SKY CARD working on DM800

[x5]

ok this is a very important info for all that have a sky uk card

DM800 is now capable to read sky card from the internal card reader without the need of using NEWCS
tested just now with CCcam2.0.11 works fine and fast zapping :king-041:

load the lasted drivers 10/03/2009 put your card in the slot reboot your dreambox and its read
u can find the drivers here https://www.satpimps.co.uk/showpost.php?p=603904&postcount=2

Great News X5.

Been pulling my hair out getting it to work in CCcam 2 0 11.

Did get it working in NEWCS as you say.

Will load up new drivers tonight & report back my findings.

I am very new to Dreambox though but getting there day by day.
Only had the 800HD a week or so now. Great pictures in the Full HD
i have to say.

cheers

[Phylos]

I'd also be interested in knowing if the NDS3 (Italia) cards can be read via cccam as well.

[loveman]

This is very interesting news. Will give it a try and report back my findings when I've tried later... :)

This box just seems to get better every week:king-041:

[spud]

How do you load latest drivers?

[sonic1]

ftp to tmp and then manual install via addons:respect-050:

[crabber]

Bugger me I may have to buy an 800 now, I hope there is a fix for the new NDS cards when they are released.
Thanks for the info, looks like dreambox still is the box with support.

[Bazza]

I noticed this earlier and thought I'd gone mad. Only had my 800 a week but I'm in love with it already. Wow what a box. Thanks for the info on the drivers x5

[Dice Man]

Anybody want to buy my smargo? :rolleyes:

On a serious note, the smargo reader works fine with my s#y HD card, but it will occasionally lose contact with the card for a few seconds.

So i would be interested in knowing how well s#y cards work in the internal slot with CCcam now - anybody losing their card now & again?

tested for an hour no freeze at all
whats good its the zapping speed very fast
was getting ECM TIME: 0.101 overclocked at 800 mhz

[Dice Man]

So how do i overclock my s#y hd card using CCcam only in the internal reader?

With smargo it was:

SERIAL READER : /dev/usb/tts/0 smartreader+
SMARTCARD CLOCK FREQUENCY: /dev/ttsUSB0 6500000

[Dice Man]

Thanks m8.

You say yours is 800 mhz, so is that: SMARTCARD CLOCK FREQUENCY: /dev/sci0 8000000 ?

[loveman]

Just tried it, and seems to be working great. Didn't even overclock the card, and getting ecms of 0.170 and better...

Excellent work dmm :) Hope there will be no problems with this box/card when **** release the new cards!

[bobothebear]

Yup I can confirm its working really well. I wonder if it will update the card as well. I was having to put my card back in a normal box once a month.

As this was reported I have also just tried gb0x but that still hangs with a SLY card so its back to using mbox and newcs.

[x5]

Thanks m8.

You say yours is 800 mhz, so is that: SMARTCARD CLOCK FREQUENCY: /dev/sci0 8000000 ?

yes m8
but be aware u doing at your own risk
overclock can burn your card if not used properly

[BigDave]

Thanks for the info m8 I will think about buying one now. :D

[sonic1]

Tested and working here also:respect-048:

[Dice Man]

Does anybody know if it updates a s#y hd card...if so i'll swap it over from my smargo.

[rigsby]

Yes, updated & working for me too.

cheers

[Is0tope]

I can confirm cards are updating fine, i put an old expired "freesat" card in and it updated and came back to life :)

[Jono]

ace cheers will try in the morning

Hi

Can someone please point me in the right direction,

I have put in the drivers (ftp ,var tmp, installed file then went to addons and it installed successfully,
downloaded cccam 2.011 full off nab sat ,

Then rebooted dreambox and waited for it to load up again , but I cannot get the Dm800 to read the card.

I must be going wrong somewhere,:willy_nilly:


thanks chris

[Sawdust]

Try restarting CCcam on a FTA channel, then try a pay channel.

[basilyoung]

also make sure the card is "chip down" and sometimes it takes a while for cccam to update the card

Excellent news, I'll put the new bootloader on and brand new drivers and give it a try :)

Thanks again for bringing us great news,

[jake77]

cannot get this to work tried everything I have never tried a sky card in the box from day 1 beginning to think card reader is faulty .
I have installed new drivers in flash as well as usb on nab v9 even installed a fresh image still no joy tried 2 sly cards chip facing down .
When a sly card is working in the slot does info read it or is it still unkown card ???.
Will try m8s dreambox later see if that works
I have installed the drivers to tmp installed succesfuly downloaded fresh image installed ccam v11 rebooted several times black screen no colours

Have you done a hard reboot? Power cable out and then back in?

Worked for me.

[x5]

make sure u have the lasted drivers and also the last SC72r1 https://www.satpimps.co.uk/showpost.php?p=578593&postcount=1
u cant go wrong if u have that installed and also lasted images arround

[jake77]

Thanks for replies did everything latest drivers bootloader image reboots etc
no joy
got another box here now will try that if it works looks like faulty card reader

Finally got it to work wiped everything reflashed also fresh image on usb stick .I have no idea why it would not work before :respect-050:

[canthackit]

already had the drivers installed, just put the card in the slot rebooted cleared almost instantainiously....removed the smargo, Oh well at least i've got a spare usb port.

seems to be working smoothly, card updating as well, see how it goes over the next few day's.

thanks X5 well done mate.

[chris2005]

I am up and running now too. :king-041:

with a bit of help from my friends :respect-050:



Regards Chris

[harshy]

thats great news, I've got it working as well here :)

Has anyone tried it with an official S** Italia card?

[aabs]

BIG thanks X5

Im so glad to get rid of the tuner failed message !!!
I just hope Pat finds Sid now whoever they are :respect-050:

Cheers for the heads up all working here, added the line posted for the internal reader set the clock speed to 3580000 and all go :respect-050:

thanks again x5 for the info

[bluenose50]

i get
card reader/dev/sci0
no or unknown card inserted

installed new driver and rebooted still no luck

[loveman]

If you're using barry allen, ensure you apply the new drivers and the new secondstage 72-r1 loader to both the flash image and the image on usb...

[yesfan]

I have no instruction for any cardreader in my cccam.cfg. Will cccam default to the internal reader or is it necessary to include path/speed info?

[kegnkiwi]

Guys one thing to try and remember for me it was only after a hard reboot ie. pull the plug out without powering down that it all kicked in and worked.

Can't understand why people say they need to do this all the time, as mine worked fine without having to do anything like that. All I needed to do was a reboot of enigma2. It'd saved the settings then...

[yesfan]

tested and working with no cardreader instruction in cccam.cfg, using 2.0.11. Obviously defaults to internal reader.

Might have to add a line for reader speed though. What is the default speed of the internal reader? Dont want to damage card if its too high.

[neil306]

so what would be the settings for smargo overclocking sky hd
thanks
neil

[canthackit]

i've set mine to 6.80 works well in the smargo. or at least when i used the smargo:respect-applause-00

[streetspanic]

I finally managed to update the drivers. However, my NDS3 Sky Italia card does not show in Entitlements ("no or unknown card"). The card is active (I inserted it to my Sky Italia box and it works great).

Any ideas?

[sonic1]

Sky It NDS3 card does not work direct with CCcam and never has done.
The driver update fixed Sky Uk NDS2 cards only.
You need NewCs to view your card but be warned it is very easy to fry them:respect-050:

[x5]

tv cabo N3 card is also working now on DM800 slot
with NEWCS + MBOX
not working with CCcam
need to get myself a smargo reader now for more tests :)

[FENDOCH]

Updated both new drivers and second bootloader files, on flash and image.

No problem, hard restart, put sky card in, and checked entitlements, Sky card shown with all details.

GREAT !!!!!! and THANKS

[usersat]

yes it works !

thnx !

[Dice Man]

Is the card definitely updating in the internal reader with cccam?

Just that the Nat Geo Wild HD didn't open with the card, but from the net only.

Stuck it into the s#y box and it was fine, then back into dm800 - restart -working on card now.

Or, do i just have to do a restart when there has been any updates on the card?

[sonic1]

To see if your card is updating under CCcam check the entitlements with CCcam info.

[uksparx]

Hi I have overclocked my card with this all working fine with low ecms by doing this:-

SMARTCARD CLOCK FREQUENCY: /dev/sci0 6000000

But it seems to be hot when I take the card out is this normal, I do have an internal hard drive in the dm800 as well.

What do I need to check in ccam info to see if the card is updating?

Thanks



Is this normal?

[echelon]

check cccam info entitlements to see if they have updated or not

definitely works ok here with the blue card :)

[rigsby]

Hi.

What are the main reasons to overclock a sky uk card in the internal reader ? Does it provide less freezes on a serv*r ?

Also , i just put mine straight in & works fine but it is quite hot.
I did install the latest driver a couple of weeks ago so that's why it works no problem.

How can the heat be reduced ? Is this also why people overclock.

I can't see any overclock speeds in the ccCam.cfg so would be nice to know what the standard is for the internal reader.

I am fairly new to dreambox so just feeling my way around at the mo but it is a great box.

cheers

[harshy]

I have a laptop cooler sitting under my dm800, if I overclock the intenal reader by a bit, will it fry the s** uk card?

[rigsby]

Hi Harshy

This is what i am worried about aswell.

Don't want to burn my card now.

cheers

[loveman]

A lot of people state they overclock the card to 6.8mhz and have no problems. Best thing to do is to start at something 4.5mhz, see what ecm times you get, and slowly increase the speed, so go to 4.6mhz, and see if you get improved speed times. Keep going until you hardly see any difference in ecm speeds, but go no higher than 6.8...

I know the sky card I used in a proper sky box gets very hot too, and even has brown marks around the chip where it looks like it has burnt the plastic. But still works fine...

[rigsby]

Thanks for the advice Loveman.

Will start low to be safe but i still like to know what that clock speed
is for the internal reader if anyone might know.

cheers

[loveman]

i don't think there is a certain speed... from what i recall reading a while ago, cccam determines what it thinks to be the best speed. whether that be 4.5, 5.4 or 6.8mhz. but for nds, best setting the speed urself...

[rigsby]

Thanks Loveman

Think i will just let it be & not do anything in CCcam. Just let
it decide what is best by itself.

Had no complaints from any of my 12 clients so far.

cheers

[uksparx]

Are you sharing HD or normal sky?

[rigsby]

Hd

[uksparx]

I am sharing HD as well I am using Nabilosat Enigma2 Black Hole - DM800 v0.9
, I have had complaints of High ECMs , when I checked my box I found some channels were skiping I checked the ram in use in info this was at 98% I hard reset the box and everything is working fine now.

Is there a way to set the dm800 to hard reset every night at 4am?

or do I need to enable the swap setting?

[stephen_ireland08]

I installed the new drivers into my Dm 800 and I have no problem reading my Sky Uk hard. I am trying to share my Sky UK card to a Dm 500 in another room in my house but I can't get the box to receive the card.
Maybe someone can tell me if it is possible to share the card with these new drivers or is it just for the purpose of reading the card?

Depends on the image you're using as to how easy this will be...

If you're using gemini image, they have a cron program built into the image. All you need to do is create a restart shell script, and then get it to run using the built in cron manager...

Otherwise, you could install the cron manager by gutemine, and that should do the job :)
