- My Satellite Setup
- Hotbird, Arabsat and Nilesat. Currently using a cheap Mediastar box, looking into replacing it with a Dreambox

- Dubai
OK, so I am very new to this. I have had my 7020 for only three days now and so far I:
- flashed it with the latest Gemini4.4 image via the web interface
- set it up to receive from Hotbird, NileSat and ArabSat
- connected it to my home network and the internet
- created bouquets and backed up my settings with DreamBoxEdit
- setup FTP comms via FireFTP
- Installed a 250GB hard drive into it
- set it up with a 1GB USB stick
- moved the /var folder to the USB stick
- setup mutliboot and experimented with installing alternate images on the USB stick, using FlashWizard 6.3 PRO
- installed evocamd2.17, newcamd6.10b and cccam2.09 respectively with config files evocamconfig 2.14, newcamdbetad config6.x and cccamconfig2.09, all straight from the Gemini server via the blue panel
- manually installed SatanK*yBundle
- I also installed the Hacksat k*y updater addon, so I have two sources for k*ys
Note that I do not have any official or non official cards in the card slots. All I have is the DB, the satellite signals and my internet connection.
Problems I am having:
- I would like to create a backup of my current image with all the stuff I have done so far. FlashWizard 6.3 PRO won't let me do this because it says "not supported (yet) on DM7020". Is there any other way to do this cleanly?
- It seems there are further versions of FlashWizard but the only place that has them seems to be the sat-industry tech forum. I can't seem to register with that forum. It keeps telling me that it sent me an email to complete my registration, but I never receive said email. I emailed the Admins to no avail. Anybody had problems registering with them?
- After installing the emu's and k*ys, I browsed to some channels. Some of them clear fast (DisneyChannel), but some others take several minutes to clear (XXL), and some others freeze after a few minutes (France2). ANy idea what the problem is?
- I am quite confused by all the EMU/CAMS available. Do some channels work only with particular EMU's? How do I know which EMU to choose for a particular channel? What about the config files of the EMU's? Should I do anything with these, like editing them?
- There are channels which I am really interested in which I cannot get (Canal+, Discovery, Nat Geo, HBO, all the French TV channels, more movie channels, etc). Are there specialized EMU/keys for these? Where to find them?
- I am also confused about what you can do with the card slots? If I buy an official card, I am quite sure I can make it work with the DB, but, other than card sharing, what is the point having such a hacking tool as the DB if it to end up having to pay the official cards anyway?
- Is card sharing the only way to go for some channels? Is this possible over the internet or can this be done only on a local network? If this is possible over the internet, how do you join a group?
Thanks for taking the time to answer some of my questions.
