Not been following all this thread but ERT (39e) channels all working here in UK now.

I used the 27.5w satellite daily when travelling in my motorhome across and down through Spain and Portugal using a 80cm dish with good signal and rain fade margin. Usual practice was to lock onto Hispisat (30W) to get strongest signal, then turn dish only very slighly west ( about 1/8 " on a 2" pole) untill Hispisat pictures freeze then only very slight tilting back at the top top lock-on to 27.5W. This sat needs very accurate focus/direction to lock-on. Have used a 60cm and 45cm dish but signal lost easily if rain/weather not so good. Sat was still live when I last checked a few weeks ago here in Notts. on a 80cm dish.

The current BISS keys start with "D2 xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx"

Was still working a few weeks ago when I checked at home (Notts.)

On my H7S, I occasionally do a back restore from slot one to any of the other slots when I want to experiment and make changes without affecting my original in slot one. I am using openvix (latest), but it worked on earlier versions.

My working lamedb file including radio channelslamedb.zip attached. All working except more4+1 (now left 27.5w). Compare this to yours, I had problems with file corruption using channel editing programs so now only use Notepad++ to edit lamedb file.

These are mine and working perfectly. Just extracted from my box.

(just a single line)

These are edited into the files using Notepad++ as other channel editing seem to corrupt!

Looks good. Which sats are you receiving/set up for? What is the closest sat separation?

Satellite 9.0e DVB-S2 12092H 27500 3/4 8PSK showing a number (approx 12) of Freeview channels similar to those "available" on 27.5w managed by Arqiva but without Video PID and Audio PID. Anyone else seen these or know anything? Is it something to do with potential demise of Intesat 907? No mention of these recent finds on Flysat, Lyngsat or King of Sat.

Just curious as it works straight away with latest software in non linux box (Edisions etc.)

Am new to CCcam, can anyone tell me if SRG channels @ 13e deg. opens with CCcam 2.3.0.?

Anyone? Tell me if this a silly question.

Has anyone managed 27.5w on a ARM 4k box? Which softcam key File, Config? and anything else I need to know? Succeeded on a mips box (Edision Nino Pro) using CCcam 2.3.0, but the ARM box (Zgemma H7) which is much slicker, is giving me a hard time.

Thank you!

Thanks - will give it a go!

Thanks for your reply, where did you download from? I've been to so many places I can't remember where I saw the last list of oscam-emu files?

Thanks for the info!

Help ,is loading a .deb file the same procedure as loading an .ipk file by usb on a 4k box (Zgemma H7s)?

Can anyone tell me which oscam-emu file I need for openvix on Zgemma H7s?. So many to choose from for a newbie. The ones I have tried don't work for me

Many thanks so far, still waiting to take the plunge once I have got the stb to talk to the laptop. I don't really know what c lines are or what to do with them. I guess it is something to do with the internet. I don't have fixed broadband, only phone data as and when needed which suits our needs. I have taken the precaution of loading a separate (latest) openvix to set up OScam on a spare slot so as not to affect what is already working. Scanned in the 27.5w channels ok, and now need to edit the lamedb file. Hope I can come back to you as things progress (or not).

Thanks MA, knowing what to expect to see in the folders is useful. You mention the various files will be loaded as part of the OScam install (if I've understood you correctly) and files that will need to be edited. I don't anticipate difficulty editing the files, just don't know what to edit and change to what? You mention afn channels. I used to watch those when life was simpler on a closed source box but things appeared to have become complicated with constant changes, so haven't bothered on a linux box, but willing to try!

Had a look at the "How to install an ipk" as your link above. The first USB option is the one I am familiar with. I already have DCC installed on my Windows laptop and have connected to stb previously so have stumbled my way around this program.

When the ipk is installed, what should I expect to see?

Are there further steps like adding or editing some file(s)? I.e. lamedb, config, readers etc. I am really feeling my way in the dark so would like to be prepared.

Thanks.
