Hi there, I currently have an Irish Sky sub - I have it mostly to watch the Irish terrestrials which unfortunately are subscription channels and not FTA. Would a Dreambox 7025 decode these channels, and if so, what do I need to do to the box to get it to work? | ||

This was wallyCharlo; search and you'll find the whole thread. You'll only need to run CCcam on the Dreambox plus the card must already be active. | |||

My System: Famaval 3,1, IP9000HD plus other FTA and Linux boxes - Astra 1&2, Hotbird, Hispasat | To consolidate what mhku has said, both Irish and UK Sky cards work exactly the same. They have what I call a "sleep date". If they don't receive a "stay awake"message before the sleep date they temporarily stop working. Every time they receive a stay awake message, roughly every day, the sleep date is advanced and is about 5 to 6 weeks from the last stay awake message received. Luckily (and unlike the similar facility of a Dragon Cam), CCcam can send the keep awake message to a card, provided that the Dreambox is turned on and that the tuner is receiving a channel (ANY channel) on the Sky EPG; in practical terms virtually anything at 28,2º/28,5º. Under these circumstances a sleeping card should wake up within 24 hours (48 hours at most). CCcam WILL wake up a sleeping card - for reasons I won't go into, I have a stock of (expired) Sky cards, and I tried with one that had been asleep for a year or so. Within a few hours, Channel 4 and Channel 5 (which need an active but not necessarily subscription) card started to work again. | ||

Edit: My USB key works now - I kept reformatting and mounting it and finally it worked.. | ||
