Hi,

After running my VU+ Solo for a couple of years without problem but it has suddenly started get stuck in "Starting GUI" screen after any restart.
I was using a fairly old image, BlackHole-1.7.9, when this problem began but have replaced that image with BlackHole-2.0.3 now but whenever it needs to restart it still hangs up on the "Starting GUI" screen.

Is this a known problem and is it fixable?

Working fine on my VU+Solo with Black Hole 1.7.6 image - nice job guys :)

Thanks again for all the advice guys.

It would seem that Nilesat and 26E are not achievable with my setup and location. So the HD channels may not be useful for me but might be for some of my peers. I'll look into it more in the next few days.

Thanks again

Rod

Thanks for the replies guys.

I'm in the Manchester area of the UK and seem to get Hotbird OK must check Nilesat.as that's where the HD channels are?

Yes, musogeek, it's the monthly update is a pain with Tring. I got it for the 3pm matches but that was a waste of time LOL

I imagine there is a CCcam + Oscam configuration on the server somewhere.

Do JSC cards come activated or do you have to do the activation via the JSC site via proxy server?

Sorry for all the questions.

I'm thinking of ditching Tring Plus and replacing with an Al jazeera Sport Card.

Are there any known anomalies using this card with a VU+ Solo, BH image, CCcam etc?

Or am I likely to be jumping from the frying pan into the fire?

My main gripe with Tring is the monthly update fiddling about.

Any assistance in my decision making will be welcomed.

Yes m8, to get the update someone will have select oscam+Mgcamd from softcam manager, then when the update happens go back to oscam+CCcam so your peers can connect to your CCcam server.

Thought so :(

As I said in the first post, I'm away over the update period May/June. Maybe I should do something about getting different card that doesn't need monthly updates sooner rather than later.

Hi G m8,

I have Oscam6034+Mgcamd138 installed so will do the update using that configuration at the end of this month, hopefully.

Am I right in thinking that I have to revert to my oscam+cccam after update to provide server for peers?

I'm seriously thinking of ditching Tring, which I got for 3pm matches (Duh!), because of the monthly updates.

Rod

Thanks for pointing out my dates error which is now corrected :)

My setup is oscam+cccam installed from last year from masterG 's files.

I've always removed my card and put it in the Conex CAM to update on the 1st of the month.

I understood it was necessary to change oscam+cccam softcam to an oscam+mgcamd combination to effect the update and return back to oscam+cccam ? So either way I thought there was some manual change to be made to get update?

Maybe I'm a little out of date with the latest solutions to the problem.

I'll have a try with the info in the link you posted, hopefully for the Ist of May update.

Thanks for the swift reply.

Hi guys,

I have a Tring Plus card that requires updating in my Conax CAM every 1st of the month.
From May28th I'm going to be away from home so can't go through the process of updating till I get back on the 12th June.
I'm trying to figure out my best course of action, can anyone advise please?

I have just updated my card(mgcamd & newcs) and my entitlements are now 01000057, so if tring manage to their act together this weekend i should receive the 3pm matches..

I'll be interested if you do get 3pm kickoff matches on Saturday as I can have yet another moan at my card supplier. My update remained on 01000047 so not very hopeful. If they don't sort it I'll not be renewing - I might not even if they do after all the false promises.

Hi G,
My monthly renewal give the same entitlement code as before 01000047 - it was that Oscam was telling me on the 30th that I had no entitlements that started me wondering what was going on ... I find the Tring Plus promise of 3pm kickoffs was just a ruse to trick us into subscribing .. I'll be looking for another option next season.

Thanks for all the great support on here, it's appreciated.

In reply to my own thread the update is now complete - it's a real pain having to do this procedure each month end however :waaaht:

Its the end of the month again and my Tring Plus card needs updating for December so I have had a look at it in Oscam status and see it's showing "CARDOK (no entitlements)" today (30thNov)?
Is it normal to show "no entitlements" on the last day of the month ?
The channels are still clearing for me.

Another question is when is the update/renewal signal sent ? Is it from 12midnight on the last day of the month ?

I have found this Tring Plus card a real pain at the end of the month, my previous Digitalb card had no such problems and as the 3pm footy seems to be unavailable now I doubt I'll be renewing with Tring.

Hope my questions are clear and I'm not asking the obvious but I am confused.

Thanks.

Thanks for the the swift replies mate - this is my CCcam info line (below)

|127.0.0.1:34001 |00d 03:34:15|newcamd | | | 1 |remote 0baa:000000 1751(634)

I've used CCcam alone for such along time, it came as a bit of a shock to have to use another EMU to read the card. My next challenge will be to get it to automatically update in the VU+solo - but one step at a time :)

Thanks again for putting my mind at rest.

If you see below in CCcaminfo its perfectly normal and your peers will see it as your local.

The ecm on the infobar on the Vu+ will show 127.0.0.1:10000
The card needs an update on the 1st of each month although last year there were occasions where it needed updated just before a 3pm kickoff.

Yes I'm using CCcam 2.1.3 and oscam 4163 with your configuration and N line in CCcam.cfg

It seems to be working for me OK but just wondered if it should be showing as "local" and also what my peers may be seeing?

Am I right in thinking that I will need to update each month in my Conax Cam ?

Thanks for all your help now and before this thread mate.

Quote from master G

Are you using CCcam 2.1.3, version higher than this will will show the card as HOP10.

Hi ,
First can I say how invaluable this forum has been in enabling me to set up Oscam to read my Tring Plus card in my VU+ (Thanks to MasterG)

I'm using my original CCcam config with the added N line for Oscam but when I look at CCcam Info the CAID/Idents as "remote" - is this normal or have I made a mistake somewhere?

Thanks guys

Thank you for that very quick reply
I will try to do better .. not sure I like being a "lurker" ROFL
Cheers

Hi,
I seem to be unable to reply to threads or PM members , particularly in the Local Exchange forum. I get this message :-
