people share out through the router) is that the bottleneck - or is the bottleneck the cpu on the serving receiver??

thanks to anyone that can answer those....and again thanks to all that have helped....

Ah - ok - i think i was getting mixed up with question number 1.....

Next question....obviously its working...scheming with my mate who i work with.....if it can service that many connections then if i share a couple out.....mother in law, mate at work....all they need in their cline is my gateway address and i set a route up on that to forward ports into my vu....is it as simple as that??

my ip is fixed so im not going to need any of that dyn dns stuff....

Just thought id chime back in to say thanks, im up and running and i was testing one of my boxes coming in through my router which is working fine.....more questions though (probably easy for you to answer)

1. whats the hopping thing about (why would you need it...)

2. Coining a crappy phrase "everyone is doing it" but....more to the point what about traceability....first and foremost a client receiver is share from the serving device over the net theres going to be a constant stream of traffic. Is that traffic decodable? is it traceable? what are the risks....+ obviously your/my/anyone router setup to do this is running an open port so it that subject to attack/compromise?

Not really fault finding questions but more just for my own learning/knowledge as this is all new to me - but great though!!

Thanks again for all the help.

im ok with the ip stuff....i knew about the traffic shaping, but didnt think they had got to singling out cccam stuff though....nice if just rolling the por over sorts it out then...thanks for the info...

sorry read that wrong....boo on the port changing....

At his point im going to keep it in-house...i think that best as this point....
