Sky UK card not working in DM800 Card Reader

harshy · 21-07-2008

Hello friends,

I am having problem with the Sly UK card in the DM800 card reader, it dosen't recognise the card, I have Gemini 3.60, CCam 2.09 and NewCS 1.60, when I put this card in the reader I get

card reader /dev/sci0
no or unknown card inserted

the card reader recognises the gamma card however but not the S*y card, how do I get this to work in the DM800?

OK, thanks for reading,

harshy

this is one of the reasons im holding back buying one. hopefully there will be a fix with the next version of cccam. be carefull as some have had there cards cooked!

Thanks CROSSBONES,

I read on various forums that CCam 2.09 and NewCS 1.60 should work, but it dosen't indeed the Gamma card was being read with the default config file but I couldn't get any picture, so four extra lines had to be put in before I could see picture with the Gamma.

I wonder if this is the problem?

***CROSSBONES*** · 22-07-2008

I have read that newcs160/cccam2.09. works, add an N line to the newsc conf file. The cccam info utility reports no card inserted because it is newcs that is reading the card and passing information through cccam.

When I get more info I will let you know.

Hello CROSSBONES, you are absolutely spot on, because i've got it working this afternoon

but I did it via an XML file and not the conf file.

Many thanks again,

harshy

Hello Harshy/Crossbones.

Can you let me know what this illusive line is?

Many thanks.

I need a help on this too. Because of this I thought my receiver was faulty and got it replaced. Ok, what do I exactly need to do? (blackhole nabilosat image and cccam 209)

thanks

NDS cards don't work in the DM800 under CCcam. They do work in NewCS.
An alternative is to read up about the Smargo smartreader+ . Its a USB card reader , you can plug it directly into the DM800 USB socket and insert your NDS card. There's a little setup to be done, which I'm still playing around with , but based on the info from the Germans it works great. Get it here _www.satstore.co.uk

No sorry I have never used it, look the idea of a self help forum is just that, do a search for cccam and read the many hundreds of threads that appear , there is even one on card sharing. good luck!

Yes I would like to know how and I need this for a tv cabo rom142 card.
The Dm800 does not run it on CCcam anyway even on any Dreambox but it does not run even with newcs.

It says on the newcs log that I'm overclocking it.
I tryed controling the mhz and that works for the old Rom110 cards but not for the rom142 new cards.

I wonder if the problem with your sky card was also overclocking?
Maybe this smargo reader will solve the problem with the rom142 cards.
What do you think?

**B16MCC** · 02-10-2008

Crossbones, yes the smargo is a USB reader, but it has a built in USB to serial converter.

Please PM me for detailed info on this.

Hi guys, here is a download that will get your sky uk card working in the internal card reader on your Dreambox 800. You must have NewCs and CCcam running on your box. Just unrar the file and use DCC to replace your CCaam.cfg and the Newcs xml file . Even easier, you dont have to replace your own cccam.cfg file. Just copy line 1 of downloaded cccam.cfg file, the N line and paste it into your own cccam.cfg file. Once you have done this, restart the cam, insert your card and your 800 will now read your Sky Uk viewing card. Hope this helps, I have been reading many requests on the net on how to do it.. This works Dont know if it allows me to share, but Im too tired to keep playing now, will leave it till tomorrow to experiment. Think it should though.

johno21 · 03-10-2008

wow this is great news as i thought you had to use an external reader to add a sly card to the 800hd box. im currently in a cs group but want to add skyhd to it myself so can anyone confirm it works before i sign up? also will the card just work or do i need a new card from sly an pair it to a slyhd box or do i subscribe an say i have a box already and then just stick it in the dm800?

***tomthebomb1968*** · 03-10-2008

It Works , I am using the configs from the download. Ftpd my own c lines and f lines and all is fine.

Not sure about upgrading to an HD card, I have read that you can activate in an 800 but cant remember the process. If you just want to use it solely in your 800 you can pair it with any sky hd box for activation, even one that is paired to another card ie(if you have a friend or family member with an hd sky box)

**dominus** · 06-10-2008

do we have to confi anything on the n line of cccam? I never used newcs do I just copy the file (over right? ) this that it?

many thanx
