setting up protek 9600ip as a client

[slippy05]

Hi is it possible to set up the protek 9600ip as a client?

Basically i have a dreambox 500s (clone) and a sly subscription downstairs + a protek9600ip

Is it possible to set up the protek as a client, share my sly subscription with my dreambox 500s, and then be able to watch sly channles on my dreambox in a different room?

I did a google search but nothing came up...

Thanks

it will run as a client via newcamd but you need the old borisT software from 2009 i think as the later versions dont work anymore. my advice would be ditch the 9600ip and get another 500s for about £45. regards mdt

Thanks mate

My protek is quite old, 2009 sounds about right for when i purchased it, how do i know which software its running?

Also how hard is all this to do? Im not that experienced with setting up boxes etc

but if i can save the £10 per month for paying sky for multi-room it might be worth a shot.....

another guy advised that i could do it with this box:

100% Tested Linux HD PVR DVB-S2 500 FTA DIGITAL Satellite Receiver & Remote | eBay

plus my dreambox 500s (and my sky+ box)

is the above box ok, it seems to be pvr +HD so effectively i would be able to record sky programs and also watch freeview HD channels in my bedroom?
