I'm Sooooo Odiot.......!!!

[mariosk1gr]

Hi everyone,
yesterday I bought skystar 2 and as I saw at "idiot guides" I downloaded ProgDVB 6.02 and DVBviewer PRO 3.9.4.0, so I am trying to use these programs with "softcam.17.dec.2008" which I downloaded but I don't know how!! I downloaded the latest version from Yankse-1-31.0-TT-XP but it doesn't work cause I have vista x64.
I'm completely idiot cause I have search so much for a guide to use softcam keys and software and I don't have understand nothing!

If someone know and have time please send me a simple guide about
PROGDVB or DVBVIEWER.

Merry Christmas to EveryONE!!

Download vPlugin with latest keys, its much better and easier to use, just install it to the DIR of ProgDVB plugins and it will work.

[mariosk1gr]

Ok So do u know where can i find it?? I tried dvbsoft.net but no luck.
When I download it I just put it only to progDVB dir?? no settings?

Thanks in advance my friend iandoh!

Which satellites are you pointing to?
I suppose Hot Bird 13E judging from your location.
Perhaps I am mistaken, but AFAIK there is nothing there worth the trouble.

[Llew]

Best to go to vplug's main site -

_http://vplug.baywords.com/

Yes, just put it in the ProgDVB's plugin folder. You'll need to update v_keys, search for the latest one.

Llew

[mariosk1gr]

Yes I'm pointing at Hotbird 13o East.
Ok So I uninstalled everything cause was a mess and started from the
beginning!

So,
1. I Installed ProgDVB 6.02 x64.
2. I put into "plugins" folder v_keys.db (3/12/08).
3. I installed vplug 2.3.9
4. I put into "plugins" folder softcam.key (17/12/08).

Final: Do I need something else to do???

Very many thanks for ur help guys, be well!

[mariosk1gr]

So, can someone (plzzzzz) tell me where am I wrong??
As u have seen in the preview msg I have done these steps that u have told me to do. Am I missing something with the settings on ProgBVD 6.02? A little help if u can guys...

[Llew]

Click on the Plugins tab when you start ProDVB and tick vplug and monitor.

Haven't checked lately, but as has been mentioned, not much you can clear on 13E now.

There is nothing on Hot Bird 13E.
Which channels are you after?

[mariosk1gr]

As I have checked in my country most people set their dishes to 2 specific satellites: Astra and Hotbird.
So u tell me that ProgDVB and plugins can't u***ck channels on hotbird!
Damn it, I don't know if I can set my dish to another satellites cause I don't know if it is possible to do from my country (Greecce)...
Until now I'm watching only fta channels and I'm trying to see movie channels like nova - filmnet - supersport and others. Guys can u suggest me a solution plz........? I'm Lost for one more time again!!!

Unless you have obstacles (trees, buildings) in front of your dish, there is nothing to prevent you to set it up on another satellite.

I guess you're out of luck! There is not much left to see with plugins like vplug (or with emus on set top boxes) at this time. The only important package that is left "open" is "Digi TV" on Thor/Intelsat 7-10 at 1°W.

[Sotos65]

Είναι δυνατό (το vplug δουλεύει ή μάλλον δούλευε πολύ καλά, και δεν έχει να κάνει με δυνατότητες της συγκεκριμένης κάρτας μόνο, δουλεύει και με άλλες κάρτες, αλλά με τα διάφορα προγράμματα που χρησιμοποιούμε), αλλά έπεσες στην περίοδο των ισχνών αγελάδων που σχεδόν όλα τα πακέτα (Premiere, Polsat πήγαν σε nagravision 3, TPS φεύγει από Hotbird και πάει στον Astra με αλλαγή κωδικοποίησης, κλπ) έχουν κλείσει το τελευταίο δίμηνο! Κάποια σκόρπια έμειναν εδώ και εκεί, αλλά τίποτα το αξιόλογο εκτός από το Digi TV που μάλλον κι αυτό θα περάσει σε nagravision 3 κάποια στιγμή.

PS. Sorry for the greek!

[Llew]

Enough already - English in this section please.

Llew

[mariosk1gr]

Sorry for the greek.
If I have understand correct, nagravision, TPS, seca and others are decryption systems to secure the channels right? So where to put my dish u suggest??
What do u think about NOVA? Can it be??

[HB13DISH]

No, TPS is a French package and it will leave Hot Bird 13E by the end of this year. Nagravision, Seca are encryption systems.
Nova is secured with Irdeto.

[mariosk1gr]

thank u for the info!
I opened my pc before and when I try now to run progDVB it says "device not started!
Here is a look......

So any ideas...??
I have getting tired with all this story....

[mariosk1gr]

Ok I fixed by installing 32bit version, for some reason 64bit doesn't play!
So, until now I have put many plugins into "plugins folder" but how can I know what have I un****ed??
Take a look:
plugins.jpg
vplug.jpg
I have lost plz a little help guys........


So many channels..... How shall I know if i have done anything???

[mariosk1gr]

SOTOS65 if u can send me ur email to contact with u if u like.

[Llew]

Too much unwanted files in your Plugins.

You only need those I have in the snapshot.

The channels with a red icon are the encrypted ones. The only encrypted channel I can open on 13E is the one in the pic. Possibly it's clear ATM anyway

Forget 13E, nothing doing now.

Llew

[Sotos65]

Actually you don't need all those files in every application (AltDVB, Progdvb, DVBViewer, etc), you only need two, vplug.dll and vplug.ini.

21-12-2008 3-01-11.png

You install vplug in a separate folder (anywhere you like, the default is C:\dvbapps\vplug) and you only need to copy those two files in the dvb application plugins folder. There is just one more thing to be done, you have to edit vplug.ini (with a simple text editor, like notepad) and put the vplug's installation path in "FilesPath=" (without quotes), like this for example,

FilesPath=E:\DVB\vplug

Anyway, as others have already said, there is not much to see (at least on Hotbird).

[mariosk1gr]

Ok, very helpful ur info, thank u.
So, vplug is the trick. What about softcam.key?Do I need it?
How I know what channels have unlo***d?
And.. last question in what sat do u suggest to install my dish??

[Sotos65]

There is no need for softcam.key, only v_keys.db is needed. But you may import a softcam.key in v_keys.db (if it contains something new) using vplug's editor. Right click vplug's icon in the tray (the yellow disk), select "editor", go to the "keys" tab, and from "import softcam.key" you may import a fresh softcam.key. There is the possibility to delete older keys or import only new ones.

[mariosk1gr]

How should I know what channels have unlo***d?
And.. last question in what sat do u suggest to install my dish??
Is Astra a good sat?

It is a little complicated the whole thing about keys - sats - software, so does anyone know where to find a "simple guide about all these things which we r talking about"?
