I have a new 7020 and no previous exeperiences of CAMs and the like. I can receive all normal channels like BBC (all regions) etc. - except of course Channel 4 and "five". I have a £20 Sky card, but do not have a Sky box. I have downloaded Gemini via FlashWizardPro and have attempted to get newcamd to un-scramble Chs. 4 and 5 with no luck.
There are so many variables!!!!
- Is newcamd betad 6.1 ok? - if not, which?
- is the "complete" download complete, as I can see no way to download any "keys" I might need - where would I get these keys of I need them?
- should I download from the PC instead and just FTP things over to the DB?
- just where DO the various files go? e.g. betad.cfg, cardserv.cfg (both/neither required???)
- what is the necessary and sufficient file list for successful de-scrambling
- where does cardserver0961 come in?
- are the file extensions relevant (many posts refer to the file by its name only, yet downloads have extensions (like "ppc" which I assume is for the 7020)
- posts refer to the "BOXID". I have no Sky box per se, but do have a card with a 9-digit number - is this what is needed here? - or is it for the s/n of a Sky box?
- is newcamd what I need anyway?
- should I be running Enigma or Gemini?
I have looked up the idiot's guide, and believe I have done as it says, but is it still current?
One final question - do I need to have the Sky card activated in any way? (soem posts say yes, others, no). Sky require a version number and serial number (of any Sky box) so that they can press their "activate now" button.
Hopefully activation is all I need for success..., but all up-to-date info gratefully received, and will hopefully help others in a similar state of despair
- PS: for this activation procedure ("over the air"?) I presume the Sky card has to be in situ, but does the image or cam state matter?
TIA
James.
