    Is there a better lamedb than the one I posted?

    I noticed some errors in it.

    I also noticed some errors on lyngsat.

    Flysat seems the most up to date.


    For example, the channel Deluxe Rock on 19.2E.

    On Lyngsat the SID is, 10553.

    On Flysat it is 10606, which is correct.

    That's not really what I am after, but thanks.

    I don't use e2, but I have also been looking at lamedb files as a possible source for renaming my channels.

    This one seems like it renames channels how I like (adding regional info) and I will use it for the time being.

    Are there any sources for satellite data, like lyngsat, preferably in json?


    I'm mainly interested in the channel naming they use and want to apply those names in my setup.

    For example, the German “Comedy Central” channel is labelled as “Comedy Central Deutschland”.

    I don't know if this is a card or reader limitation, either way it clears perfectly.

    Thanks for sharing.

    Would you mind attaching your oscam.conf file, so I can compare if there's any important difference?

    My card has ecm times like this:

    I don't know if this is a card or reader limitation, either way it clears perfectly.

    Sorry for the late reply, but I can't really help.


    I have a different, but similar issue.

    Sometimes my card or reader bugs out, and I have to unplug/replug the USB reader for it to work again.

    It doesn't happen often, but it has happened a few times.

    I don't know if it's a reader or card issue.

    Either way, I found this post which lets you virtually unplug/replug a USB device.


    Out of curiosity, what card do you have?

    The intended footprint and the actual footprint are two different things.

    Just because you are not inside the intended footprint doesn't mean there is no possibility of getting it.

    Often they cover a larger area, but you will need a bigger dish the further away you are.

    There are reports of people in the UK that can receive MENA beams with 2-3m dishes.

    If you already have a pi then buying a cheap USB DVB-s tuner is a good option.

    There is a cheap USB DVB-S tuner floating around on AliExpress etc, no experience with it though (HD star).

    Kodi is the only viable frontend I know of (LibreELEC/OSMC)


    If you're buying everything from scratch, it's likely gonna cost more, like Jensen says.

    This is my working reader config:

    I was never able to update the firmware/modify settings.

    If you are trying to generate MAC addresses, you could do something like this in Python.


    Code
    import itertools
    
    macs = []
    
    for x, y, z in itertools.product(range(256), range(256), range(256)):
        macs.append(f"00:1a:79:{x:02x}:{y:02x}:{z:02x}")
    
    with open("macs.txt", "w") as file:
        file.write('\n'.join(macs) + '\n')

    This generates every possible MAC starting with "00:1a:79" which is the most common (MAG boxes)


    The forum wouldn't let me attach the output file.
