    Here is my simple How to:


    Compiling oscam on Ubuntu is relatively easy. I use 18.04.1 LTS, but it also works on older and newer versions.

    You must connect to a computer or server using telnet / ssh (use a small application called a putty). Select all lines at once and copy them to telnet (right-click on the cursor in telnet). The OS will start installing packages.

    Code
    apt-get install cvs subversion autoconf libccid automake libtool gettext make cmake tar bzip2 gzip patch ncurses-bin gcc g++ flex bison pkg-config pcsc-tools pkg-config wget libpcsclite1 libpcsclite-dev libusb-dev libssl-dev libpnglite-dev pngquant zlib1g-dbg zlib1g-dev zlib1g zlibc dialog build-essential mercurial minizip

    Install this package only if you have Smargo cardreader (there may be a newer version on the sourceforge server, please check first):

    Code
    wget http://sourceforge.net/projects/libusb/files/libusb-1.0/libusb-1.0.8/libusb-1.0.8.tar.bz2
    tar xjf libusb-1.0.8.tar.bz2
    cd libusb-1.0.8
    ./configure; make; make install

    We are now ready for the next steps!

    Code
    cd .. (you must go to the root directory of your system)
    svn checkout http://www.streamboard.tv/svn/oscam/trunk oscam-svn # you can also add: "-r xxxx" to the end to download a specific version of oscam. Very useful, especially if the newer version of OScam is not stable.
    cd oscam-svn
    mkdir build
    cd build
    cmake ..
    make
    make install # (this command will install oscam in the /usr/local/bin directory !! - if you already have an oscam binary there, make a backup of it)

    Now you need to change the attributes of the oscam file to 0755. Use these commands:

    Code
    cd /usr/local/bin
    chmod 755 oscam

    You also need to set it to start automatically at boot time. Enter the following commands:

    Code
    nano /etc/rc.local

    Write this line before the line "exit 0":

    Code
    /usr/local/bin/oscam -b

    Press CTRL + C and confirm the changes with Y.

    Now you need to create the oscam configuration files and transfer them to / usr / local / etc. You will also be able to use PSCS card readers (such as Omnikey) and Smargo!


    thnx to OldSkul.

    Because if you have, for example, a Vu Duo 4K with FBC tuners, there are 8 of them (2 physical + 6 virtual), so with unicable connection you can realistically connect every single tuner to their unique SRC and all 8 tuners work independently. In practice, this means that you can record from 8 different TPs, or 8 network clients can stream from such a box, all with one coax cable. Of course, this is not a necessity, but a better choice.

    What to say. Is an unfortunate story of an enthusiast who wants to handle it himself.
    That deformed metal motor mount is a force.

    toffee will probably have very strong hands.

    I set the dish with the motor as follows:


    1. Make sure that the mounting pole is perfectly vertical.

    2. First mount the support sleeve on the pole.

    3. Hold the motor over the sleeve. In this case, it will be easier to rotate with the motor to find the exact direction of the assembly.

    4. Set the elevation on the motor according to LAT.

    5. Mount the parabola on the rotor arm and set its direction flush with the zero position mark.

    6. Set the elevation on the dish according to the calculation.

    7. Mount the LNB on the dish and connect it to the LNB connector on the motor. The LNB skew set to 0°. It can be fine-tuned later.

    8. I will connect a measuring device or a satellite receiver to the motor.

    9. Depending on the longitude of my position, I will give the USALS command to the motor to move to the nearest satellite. E.g. My longitude is 18 ° E, so I enter the satellite 19.2 ° E, or I switch the satellite receiver to a program from this satellite.

    The motor is moved to a given satellite.

    10. Now by turning the whole assembly - the dish and the motor, on the main pole, I find the position for the maximum signal from the satellite (according to the example 19.2 ° E) and secure the motor sleeves.

    11. Then I move the engine west and east to other satellites and based on the signal measurement I check the correct elevation setting.

    12. In case of any deficiencies, fine-tune the elevation or direction settings of the assembly.

    13. Finally, gradually tighten the locking sleeves on the motor and the dish.

    14. And yet, I will not forget to remove the support sleeve :)

    Here are a two examples for Smartreader setup in oscam (from streamboard):
