    Only for DM500


    Flash this image via serial/null cable the same way would flash a normal image via dreamup


    This image is great for boxes with corrupted bootloaders/bricked or boxes that are unstable which is usually due to rogue software that corrupts your box...once flashed reset everything and flash your fresh image of choice...

    Which image did you write to the dreambox? there is a lot of rogue software out there for dm500 receivers so the box could be bricked...depending which image you used serial might not even be an option meaning it would require jtagging to recover the bootloader...try with serial tho as it mostly resurrects these boxes..


    I would put the erase image on tho first...i,ll upload it shortly..

    hi mate u mean ftpbrowser? am i missing something do you mean from satellite receiver plugins? i cannot find in there, until i looked again sorry, found it lol


    downloaded file browser installed package but still carnt find tsmedia panel, do i select this via plugins?


    tsmedia you will find in the tspanel under addons...select a source and you will find tsmedia under plugins

    Glad you got it going but you confused the **** outta me mate and i suspect a few others but maybe i read your post wrong...mgcamd nlines??....nlines always above clines in cccam...MGCAMD LINES IN NEWCAMD.LIST...priority lines at the top especially newcamd lines



    Your main issue was how you were using cccam lines in the first place as you probably dont understand how cccam works...although it is now unsupported it had a weird and wonderful and i admit a crazy way of dealing with requests....


    For example!!!..from your provider cccam server this will be happening at their end....





    hop1//server..peers..glitch...


    when this happens... server,, goes to next fastest peer..handling the request...


    cccam dosent distinguish... between hops... after locals... just the fastest timing...


    so if you have a hop3 peer..with a faster ping..ecm time.. then cccam will jump there..instead of taking a slow hop2...


    this..dosent say the hop3..peer is better..or the hop 2 peer worse...it just says..at the time your hop1 peer.. glitched.. the hop3 peer..was the fastest to handle the request..


    u can trick cccam a bit... by the way you setup your cfg... as cccam does read..right to left...up ...and down...odd and thank god for newcamd!!!!this is why cccam is is dying a slow death...


    You can filter out packages matey but you should not have to with your setup...Try your newcamd packages at the top of your cccam cfg....i,m just sugesting this as you could lose certain channels on 28.2 that your newcamd client does not supply...


    Cheers

    Youngie you have a 90 cm dish so stick to 13/16/19.2/28.2/23.5/1 west...forget the rest mate with a 90 cm dish and forget catseyes list tbh...use vhannibles settings....most people including myself use bbc world news on thor (0.8) west to get thor as its a strong signal and also ftv... Tip...use goto 0...this will take your dish to 0 degrees...first select bbc world news and wait for your dish to get there...if it does not receive the channel use go to 0...then as said make sure a transponder is there and if not select another channel on 1west but bbc world news should be fine///go to 0 is very close to 1 west (thor) ///then go into posistioner setup and select what satellite you have saved thor on and FINE TUNE west until thor locks and peak iN..then store...then you select and save other sats selecting where you have stored your sats......ie 001/thor //28.2 002 //13 e 003 and so on//use posistioner after this and save each sat........


    If you paid some dude 55 notes then what exactly did he do mate...get him back out if you feel there is a problem.....i assume you have fixed brackets? dont worry about this too much mate as you are only targetting a few satellites on a short scope with your 90 cm dish...your engineer was mostly there to check los/motor setup and dish/scew alignment..if he aint done that then ask for a callback...


    downside it is essential to peak the dish on thor but he aint gonna get 42 east to 30 west on his dish in the uk mate so this is a basic setup!!!!


    Interesting too youngie...you persist in referring towards me as lee? which i clocked in your first reply here!!!! dont you mean Mr Lee? take it we know one another from old....Manny!!!


    :) hello mate

    You can use a backup image but you will still have to mess with settings and store sats..



    You need to make sure your tuner is setup first mate...motorised...you will need a channel list as mentioned..i use vhannibles settings but catseyes settings are good so its your choice which lists you use..


    Then you will need to save each satellite in tuner setup..once you have picked your satellite ie 19.2 scroll down..diseqc 1.2 then at the bottom you should see (use usals)...select no then save that sat as say 001..go back to the top and select another sat and do the same for all others that you think you can receive and save as 002/003 and so on..when all sats are saved and when you select a channel on a foreign sat it will probably not find it..so you will need to go into posistioner setup and move the dish east or west via your remote control untill you get a lock..then store it ...green button...you will have to do this with all your satellites even if it finds them to ensure they are set..and because you are not using usals you will probably have to go back in now and again to tweak your sats.


    Good luck

    Mate if your still stuck try this..download this patched version of http://linuxsat-support.com/dr…ersion-forhike-natas.html


    Then download open pli http://linuxsat-support.com/dm…ge%3Dopen-pli-2-01-a.html


    Connect box to pc/laptop via null modem cable only and make sure network is unticked...so com1 or whatever serial port you are using//then click connect/then switch on dreambox..if all goes well it should say dm800 detected and the flash button on the right should be there for you to click...


    1:Click flash button and select 84b bootlader included and it should flash it in a few seconds..
    2:when bootloader is done click flash again and then select the actual image..this will probably take around an hour so get some lunch...
    3: when image is finally flashed for good measure click flash again and write the same bootloader again...when done click disconnect...unplug power from dreambox...wait 30 seconds then apply power..
    4:eat lunch and hopefully watch some tele.....


    I think your bootloader is probably corrupted which is not allowing your image to go on so follow my steps above...


    MAKE SURE if its a laptop it does not go into sleep/standby while flashing as you could really blow the boxes brains out..also make the null modem lead is secure and no chance of being tripped over..


    Cheers


    Good Luck!!!

    Thats complete nonsense for someone to suggest to you that if you find thor then the rest will fall into place..thor is the correct satellite to peak your dish on tho that is correct but you can get away with alignment on 19 east with a bit of fiddling in the uk if thor is not possible due to (los)..i install and re-align motorised dishes all the time and there is many reasons why motorised dishes dont work when i arrive at the premises to diagnose a fault...i wont go into them all as you have someone calling tomorrow to sort your dish but here is a few reasons why people with a similar fault to yours struggle with other satellites..


    Thor sat ok...why dont others work


    Fixed bracketry...all wrong..fixed brackets are for basically for fixed satellites..t+k brackets must be installed because you cant adjust your pole with fixed brackets to have it bang on straight..it has to be straight for best performance from your dish as the other satellites are on an arc..


    LOS(line of sight) just because some people can receive thor does not mean you will receive other satellites as they could be blocked by trees or buildings etc(i use ar dishpointer pro on my iphone) to see what sats are clear from exact mounting point.


    Elevation/latitude settings on the actual motor all wrong...these must be adjusted correctly for your location..


    Usals turned on with poorly aligned dish/bracketry/lnb scew and or wrong longitute and latitude entered on the receiver


    There are more reasons let me tell you but i,m sure your engineer will sort things out for you tomorrow:)


    I dont watch much EPL football but if i did i would not miss much for the next month anyway as i have just checked on liveonsat..a lot of these matches are on various packages across europe tho ranging from poland to spain..


    Good luck

    I have been given permission to upload sattv5,s lists here...these lists are updated regularly so i will update them for the member if he cant manage to call in!

    Another good tool for no ca error on dm800 boxes.



    For null modem lead serial repairs NOT network flashing.


    Sorry i am a little muddled up with my own post now lolz...


    Just to confirm...you have 2 lines... 1 is an Nline for 28.2 which you are running in Mgcamd...if so where in your box is that line located == usr/keys?


    And a 2nd line (cline) for euro sats located in CCcam.cfg

    I think your best option is to convert your sly CWS Line to an Nline and run both in CCcam....example below


    CWS = jimmy.ignorelist.com 18000 user pass 01 02 03 04 05 06 07 08 09 10 11 12 13 14 wan newcs # sly line


    convert the above line with your details to (the line below) and enter it into your cccam.cfg ABOVE! your euro cline line..


    N: jimmy.ignorelist.com 18000 user pass 01 02 03 04 05 06 07 08 09 10 11 12 13 14 #SLy line


    Alternatively you could try running your cline in cccamd.list.////usr/keys



    The problem you were having with your sly line in mgcamd was probably config related...ie


    # box type
    # 00 autodetect, change only if you think wrong type detected.
    # 01 dbox2
    # 02 dreambox
    # 03 triple-dragon
    # 04 relook
    # 05 openbox
    # 06 dreambox/mips
    # 08 stapi/kathrein
    # 09 stapi/ipbox
    # 10 stapi/openbox
    # 11 enigma/ipbox
    # 12 octagon
    B: { 00 } ( should be B: { 06 } with enigma 2 boxes)


    I much prefer mgcamd so you could try the above and report back your findings..


    MK


    Edit are you using an Nline for as you say your local server in mgcamd? this really should be a CWS line in newcamd.list

    Ye you should be able to with vlc although if its for example a divx file thats on your hdd then it might be better to stick it on a usb pen and put it into 1 of your solos usb ports.

    how does one suppose a forum manages to save your pms in firstplace? Perhaps they are stored in morse code that can only be decoded by budgie with 1 eye


    all you tyrannical pms are stored in plaintxt in the database and can be read anytime someone so happens to steal sql "again"


    So chin up


    How does one sleep at night...perhaps forum administrators are not all scumbags like yourself who reads private messages and then denies it!!!


    The reading of private messages does not bother me tbh...what i want to know is why you are still hacking forums??? are you that sad because you could not run your own forum properly!!!!

    Ok just made intro. Im on latest vix and have usb mounted as hdd as can record and set up swap manager plus store epg on it etc just does not auto start even with autostart ticked so maybe easier to put in cron


    I cannot comment on vix software as i do not use it but i can confirm swap file works very well with latest bh images...
