Minor update.

Finally moved into the new house, and bought a used plastic dish (Luxor 120cm ish), pointed at 28.5E at my location (in Denmark) Im able to get really good reception on the UK channels 80+% signal & quality using a cheap "opticum" LNB. Although sadly the reception dies out at about 20-21.00 in the evening (I've read other experience that).

But I'm REALLY surprised how well this very old dish performs.
I've ordered some other LNB's to try out, if it will give me a bit more time in the evenings ( Inverto Black Ultra and a DUR-Line +ultra).

I can even see in TVheadend when trying out the astra 4k channel, that I pull about 32000 kbps down, which I'm quite impressed by.

When using sketchy services such as a ccCam service you can buy online, would you recommend using VPN?

I would not recommend using a sketchy service at all...period

Pay servers and all thing affiliated with them are what kills our hobby...so stay away from them

You need to do a bit of a catch up reading wise on all the emulators.

Oh I did not know that.
Could you recommend some topics/guides to read?

Quote from el birnn

Well..oscam is a emulator with a lot of purposes (illegal cardsharing being one of them). However it can also be used for a variety of other things. I e if you have a local card that you want to share with other stbś in your household internally. It also can handle different encoding systems such as powervu,biss etc etc. Those need softcam keys which you can find all over the net. So there is nothing illegal in setting it up to do just that. Read the guide and give it a go. Depending on your setup you will be able descramble a lot of channels without having to get into cardsharing. Have a look in the softkey file to see which channels (and on which satelite) are on offer

Wow thanks! I tried google'ing "what is oscam" ect, all I got from it was the sharing of keys, either inhouse or via a vpn.
So I see a lot of ccCam? What is the difference then?

When using sketchy services such as a ccCam service you can buy online, would you recommend using VPN?
I see some stating that their service inclued AES256 encryption, can you trust that they use encryption?

Could you guys dumb down how the Oscam (e.g. 27,5 west guide) works?

In my understanding, it's a plugin on the setupbox, that allows you to pull "keys" from a location which you determine (such as a payed cardsharing service) or am I wrong?

You can point a 80 cm dish at 27.5 west,install oscam with biss codes,and get the main uk channels (bbc1 and 2,itv,channel 4 and 5)

They are all hd channels and the biss codes havent changed for ages. I have that here in Gedser and it works a charm. From 28.8 east i can get all the sky channels(sports,movies etc) but the main channels doesnt lock on the receiver. You will need a sly box in order to have those channels cleared.

There is a thread here somewhere that will show you how to set it all up

Held og lykke

Thanks for the heads up!
Would you recommend using VPN along when using oscam?

Not at all. The biss encoding is taken care of by the softkey files you also find here. Vpn is however required if you want to stream the main uk channels via plugins. the iptv plugin you also find here has 2 connections towards uk main tv..Filmon being one of them will run without vpn,tvplayer do require vpn as you need to login. Same goes for bbc iplayer,itv catchup and the channel4 catchup. There are different setups for installing vpn on e2 boxes..again all can be found here. I installed the nordvpn connector v0.3 and it does the trick here.

Alright thanks. Just always though cardsharing was easy to detect?

Yes i see sorry to see that but thats how they protect the free channels from us outsiders

so lets blame Brexit for that also ;)

But did not those guys get to work?

Denmark is a small country so maybe try and get in contact with them?

Yeah, they've got it working with a 1.8m channel masters :P Which I do not posses the money for at the moment.
Oh well, luckily I'm moving to a farm soon, where I can setup whatever I'd like ^^.

Found this site about FTA UK channels recived in Denmark

http://ullits.dk/digsat.htm

Yeah, unfortuenately they describe it quite well :unhappy::
Note: see above in Danish - since 2013 it's almost impossible to see British TV in Denmark via FTA satellite

Quote from jenseneverest

I have not tried it myself, But it is my understanding that it will work with a modification to the lnb and its holder (for KU reception)

What 2.4m dish did you have in mind ?

A no-brand chinese one, one of those in 6 pieces. nothing special.
Best would of course be a god Gilbertini or Channelmasters, but they're easily 4-5 times more expensive.

Quote from seagen

The main diffrence between a C band dish and an KU band dish is how they look and how they focus the beam.

C-Band is an old system where the waves ar long and low quality so therfore the Dish is large and have a center focus.

Ku-Band is new system have stronger signal since its waves are short and therfor can be used with an Offset dish.

In theori you can use an center focus dish to recive KU band freq but you need a special adapted LNB

There are some combi LNB that handles both bands but the work better in an 90cm offset dish.

So save the money and dont buy that old dish its better you find an 120 Offset dish.

And i am pretty sure you find a Triax dealer in Denmark.

I've tried with a 120 cm dish, yet I cannot get enough reception ( approx 35-40%) due to the narrow beam.
They recommend +190 cm dish to get enough db from the signal to receive UK free sat in DK.

Please check this map here:
I'm around 35dbw
Recommended: Dish size: 3.0m, 48.7dBi.
Reasonable SNR: Dish size: 1.97m, 45.0dBi.
Budget SNR: Dish size: 1.4m, 42.0dBi.

Hi.

I live in Denmark, and want to receive 28.2 Astra FTA UK channels, although it's almost impossible due to them using a narrow beam satellite.
Could I buy a 240cm C band dish and attach a KU band LNB?
It's unfortunately easier to buy a big 240 cm dish ( as it's able to be packed down ) compared to a 150cm Gilbertini due to the shipping.

Anyone with experience regarding this type of usage of a C band dish?

Okey then i get why you dont understand Swedish :)

Well i am pretty good at Swenglish so thats what you get from me ;)

But back to your question about Boxer.

Boxer use Viaccess and thoose modules is har to get ot work in all Enigma2 Boxes

But i have seen some plugin that claimes it will work and thats for DM so my choice would to first

check with people in the DM Section OE 2.5 and see if you can get some help there

But if you dont need 2 Ci+ Mudule slots you can save good money and go for the DM900UHD

You have Vu+ that makes very good STB´s for less money then a Dreambox and just as good

And if by any chance are living close to Strömstad Sweden you have a good store named Nordby Digital AB"

They have lots of stuff and really good prices

I think I might in some rare occasions need to two slots.
Alright, I'll report back once I've moved and is all set up and ready to buy a box.

Meanwhile thanks :)

Quote from seagen

Okey but its almost dead because we dont use it everyone has the same thinking like you ;)

But okey we can take it here if thats what you want :)

The reason i was guessing you where Swedish was because that you used Boxer cable provider

and i assumed they only operate in Scandinavia?

You're right, I live somewhere in Scandinavia :-)
But my maternal language is English, I only understand using google translate :-)

Open up a thread in the Nordic section

Then we can taki it in our language ;)

And are a lot to read there also.

I'd prefer to keep it here, as I do not speak Swedish, and that part of the forum seems to be mostly dead :-)

So, what other box would you recommend that can do the job needed?

Requirement:
1x dvb t2
1x dvb s2
share signal via local area network to Android TV

:thumbup:

Quote from seagen

We have our own Nordic section here at Linuxsat just scroll down the site and you find it.

Hello we have our own little corner here on Linuxsat if you scroll down on the main page you will find it.

There you can ask questions in Svenska so it is easier to help :)

Just short about DM920UHD.

Is a good satellite box with lots of power but you pay a lot of money for something you can get better

at a lower price.

Boxer does not work in the Dreambox without the help of some third-party plugins

But let's take that thing in the Nordic corner :)

Hi Seagen,

Thanks for the tip, did not notice that :-)!

With that receiver you can do EVERYTHIJNG!

Glad to hear that! Just need to find the correct combination of input which suits my needs.

Hi.

I will be moving to a new house soon.

My current setup is imho. perfect using Nvidia Shields around the house and a HDHomerhun as network tuner.
I love the shields as I use Netflix, Plex, YouTube, Twitch and all those apps a lot.

My new house do not have DVB-C signal unfortunately, but DVB-T2 (encrypted with a CI+ card), known as BoxerTV.
I fell over the DM920, and it REALLY looks interesting!

Will the DM920 be able to share the DVB-T2 signal across my lan, and then using the Dream Player App on my android Tv, be able to stream this? (including the encrypted channels if i include the card)
(I'm okay with the limited amount of continuous streams/recordings due to limitations of card/tuner)

I also like the idea that I can connect my old satellite dish and catch some FTA European channels alongside.

I'm mostly looking for convenience. The box will be placed in the addict with the rest of the server equipment.

Have i misunderstood the capabilities of this box, or will this work?

Cheers!
