im having pretty similar problems. but im using an original sky minidish and the coax length is 10metres at most.

HOWEVER, i am using the dish with a dreambox 5620s as opposed to orig sky digibox. i never had problems with picture break-up with the original sky digibox, but have always had probs with picture break-up on the dreambox.

and for those who have sussed it yes- there is no local card in the dreambox and yes it is connected to my router and yes i am watching sky on it. the only problem is the picture keeps breaking up.

Do the free to air channels break up?

If you are card sharing and your internet connection has packet loses then that is the reason for picture breakups on your dreambox ..

sorry rolfw
yes FTA channels break up eg BBC1 etc as often as "other" channels

iceman- i am CS- so how can i resolve the packet losses problem as the picture break-up happen constantly on the dreambox- on all channels

thanks to all those assisting me

If FTA channels break as well as encrypted ones, that throws my theory out the window.
Sounds like you are suffering from a low signal situation...I noticed you said,same signal will not give any problems on a skybox.This could just be simply down to the fact that dreambox tuners are very poor.

Can you try the free to air channels with no EMU enabled and see if they still break up.

ok ive run a scan on common interface, and found the FTA channels are totally fine. theres no picture break-up at all

my guess is its to do with the data packet, its clearly not the signal prob- so what next?

I'll move this now to the Dreambox section, as it is purely down to communication between the box and the server. :) Unfortunately, I know nothing at all about this side of things. :)

Have you tried using different Emulators?

the problem is that because i am doing CS- i needs the GBox to allow me to do CS to get sky on 28.2. However, im also doing CS for channels which are on hotbird and on astra 19e.

my friend who is supplying me with the channels told me that Gbox would be the best CAM which is why i havent any others.

of course if this is a data packet problem- any solutions would be welcome

More like different ISP to solve data loss problems M8..Clearly there is communication problem between box & server.

thats strange BT is my ISP- surely they should have the best connections- they own all the lines in UK

so how do i resolve the problem- deal with the dreambox or my friends server?

I guess that there could also be a problem if the server host is connection to too many share clients.

PS. GBox is not the only game in town, you may have more luck with one of the other emulators.

well im using Gbox- and both our pictures are breaking up- so that throws the CAM theory out of the window. from what i understand my version of Gbox is pretty recent

unless theres another cam out there which will solve this problem of broken pictures

hi m8's, most soft cambs can be use or card share, as long as
newcs_1.50 is loaded with the cam, as for gbox; there are many
flavours, 1.47, 1.50,iit s't work,try another.
regards
