    The 576i is the scart standart suitable for old tv. If having new tv full hd or hd ready adjust the AV settings in hdmi and resolution 1080i and picture is always very nice.
    Also set just scale to picture format and no black angles on tv.

    To fix smargos on specific ports you have to load smargos with 1.5 firmware.
    When you compile oscam on Yr pc You have also a small bin called list_smargo. Give this bin chmod 755 and insert the smargos (as much as You want) in Yr pc.
    Run list_smargo and on terminal you have:


    Looking for smartreader with an out endpoint = 0x82 :
    bus 003, device 002 : 0403:6001 Smartreader (Device=003:002 EndPoint=0x82 insert in oscam.server 'Device = Serial:Reader 6CD3C34')
    bus 003, device 003 : 0403:6001 Smartreader (Device=003:003 EndPoint=0x82 insert in oscam.server 'Device = Serial:Reader 3A0E6AB')
    bus 008, device 002 : 0403:6001 Smartreader (Device=008:002 EndPoint=0x82 insert in oscam.server 'Device = Serial:Reader 878FB20')
    bus 008, device 003 : 0403:6001 Smartreader (Device=008:003 EndPoint=0x82 insert in oscam.server 'Device = Serial:Reader C2AC705'


    I.e each smargo has now a serial number of its own.


    In oscam server use this syntax in reader part:


    protocol = smartreader
    device = Serial:Reader C2AC705


    and bind any card you want
    do the rest for other cards and now You have fixed smargos and the cards and they never mix even if on restart or changing them from pc to pc.

    Have solo with motorised dish with usals protocol which works like a charm.
    Those who have problems and put latitude and longitude of their place forget that dish mount has always problems of 0 degree.
    But to solve it is very simple, just add step by step any half degre on longitude more or less the coodinate (suppose longitude is 23.5 east, change 24.0 east or 23.0 and so on) till you correct the mount errors of the dish.
    And this longitude found keep always in mind when install fresh images.

    Oscam check script for ultimo
    1. Make a script like this and ftp to /usr/script where other scripts are for ex oscam_check
    2. Make a cronjob for ex emu restart at a certain time
    3. Go to /etc/bhcron and open files bh.cron and root
    4. Add in both files below the lines a 5 min cron as you do in debian to check cccam or oscam and save files.
    5. Do a hard reset and you will see in oscam.log that script works every 5 min and write log


    #!/bin/sh
    remove_tmp () {
    rm -rf /tmp/*.info* /tmp/*.tmp*
    }
    oscam_rs () {
    killall -9 oscam 2>/dev/null
    sleep 3
    remove_tmp
    /usr/bin/oscam -b
    }


    if ! ps x |grep -v grep |grep -c /usr/bin/oscam >/dev/null
    then
    oscam_rs
    echo `date "+%d/%m/%y %R process was not working"` >> /var/log/oscam_restart_log
    elif
    tail -8 /var/log/oscam.log |grep -v grep |grep -c ins40 >/dev/null
    then
    oscam_rs
    echo `date "+%d/%m/%y %R ins40 error detected"` >> /var/log/oscam_restart_log
    elif
    tail -8 /var/log/oscam.log |grep -v grep |grep -c deadlock >/dev/null
    then
    oscam_rs
    echo `date "+%d/%m/%y %R deadlock error detected"` >> /var/log/oscam_restart_log
    else
    echo "ok"
    fi

    This script has the 2 methods of check:


    #!/bin/bash
    if ! ps x |grep -v grep |grep -c /emu/oscam/oscam.x86 >/dev/null
    then
    oscript start
    echo `date "+%d/%m/%y %R process was not working"` >> /var/log/oscam_restart_log
    # This part above will check if there is NO oscam process running.
    # And if this condition it truth, it will start it and write to log.
    # Log entry will contain time stamp and reason of execution (process not working)
    # If first condition in not truth (oscam was running), go further to next condition.
    elif
    tail -8 /var/log/oscam.log |grep -v grep |grep -c ins40 >/dev/null
    then
    oscript restart
    echo `date "+%d/%m/%y %R ins40 error detected"` >> /var/log/oscam_restart_log
    elif
    tail -8 /var/log/oscam.log |grep -v grep |grep -c deadlock >/dev/null
    then
    oscript restart
    echo `date "+%d/%m/%y %R deadlock error detected"` >> /var/log/oscam_restart_log
    # Those 2 conditions will look for 2 common errors in Oscam: "ins40" and "deadlock"
    # If last 8 lines of your oscam.log contain any of those errors, it will restart oscam.
    # Log entries will include the exact reason of restart.
    # ins40 error is random error that will keep oscam running but no CWs returned.
    # deadlock is older error that appear if you use CCcam protocol in oscam.server
    else
    echo "ok"
    # If oscam passes all conditions and all is OK, it will simply echo "ok"
    fi

    If anyone has a remote controller for any vu and dosen't work on box do the following:
    1 Rc has 2 types of status 0001 for solo, duo and 0002 for uno


    2. pres buttons 2 and 7 on Rc simultanously till Tv bytton lights
    3. pres Help
    4. pres 0001 or 0002 as desired
    5. Tv button flickers for 2 sec
