First help DB 5620

The guides are excellent. But sometimes you need the company of a living person to discuss matters. I´ll read the guides a few more times and see if I may have missed something...

That rules out Stick as he is a machine O-Ha

I'll be back... (-|-)

Best do do then is this:

Do a flash erase so that the image is "clean"
Make sure your network settings are ok.
Load up some channels and get a channel. Select with the blue button "Common interface" and save this. (I am not 100% sure it is needed, but I have a feeling that if you are on a cam that you are trying to change it causes problems)


Download the latest control panel, then reboot,
Download the cams that you want such as newcamd 5.25, reboot again and then go to h**p://yowie.caliph.net.au/hydra/keys/mary.tar.gz

Download the files, unpack them and then FTP them, to the correct place (you will know where by the name of the directories they are in)
I would change all of the files you loaded to CHmod 755

I just did this some while ago and it works ok.
If you still encounter problems then maybe your network settings are not ok.

I have experienced problems with the keys download myself, so that's why I prefer to FTP the files one by one, and then check if the file size is the same.

After that you might need to reboot and then choose newcamd.

No I meant the blue one. Before you start downloading press the blue and change the default softcam . Then do the other stuff

 

[bin20]

i did the first step but when i want to download the last cpanel it takes time to downlaodi and i dont get any result.
but i want to ask u fromwhere is he downloading the control panel i dont know realy tnx

 

[T_G]

When you got everything ready press on the green button, and then go to the "Hydra Setup" . There you can download the "Control Panel"

It is a bastard at times with the Hydra, but it does work in the end....
The problem is that the VAR directory is almost full, so when you try to download the EMUS and the keys you get problems.

Be patient...

 

[gameboy]

it takes time to downlaod

What type of Internet connection are you on?

After I wrote the previous posts on this matter I played around with the Hydra angahard, and I must say it pissed me off. You always get messages that the VAR is 94% full, and the key download does not always work too smooth. Then it worked for a while and I got problems with the newcamd.

So, I went and tried the new SF image and found it much easier to sort out. I have had it running now since this afternoon, and no problems. Motor works ok. Keys and emu download also fine.

Maybe you should try it. you can download it from the IHAD site or from here:

i just installed SF_image but there is no emu and keys idont know what to do but the image is good and beutifull so wich botton is the cpanel or is it conculuded evrything thnks

 

[T_G]

Hey bin
Yes, it is a good image, stil no reboot needed after 2 days...

To get the addons, you go to the setup menu and choose external addons. Then choose download addons from alternativ, and take it from there. It is pretty easy even for a complete novice.

I am the last one to hold out information to other users, but do me a favour and try to play with the image and dreambox before asking questions.
I think the SF image is one of the easiest ones to find out what to do, you can find this on your own.

.

One of the last ones, but not the last one!
But I agree on playing before asking.

Just use the coloured buttons and get what you want from them remembering to exit or lame out of the menu when you want to leave. If you are trying to download keys/cams and it does not install then you have your network set up wrong and this needs to be corrected before you can do this.

I got /var down to about 66% by deleting cardserver.* and cardspider.* (since I don't use card sharing). Using the control panel I deleted all of the softcams - Newcamd etc ... . Using telnet I then cleaned out any remnants in /var/keys /var/scce etc of newcamd, radegast - some of these are quite big. Back into the control panel to load in just one cam - I used mgcamd - and update keys from Marys key bundle.

This worked quite well and left /var with a lot of room - important for a 5620.

Having said that I still found Hydra Angharad a bit unstable and had to reboot a bit too often, so now using the latest IHAD image, which hasn't got so many features but seems a bit more stable. Perhaps I'll try the SF image though ...

It is day 3 now and the dreambox-Motor-SF combination works wonderful.
It actually switches nicely between sats without too many problems like with the Angahard...
