Thanks for replying n95k
The boxes are all the same firmware. The only difference is the persons box that i'm having trouble with has a motorized dish and it's set up for 2 sats, (UK 28.2 and Turksat).
What we did at the weekend was to delete all the turksat subscription channels as he only uses the free ones from that sat.
So far this seems to have solved the problem and I like the moto, if it's not broke don't fix it! So at them moment all is good for now. Thank you very much for the reply though, much appreciated :)

Sorry as I know this has probably been asked before, my head is spinning again now from reading so much info and getting nowhere.

Ok I bought an openbox S10 about 2 months ago. I am really happy with it and so recommended it to 3 of my friends. I bought all 4 boxes from the same place, all are genuine. I set them all up the same way using newcamd and mine and 2 of the 3 friends all work fine. The 3rd friends kept on going to offline/login loop every now and then. So I thought i'd try mgcamd on his one. All worked fine for a day and then he recieved an e-mail tonight saying ...

Cascading. Increased number of requests for decoding sent to the server (limit is 360 requests per hour)

How can I stop this from happening ?

I am a total newb to be honest. I know how to ftp into the box, is there a file I can edit to stop this happening? or a reason for the offline/ login loop in newcamd? I have set all the routers correctly and we are all on the same server with the same packages, it's just the 1 box i'm having trouble with.

The way I set the boxes up was through the network menu on the openbox and adding a cfg file in the cccam menu

Many thanks for reading

Can you connect to the box through your pc and send it that way ?

kemestri, I don't have that option in the menu. I took my box round my friends house and it picks up Channel 4 fine there, so it has to be the dish on the roof or the cable that runs down (about 150 feet through boosters). I'll just have to hope that it's the dish and one of the neighbours complains !
Thanks for replying :)

Thanks Bigcheeks, I was just watching the blind scan and the 12607v 27500 comes up as fail ! Grrr ! I assume this is something to do woth the dish ?
Many Thanks for the reply :)

I am trying not to post here as I like to try to find out for myself but there is such an overwhelming amount of information on here (and out there) that my head is spinning now. I apologize if they have been asked before, I have tried to search for the answers.

Ok I have a openbox s10, to start with with was choosing 2 astra satellites (19.x and 28.2) and the eurobird one for my scan. All this does is give me over a 1000 channels and looks like they just repeat themselves 3 times ?

1) am I better off just scaning one ? say the 28.2 ? ( I have a fixed communal dish).

2) No matter what I do, I do not have Channel 4 HD, I do believe it's available on FTA now or am I wrong ? If so can I add it manually and if so how ?

3) Is there any windows based software to organize the channels once i've scanned them ? I only really want the main ones and a few others but it gets tiring doing it all on the remote. I don't really need the scrambled channels yet (I know I can do a scan and not include them) but i'd like them for later on once i've sussed all this cccam stuff out.

Thank you for taking the time to read this.

Oh and I am a complete newb to this, although I have PC experience I am still only just understanding all the lingo !
