It is possible to watch TPS with a Dreambox. To do this you need to install SBCL/ vplug on your PC and to modify a config file on your Dreambox. You will then to put the new TPS files onto your PC each day.
This guide will use CCcam; it is possible to use other cams if you modify the relevant config file (See appendix not done yet).

Dreambox setup

Date/ time.

2. Type
date

Router setup- optional
You
may need to configure you router for port forwarding on port 6001. Setup forwarding on this port to your PC's IP address.
For details on how to do this for your router see here:

Firewall
You may need to enable port 6001. For some reason I had to allow port 1034.
Test
With SBCL running on your PC, go to a TPS channel and set CCcam as the default cam.
In the vplug Monitor/ SBCL window you should now see SBCL sending the keys to your Dreambox and you should be able to watch TPS channels
Updating
Stop SBCL and put the latest tps_fns and v_tps.db files into the plugins folder.
Restart SBCL.
Other
You need to update tps_fns and v_tps.db on a daily basis.
p.s. any errors- please post them in the Dreambox General Section.
