You will need to FTP to your box to be able to transfer files to it. For this you will need an FTP Program (http://www.digital-kaos.co.uk/forums/downloads.php?do=file&id=84) and a crossover ethernet cable. It's best if you can connect the box to your router as it's easier that way.

In the files that you downloaded, copy the contents of the keys folder to the /var/keys folder on your box. Copy the contents of the scce folder to the /var/scce folder on your box. Go to sky sports 1 and hold down the INFO button until the EMU manager comes up, press OK and it will restart the EMU. Wait and the channel should come on...that's it. :)

thanks devilfish

re crossover cables, is there a specific type needed?! best to order online or can they be bought in Currys or Dixons? hoping to buy one 2moro, sunday

Currys and Dixon won't have a crossover cable but you might have more luck at your loacal Maplins store.

Thanks. Got cable and files ftpd

Can't get channels through though. How long should I hold down info button? What should I see?

It only takes a few seconds. If you've transferred the keys and scce files to the respective folders then you can also go to sky sports 1 then reboot the box using the shutdown menu, this will also restart the emu when it reboots.

open the var folder
inside there will be the keys folder.
and a scce folder


put the keys in keys
and the scce in scce folder

just replace the folders with the ones your transfering.

Pretty sure that's what we did

Appreciate the help guys

Copy the files over, go to sky sports 1 and reboot the box from the shutdown menu (Menu > Shutdown > reboot now)

If I remember correctly you dont have cable and only the free sky channels.

if this is the case then you need to do a search on google for "cccam pay server"

hi Max. What's that server do?

[krazylegz]

if max is correct and you dont have cable but have a sky feed coming into the house, but you currently dont pay for skys services then you will have to do as max suggests.

we dont allow cardshare talk on here so you will have to google for more specific info, but basicly you pay a small amount to someone elses card with the keys being sent via the internet, your box needs to be connected to the net 24/7.

I have just had sky installed. Should I retry OM once card is activated?

[Devilfish]

The keys in the cable sections won't work with sky.

Would have been good if you said you were working with sky from the start.

apologies. Are there satellite keys I can use?

[krazylegz]

no because sky is not hacked.

personally i dont see what you're trying to acheive here?

if you've just had sky installed you will get a box off them which in all honesty will be better for it because of its superior epg, the openmedia will only show you now and next.
