Hi
I just bought a dreambox 500s today.
I am tottaly confused ..

The company i got it from preloaded ccam on the box, and i've uploaded via ftp the softcam.key to var/keys/

What do I need to do to get this working so the keys decrypts and I can watch digitv?

Thanks

thanks, I just noticed that.

have a question though..

i just got dreambox 500s today, so far i figured out you need an up-to-date image (i'm using gemini), and up-to-date CAM emu... i've installed mgcamd, ccam, and camd.

i've uploaded the key files to /var/keys ...

----
once i did that, i pressed blue button and went into auto-camd setup, and assigned provider -> mgcamd

**does this mean that mgcamd or ccam, or camd will process the de-authentication of encrypted channels using the keys in the keyfile?
----

thanks

Assigning a provider means that whenever a channel from that provider is selected for viewing the dreambox will check to see if that softcam is being used. If it isn't it will stop the softcam in use and start the softcam that is assigned.

Hypothetical Example:
You have MGcamD assigned to say TPS, but you are watching ABSat using CCCam. When you select a TPS Channel the dreambox will stop CCCam and start MGcamD as you have told it that's the softcam you want to use for watching TPS.

Hope that's a bit clearwer mate.

i have a few questions

1) what channel list editor do you guys recommend?
2) for softcam.key to work and decode the channels do i have to assign all provider IDs in auto-camd setup screen?
3) i have many providers on the satellite im tuned into, how can i merge all of the channels from everyprovider into one list so i dont have to go back-n-forth between providers?

few misc question:

1) ccam centre / how do i access it?
2) i installed weather addon, how do i access it?
3) is there a way to have the softcam.key automatically be downloaded and updated when a new softcam.key is posted online?

thanks!
