hey Tony!

while we are on the subject, do you mind me asking what method you use for updating your entitlements? (cccam / ascam stuff...)

just curious , as I'm getting mine updated, buts a very manual method....

Hi,

I have cccam 2.1.4 on its own on my DB, and this is working keeping entitlements up to date, mine are currently due to run out 11th Aug 2011. However for the entitlements to be kept fresh, your db needs a sat feed - mine is permanently connected.

HTH

thanks Tony,

I'll try that out, i'm using:

CCcam_2.1.2 & newCS1.6

db connect to dish all the time but no updates.

i'n not even sure why one would use CCcam & newCS together instead of CCcam on its own?!?!?

who cares, as long as it works eh? i'll give 2.1.4 a go...

I think the only thing was, that I had to manually copy across the 2.1.4 executable at the time, as it wasn't in the list of software available (at the time), hopefully they've rectified this. I hear there is also a 2.2 version out, but the DB is one item, that I rarely touch.

Hopefully between us, we can sort any issues that may arise - I know I've probably seen most of them already

I've only just got my dreambox up today and there doesn't appear to be an image on it!!
any pointers on tools (dream-up etc) and which image plays nice with WMC/tvsource.
cheers

[milli260876]

someone going to throw me a bone here? best image? where to dl? where to get tools such as dreamup??
seen a lot via Google but would like the opinion of folk off here who are using it as I plan to!!

Hi milli.

I meant to post last night but got caught up in other stuff..

I'll write a fuller post with links later if nobody else jumps in.

I'm running pli jade on the dm500.

So I've uploaded the stuff that I used to my Skydrive:

https://skydrive.live.com/?cid=b9f43836 ... 47F%211214#

Feel free to ask questions on how to go about things!

It would make a great wiki article and I might go through the whole setup process myself sometime in order to document it.

It's been a long time since I've done it so there's bound to be small steps that I've completely forgotten about!

[milli260876]

nice one mate!

not sure i can resist the temptation to put on a newer PLI jade image as thats got 2009 on.. surely some improvements since then??

[holidayboy]

I think that the 2009 image is still the latest for the dm500 box, I think that other dm units do have newer builds available.

Once the dreambox is up and running you don't ever need to touch it really so I'd go with what works for others personally

I haven't seen Tony around for a while, he may be aware of any recent developments.

[milli260876]

i've got the plijade image running, disappointed to see USALS doesn't work and so far my motor has not been playing nice...
guess this is going to be one hell of a learning curve!!!
