How can I transfer the recorded video files on the dreambox to the laptop?

Gentleman_1 said:Ok but what is the method of connection? Is it a USB cable or null modem?, knowing that there is no 9 pin port on the laptop.
By the way, is there a way to use an external HD in the USB port of the DB I tried to put a flash memory but nothing happened.
HB13DISH said:Neither. Use the Ethernet connectors and a suitable LAN cable on both sides.
Regarding the USB stick, it should work, presumably for recording?
See this thread:

Gentleman_1 said:Do you have a practical guide for the LAN connection? The LAN port on the laptop is taken by the internet connection. The LAN port on the box is used for internet sharing. So it looks I am out of ports?
The thread you provided talks about an image installed on the box to allow it to select the destination of recording. I only have CC Cam installed and couldnt find any options for such recording. Do I have to install such an image and how?

Yes it may be a great box but it seems to be a stupid company. Now my box has a break down for hardware failure. I found out it has to be sent to Germany for warranty repair, ONLY in Germany. It is broken since 1 month and I dont know when it will be returned to me. This is really terrible.
By the way, I had a CC Cam installed on it - by a local shop- just before the breakdown. It worked for a while and then stopped. Could this CC Cam cause it to break?
Also, My local DSL connection requires log in by a username and password. Does the CC Cam allow entering log in info or I have to use a router?
Gentleman_1 said:No I didnt use any card with it.
I am thinking what is the alternative to dreambox? It seems to be the only one that has all those features:
-Recording ability
-Double tuners
-Can accept a cc cam for sharing.
I couldnt find any alternative. Can you?
