i have that box unchecked, i have a usb adapter goin into the null modem cable from laptop to dreambox, laptop is wireless and i can c the laptop and router in dcc but just cant lodin to db, any more suggestions as its really wreckin my head and prob yours also...

as far as im aware you cant login to anything with the null, if you can ive never managed it.

in dreamup for example you just tick the lead box and dont need a login but if you do it via ethernet then you do need the login.


i think you need to start a fresh and tell us what connected to what, whether your using a router and whether the dreambox is connected via ethernet to the router or just from pc to dream via null lead.

ive read through this and im still non the wiser to what your setup is and for us to help you -you need to help us.

from what ive just read in your last post it seems your trying to login to a software with a usb to null cable adaptor and null lead. and ive never had to login to anything using the null, only time ive needed to login is over network with the ethernet.

I was gonna start rambling on from the start using Dreamup e.t.c.

so instead, please read the stickies here m8, i am sure if you take it step by step you will find your answers.

Once you have excited the stickies, and you have still got no luck, please get back , sometimes a simple step gets missed , we have all done it m8.

you will get it sorted...

OK...now that you're conencted to the box, let's get it sorted.

Navigate to the /var/keys folder. Right click on the camd_cfg file and select edit.


Find this text...

# AU
#    00 is ignored (default)
#    01 enable AU
#    02 AU Auto
A: { 01 }

...and change the last line to look like this...

A: { 00 }

Save file and close it.

Depending on which area you are in, download on of these files...

Extract it and copy the keylist.txt file to the /var/keys folder on your dreambox.

Restart the emu and go to a premium channel. Hopefully it should clear.

To restart the emu, there's usually an option in the blue button menu.

You should be able to do a factory reset and it will be as if it's just been flashed. Just remember to set your ip addresses up again. Your services and bouquets will also be lost. So if you have a backup image with all your settings, you might be better flashing that again if you can't remember how to set everything up.

i flashed it with dw 2 and i think it went ok, i changed back the ip address, i scanned and locked onto a transponder and am waiting on it to scan, the ber was a huge number, whats that mean? what do i need to do,also how do i upload more emu's?, sorry 4 been a total novice...

[Devilfish]

If you connect your dreambox to a router you'll be able to download them using the BLUE > ADDONS menu.

I would leave DHCP ticked in the network settings, connect the dreambox to the router with an ethernet cable (crossed or patch, doesn't matter) and reboot the box, should be sorted from there.

If you can't connect it to the router, let me know, I'll upload some.

That image comes with evocamd_2.12 which in my opinion is the best emu to use so you should be ok without installing another emu.

BER - Bit Error Rate - The amount of noise in your feed. Ideally this needs to be as low as possible, 0 in fact, but values of < 40 are ok.

an update, it scanned but only found free to air stations but i cant see any pic, it found about 2o stations and i only have evo cam 2.12, what do i need to do HELP...

[Digger]

its a bit of hasel to conect to the router, wud apprecaite if you cud upload for me, how can i start to c all the stations and do i need to input that new code inti the key file... thanx

[Devilfish]

Ok if you don't want to connect to a router, how are you connecting to the dreambox? Laptop and crossover cable?

If you can successfully ftp to the dreambox, do as I suggested in post #21 of this thread.

[Digger]

i did as u said in thread 21 and i got all the stations epg's comin in now but only have pic on the free to air stations, i went into tux command and changed the keylist but not gettin pic on the others, any ideas...

Go to sky sports 1, press BLUE then OK.

See if that helps.
