    Think its kind of Horses for Course mate!


    Although i believe the Omnikey is a bit better with the Range of Cards it reads but don't quote me on that!
    Some say Ecm times are a bit lower with Omnikey but i havent had any need to worry! (Little trick for ECM times use a powered USB hub as it decrease the times)


    I brought Smargo and Omnikey and opened Smargo 1st!


    Never had a need to change it so far.....using *** uk


    Just my opinion of course


    :80:

    Have you downloaded and ran the OscamCccam install script also?


    See post below as all bits in there should get your oscam and Cccam up and running!


    http://linuxsat-support.com/li…-installation-ubuntu.html


    Read through the pages for any problems you may encounter


    Have a look at this thread also


    http://linuxsat-support.com/os…6-oscam-cccam-server.html


    You will find a link in there for your configs depending on the card you wish to read


    You can start oscam in terminal window by


    cd to the folder that oscam is in. usually /usr/local/bin
    then type ./oscam -b


    Few Linux commands you many use


    ls (lists directory your in)
    cd /directory (located to directories using cd/ ) go back cd ..
    nano (using this will open the file with basic editor


    cp /tmp/thisfile.txt /newdirectory (cp copies files make sure you enter folder format for current and new areas)

    Have a look here for info on Oscam


    http://linuxsat-support.com/view.php?pg=oscamwiki

    Maza,


    It would help if we knew a bit more info mate!


    What Linux OS are you using (Ubuntu, Debian)


    What card reader have you got (Smargo, Omnikey)


    Did you run an auto install script from the forum?



    You can access oscam via webif using the static ip address you have chosen and your port number assigned in config files!


    e.g 192.1.1.1.1:8888 (8888 being the default settting for all/most scripts)


    The more info we have the easier we can help mate!

    Davus,


    Once the file is in tmp folder (temp file is in volatile/tmp on Pli based images...)


    You should be able to access the local extensions from your box!


    Will be Menu - Setup - Local Extensions or something like that as i dont use pli images? but look for Install local extensions/plugins


    You should be able to select the file you want, (may have to choose external or internal HD to locate, but it should find it??)


    Run the extension setup - reboot box and it should be installed mate

    Davus,


    Easiest way is through TSPanel, Just double check you have downloaded through Linuxsat addons group and of course internet connection :)


    Failing that download the file which you have already and ftp it to tmp folder on your box and then install through your menu (local extensions)

    James my friend my feeling is it could be something else wrong when it blew up!


    Try formating usb as fat32 in windows just in case but the problem could lie else where


    Fingers crossed

    Not a very talkative person on the phone my friend sorry :(


    Post your info here, we are all friends and it will make it clearer to decipher!


    Will also help anyone else who has the same kind of problem,


    We will get you there mate don't worry

    No it shouldnt be for that price? :)


    Just try the following steps,


    Format USB Fat32
    Add the bootloader to that in the file/folder format
    Plug in and switch on VU (Ensure Duo screen says 'reading usb' and then flicks to 'remove and reboot'


    Did you have an image on prior? if not load an image onto it
    Download image from forum and add that to usb (remove bootloader) in file/folder format
    Plug into duo and switch on ' you should get again reading from usb and then remove and reboot!
    remove and reboot and image should load up!


    Stupid but have to ask! Your connection to you TV is ok? HDMI plugged in e.t.c may be worth a double check!

    James20,


    Shouldnt really post here mate as this is just for plugin updates e.t.c!


    But in answer to your question have a look here


    http://linuxsat-support.com/showthread.php?t=7769


    Steps are the same as flashing an image but it should be all in there for you to follow!


    Ps Just drop a quick introduction before anyone pulls you up on it!


    If you want to start a thread/ask a question go to the relevent topic area e.g Vu Addons, Bootloaders .e.t.c and post a thread there!


    hope this helps anyway!


    Beat me Master G :)

    Could possible try here mate,


    http://www.shareyoutubemp3.com/


    Failing that basically you have a couple of options


    Try and download the track/album you want through various sites (at least that way you can do as you wish with the files)


    Copy the Youtube address/link into a Youtube converter (look in google Youtube to avi or mp4 converter)


    Hopefully if someone else has a tried and tested method they will pop up soon!

    Campbell,


    Probably should of stated that just to save on confusion lol :)


    I wont go over the ins and outs of clones e.t.c as i am yet to find a company in the UK (even Europe) that actually makes and builds these components/boxes themselves from scratch (all in house)


    i actually brought a apparent 'Orginal' only to find a Quality Control slip in Chinese so you make your assumptions on that?


    In answer to the actual question i supposed you could look at the following


    Sub £100


    ***/Open boxes s11,s12 F3 (F3 looks best as has more components/faster processor on back but is new, S11 is more stable)
    You will be limited to GUI on these, EPG and Recording available but dont expect anything fancy although F3 UI looks ok.


    Eaglebox - Through our site sponsor SAT-SHOP.CO.UK (Basic box but you are also buying piece of mind as support e.t.c will be there)


    Just Over £100 - £150
    Then your into


    Dreamboxes - Very popular, (i dont have one) but i think in general more can be done/added to these then the cheaper boxes, loads of support


    Gigablue - Well supported more funcionality, nice box e.t.c


    VU Duo - Not much more you can add on the VU range, (However this is in the list as the Clone Price not the as an Original Supplied by UK e.t.c prob £50-£100 more)


    So the question now probably is, what sort of functionality does he want, is he bothered e.t.c?


    Have fun choosing
