I have a Skybox F5s and when I go into my cams menu I enter the biss key's and details but I usually just get audio, no video.

I use the following method below for entering.

For CCcam Constant.cw
2600:000000:7531:012d:1FFF::11 xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx B7 ;League One Rotherham United v Bradford City

I know this method does work as I have been able to get video on Earth TV and ESPN Caribbean on 15 west. It's always when I try and watch football, tennis and golf feeds that I only ever get audio and no picture.

Does anyone know why I just get audio and no video when trying to watch biss feeds?

im not exactly sure but when i posted that Constant.cw format and key from my Dm800SE HD Original box i had tested key and made a screenshot directly from that working line as i dont post without first testing myself .
i dont have a clone Skybox F5 box so obviously cant test and feed has ended since .
i know from experience correct line is ..

2600:000000:SID:PMT:1FFF::CW KEY

BUT if you had another line in your contant.cw file with same or similar SID & PMT Pid then it wont work as this is quite a huge bug with CCcam thats always been present ,
it cannot decode if two lines in constant.cw are similar PMT & SID there can be limited and give no video due to this conflict .
hope that makes some sense ?

alot of encrypted feeds are in 4.2.2 also which would give you audio but no video. when the sid is the same (usually 0001) CCcam will choose the first key in the file. the feeds using B*** are not for DTH viewing and are usually fed into single channel rack receivers at headends/earth stations for contribution or retransmission via sat/dtt and thus dont have the matching sid issue. get yourself a quality box like a TM5402HD ect as it will work with any B*** key as long as its 4.2.0. regards mdt

Thanks guys for the help. I tried deleting all the keys I had saved on the F5s and just entered the key for what I was wanting to watch (Masters golf feed on 10e) and it worked fine so it seems like this may well be the issue.

I have a TBS card so able to watch 4.2.2 feeds via that method so have most things covered now. A 5402 is next on my list, the F5s has it's uses and has a decent tuner but having to search the whole band when blind scanning is annoying.

Fantastic explanation mdt very well said excellent post my friend that is crystal clear its a shame the TM5402 HD is not capable of showing video streams on 4:2:2 Feeds which there are so many nowadays thats where my Dm800SE HD comes in very handy for 4:2:2 feeds since it can stream 4:2:2 feeds via webinterface and VLC player .
cheers ,

And this is one of the reasons I'm trying to get my AZBox premium plus working with biss as a lot of feeds our way are in 4:2:2 and the AZBox is ok with 4:2:2
