Been playing with my new 7025 all weekend and now have some questions

andel

Just got my 7025 i have installed nabilosat BH and cccam. Im just learning the ropes and am just starting off by getting my blue sky card to work with a fixed dish.

1. I have read that with the new white cards you have to add the boxkey to the cfg but what to i have to do to "pair" my old blue card to box. I know there is something i have to do because if i put my card into another skybox it says its registered to a different box so i figured i must be missing something on the DB as i cant record an encrypted channel.

2. For some reason i cant get any video output fro the s-video port, i went into the av settings and choose s-vid but still nothing...am i missing something?

3. Is there a way of getting series link on the 7025 or recording 2 encrypted streams at once ie sky1 and sky sports 1?

Any help would be great
many thanks

The old blue card should work just by inserting it, using CCcam

The component out connections dont work either, so I think its better to just use the scart.

ok ill try again to record but i got a green screen last time and an error message.
That seems a little dissapointing that the outputs dont work, pointless them being on there then?

So am i right in thinking there is no such thing as series link on dreamboxes?

No such thing as series link m8

Blue card will work with any CCcam and a default CCcam.cfg

bummer...how am i gonna convince the misses that the dreambox is better than the sky box now?

You wont because for watching Sky you struggle to beat a Sky box. They are probably the easiest box to use. Ok they could do with a tweak to the EPG but is must be the best around and wont work on your Dreambox.

Got to agree that the Sky boxes, both HD and Plus take some beating for ease of use, I have to keep one for the non-techos in the house

The Sky EPG has been around for a while, you would have thought that this would be the minmum standard for all other Sat boxes.

Me, I get along fine with the Dream, but then I dont mind fiddling about ....

andel

yes i think ill keep both and have the best of both worlds

Did you ever get this working, there is no need to select s-video in the menu ,it outputs s-video all the time irrelevant of setting.
