Hello fellow linuxsat-support'ers, great forum!
I hope this is the right section!
First I would like to say I briefly began my research into this 6 months ago when I first found out about the CS scene (where have I been!?!?! haha) when my friend told me he gets these f5 boxes with subs, I did some research and discovered the last thing I wanted to do was buy a box with sub already on it, so I acquired my own f5 and sub separately. I stopped researching once I had my box running with a sub, until the last few weeks I was thinking it might be a fun project to setup my own server as I still have my legit sly sub so started reading up again.
Let me start by explaining what I want to do, basically, I want to setup a server on my old laptop to serve my sly uk sub to 3 bedrooms and the living room (would this be considered a local share?), then once I have that up and running I would like to give 2-3 clines(?) to family members that live elsewhere (non local share?). Lastly if all goes well I might want to look into finding another server that has different channels to do a swap with, so he gets my channels and I get his channels, does this make sense?
At the moment I have one ***box f5, my original sly box and card, my old laptop, an omnikey reader and an old thomson sly box as I believe my card and box are currently paired with the new method, and I will need to get it paired to this old box if I want my server to get all my subbed channels? The thomson box is the old HD box with component out. I understand getting *** to pair my card to this box may be my first hurdle?
I followed the guide on here 'Tutorial - Ubuntu 11.10, 12.xx, 13.04 x32/x64 - Automated Oscam/CCcam 2.1.3 Install', got the machine up and running with the oscam and cccam software. I got near the end to the part '3.. Configuring cccam/oscam for your Sub:' so I had to go find some info on configuring that. Whilst I was looking for info I kept getting sidetracked reading up other useful info, and I found out about people turning cline to nline and faking local cards and it got me thinking; For what I want to do, do I need oscam and cccam or would oscam or cccam alone be enough? I also noticed the tutorial I followed installed cccam 2.1.3 and this is the last version of cccam to support this cline 'hack', and that all versions before this allow this also. If I use this 2.1.3 version is there a way to make myself safe from these card fakers? Once they have faked your local card in oscam/cccam is there a way to block them other than getting a new card?
One more thing, from the oscam web interface my card reader isn't in readers, but if I do a usb scan it shows it as installed? How do I make it show up in readers?
Thank you for reading I hope this isn't too much lol
