Good evening all.
If any of the members could help me out with the following questions I would very much appreciate it.
For your information I have just flashed this image onto my DM800 HD SE (V1) reciever and I have the following questions which I would like to ask you for some help with.
Firstly, in the plugins menu there are only Four plugins listed, they are as follows;
1. Cross EPG Downloader.
2. Media scanner.
3. OpenWebif.
4. Picture player.
If I attempt to download plugins I get a message on screen which says the following;
"The Linux kernel has changed, an update is not permitted".
"Install latest image using USB stick or Image manager".
The same message is displayed on screen if I go to set up and attempt to do a software update.
My immediate problem is that I would like to be able to install something like an addons manager that would give me the option of installing various softcams etc.
Secondly, when I go to set up / Autobouquetsmaker and enter PROVIDER / Virgin UK, my area is not listed.
(I have previously configured and scanned the tuner using the NET ID and PROVIDER scan option for my area and have FTA channels listed and viewable).
Your help and advice / guidance would be much appreciated.
Thank you and regards, The Soulman.

Nothing in / usr / keys
what is E-Panel ?
Extra install ?
I assumed from installing supplied IPK file that all necessary addons would be operational ?

Restart the box.
Add your server details to newcamd.list or cccamd.list.
Start mgcamd from softcam manager.
Hi master G.
I have restarted the receiver.
Where will the newcamd. list or the ccamed. list. be found ?.
Also where is the softcam manager located ?.
(I've looked but cannot seem to find it anywhere)
Thank you and regards, The Soulman.

Thank you very much master G.
I have downloaded and installed the file that you have so kindly provided using DCC.
DCC now shows the following:
Install IPKG Package:
Copy source file...
Transfer finished.
Install...
done.
###################################################################My question is what to do next, reboot box / how to check if MGcamd install is working ok ?
Thank you and regards, The Soulman.

There are only 5 FTA channels on cable.
People sometimes assume that the FTA channels on satellite are also FTA on Cable. This is not the case.
WOW !!!
Thank you very much for this abu baniaz.
I never realised that this was the case.
Until now I have only been used to satellite based systems where there are hundreds of FTA channels, many of them being in HD.
So from this information I can assume that my cable tuner has successfully picked up all available channels ?
Thank you and regards, The Soulman.

Good evening all.
A lot going on lately so yet another thread from myself !!!
I have a DM 800 HD SE (Clone / A8P SIM) on which I have just installed the image OpenPLi MastaG GStreamer 1.6.2 with IPTV.
The box was originally supplied with a satellite tuner and until a few weeks ago I have used the receiver for about Three years in which time it has worked flawlessly.
I recently installed a (Clone) cable tuner, I have scanned for channels and (I think) I have the receiver set up so far.
The next step would be for me to install the softcam MGcamd into the image, unfortunately there are no plugins on the image that allow me to do this, so after making some enquiries it would seem that I will have to do this manually using Filezilla / DCC .
(I am familiar with Filezilla but not so much with DCC).
I would be very grateful if any of the forum members would be able to help me with this process and explain which is the best / easiest method of doing this.
I have read that you would be better to install an addons manager that can then install the softcam and various other addons and also been advised that I can just install the softcam.
Your guidance / help / advice would be very much appreciated.
Thank you and regards, The Soulman.

You are trying to do a normal scan. Forget about doing that. You are not getting the provider option because PLI do not have a cables.xml file in their image.
Just go straight to AutoBouquetsMaker
Thank you abu baniaz
I have searched everywhere for the AutoBouquetsMaker that you have mentioned but I cannot find it anywhere, I don't think it is included in the image that I am using. (OpenPLi 4.0 MastaG GStreamer 1.6.2 with IPTV).
However perhaps you can still help me, I have managed to obtain a cables XML file and using Filezila I have placed it in etc / tuxbox and restarted the receiver, I now have the provider / Virgin Media option to scan.
I have scanned the tuner and it has found 536 channels, however when selected, the vast majority of them just show the current program details at the foot of
the screen but no picture, just a blank screen.
Others show nothing at all and then after a few seconds "SID not found in PAT" is displayed on screen.
I can view some FTA channels like BBC 1 North West (My region) and a very small number of others that I had randomly selected, but none of the FTA HD channels are viewable.Please could you tell me which FTA channels I should expect to be able to view after having completed a provider / Virgin Media scan that is showing 536 channels, I am not familiar with cable services scanning as I have always used satellite based receivers before.
i haven't been through all of the FTA channels listed but as I've said, the vast majority of them when selected, are just blank.
(AIl of the UK subscription channels are listed but I have not tried these as it is pointless without a valid subscription)
Do you have any suggestions as to why this might be ?

Hi abu baniaz and thank you for your reply.
Please could you tell me where on the image I can find the AutoBouquetsMaker.
Thank you and regards, The Soulman.

sorry about my 1st post m8,
i added a Sim2 backup not realising your using A8P sim type, so edited it accordingly bud, sorry if you flashed on a wrong image??
try this im going of memory here likes?
menu - setup - service searching
Tuner config = enabled
Net ID = ( put your area code here eg 00010 )
Used service scan type = provider
Provider to scan = v***** m**** ( press lefy/right on remote to change to this )
Don't forget to save (green button)
now hit scan
good luck
Below Net ID heading is used service scan type, only there is no "Provider" option.
When service scan type is highlighted, pressing left or right on remote only gives "Frequency Bands" or "Frequency Steps" options.
Regards, The Soulman.

Hi Inspiral.
On this image under service scan type, provider is not listed (Only "Frequency bands" or "Frequency steps") so provider to scan option Virgin Media does not exsist / isn't an option.
-
Thanks Inspiral.
Could you please confirm that once saved I would just unzip / unrar the image and install as with any other image.
Also perhaps I'm getting a little in front of myself here, but why would this work when scanning the tuner for services has failed ?
Please don't think I'm doubting your knowledge, I'm more interested in learning why this would maybe be a solution.
(In my book you take any oportunity were you can gain knowledge / learn something as a bonus)
Thank you and regards, The Soulman.
FOOTNOTE:
Hi Inspiral.
Looks like you edited yours before I'd replied.
(So which option to try first ?).
There is only One tuner (Cable) connected.
Thank you and regards, The Soulman.

Good evening all.
I'm hoping the good people on here may be able to help me.
I have a DM 800 HD SE (Clone) receiver with an A8P security SIM which was originally supplied with a satellite tuner and which I have used for over Three years without any problems at all.
I have recently purchased a (Clone) cable tuner for this receiver and have today attempted to get this cable tuner set up.
I have installed the cable tuner in the DM800 HD SE.
The image that I am using is OpenPLi 4.0 MastaG GStreamer 1.6.2 with IPTV.
The tuner shows up in the tuner configuration menu and I have entered my UK (Virgin Media) network ID and have then tried to scan for channels but after going through all of the frequencies and whilst displaying "Trying to find used transponder" on screen, the receiver displays the message "ERROR-failed to scan (error starting scan)".
After several attempts and changing the tuners configuration settings I have re-scanned only to be met with the same message once all of the frequencies have scanned.
I have connected an old cable box that I had from years ago (ITGATE TGM 220) to the line to test if this would be able to find any channels and it can find all of the UK FTA and subscription channels so I am certain that there are live services being broadcast on this cable.
I do not have Virgin Media TV service, only Virgin Media broadband, which I believe is the only service I need to receive FTA channels.
(ITGATE TGM 220 can see and list all channels)
If any of the members of the forum would be able to help me or give me some guidance / advice it would be very much appreciated.
Thank you and regards, The Soulman.

Hi all.
Hoping the good folk on here can provide me with a mini tutorial of how to install CCcam 2.2.1 onto DM800 HD SE (Clone) running original and up to date Dream Multimedia image Enigma2 (3.2.4)
I'm familiar with Filezilla so can go down this path for manual install, however I would rather use the internet / URL to download and install if possible.
I need to know the correct URL for extras / addons and where to enter / install it in the Enigma2 image and then where / which menu to access it from.
Thank you and regards, The Soulman.
