Yup, just as I thought and extremely odd. I have it exactly like that (spent time on different images as well) and never got it to read the white one. No issues at all with old blue. I think B16MCC had similar issues... I bought the omnikey 3121 for €7 and after installing it (1 hour max) the Smargo (€40) went into a drawer. I will sell it to my italian friends since it's needed for their NDS3 cards, but obviously right now is not a good time for them ;-)

My configs have evolved over time so knowing the exact changes is difficult. I have compared my newcs.xml file with the stock one from the Gemini Blue Panel, below are the notable differences.

type: smartreader+
mhz: 357
node: /dev/usb/tts/0
enabled: Yes
boxkey: convert box id from decimal to hexadecimal, add leading zeros if not 8 characters

Rest of the config is as per usual.

Also ensure your Smargo is in dreambox mode.

Code:
root@dm800:/tmp# ./srp_tools_mipsel

smartreader+ version v1.3

MODE    autoswitch
FREQ    3.69 Mhz
KERNEL  dreambox
T_MODE  t = 0
EGT     0
I've found it helpful to run NewCS from the console as follows.
Code:
newcs_1.67 -nd
This lets you see if the card init was successful. If you see it failing, kill NewCS, remove the Smargo from the Dreambox, plug it back in and try NewCS again.

I'd advise on getting NewCS working and showing the card entitlements before moving onto configuring CCcam / Mgcamd.

Hope this helps.

Guys please keep this thread on topic and spend the time to read back through it.
As the thread gets longer it seems people are jumping straight in asking questions that have been covered earlier in the thread. Thankyou.

Can also confirm that Omnikey 3021 are working with the same setup as 3121 reader. (actually pcsc_scan gives 3121 output even if it is the 3021 that is connected). 3021 is a much smaller and cheaper reader.

cheers.

I bought 2 * 3121's on ebay for £3.95 a piece, so that must make a 3021 a real bargain !

OK in an attempt to stop tangent threads popping up all across the Dreambox section of the board here's a summary of this thread so far.

The new White Sly UK card CAID 0963 can be used in any Dreambox at the moment.
There is currently only one way to host the card, NewCS 1.66 / 1.67 I recommend 1.67.
To connect to the card you have 2 options, CCcam or MGCamd.
CCcam will not update the card.
MGCamd WILL update the card.
Different people report slightly different on the temperature of the card in the internal reader, some says its a little hot, some say its not. Test it very carefully.
You can use external readers if you wish.
Smargo on an Enigma 1 box
Omnikey 3021 or 3121 or Smargo on an Enigma 2 box.
Use my Config creator to create the config files required. Click the link in my Sig.

Finally, all the info you need is contained in this thread. Read it , ALL OF IT.

Hi
Thanks B16MCC for a sensible and informative reply, something that I can move on from.
In your opinion, what is the best image to redo the 7025 that would allow me to get this card working and get back to normality

I know I seem like a pain, but there is so much confusion on this thread that it has been impossible for me to determine whether the card was decodable on the dream, obviously time will tell if this is consistent.

Additional is there one image that is uses the old 7000 format rather than this crap one that you cannot see the timer menu properly - I did like the old one

This thread is not confusing and has all the information required to make a 7025 work. READ IT ALL AND USE THE PROVIDED SOFTWARE. This is a hobby and not an appliance that you plug in and it works. If that is what you want get the official box (or rather just use it as you should have one already). Do not expect one on one instructions on how to do it. If you dont like the GUI, which is Enigma2 vs Enigma1 on the older boxes, you can skin it, but that will require more reading, which you seem averse to doing.
The best image is a matter of personal preference; try a few and then decide. They are all pretty stable now and have roughly the same functionality - but this thread is NOT about that. Start a new thread.

Hi
I understand this is a hobby, trust me when I tell you, I have played with more satellite software than most people have had hot dinners (15 years of it).
The dream box issues have always presented problems, the more complicated the originators make it, the less useful it becomes and I am more of a geek than people realise.

I also understand that people who regularly tinker with their dream consider this thread to be a piece of cake, to me in my mid 50's all I want is consistency and from my experience some images will naturally work better than others when it comes to getting them to talk to emulators.

You had a guide for dummies for the 7000, why not this one as the menu's are completely different and less helpful, so when it comes to trying to get around 'oops' it becomes a lit harder

@chrisfound

Load Nabilo BH 0.11 to your 7025, from the addon panels you can download Mgcamd 1.31 or CCcam 2.12 both with newcs 1.67.

With either of them you just need to add your boxkey to the newcs.xml
I know this as I put them together to make life easier for users in the UK.

When you add your boxkey to the xml just remove <!-- from the begining and end of the line.

Honest it is that simple.;)

I have Newcs 1.67 and mgcamd 1.31 working on DB7000 guessing by the debug messages on card id 0963 but no picture.

Was the pairing of the new white card resolved on the Dreambox or do I have to head for eBay and get a second hand box to wake up this sleeping beauty? My old Pace Box died a few years ago....

I am eager to get this sorted as my blue card is dead since last week and the kids are getting restless on the diet of CBeebies.

Plus I have a new DB8000 on the way from hm_sat so this is one more reason to get the 0963 card going!

Thanks.

As far as I am aware you will have to pair it with the Sly box and then enter the box id into your DM setup. The boxid is only required to open movies and sport - base package just needs a paired card. I also suggest you read this WHOLE THREAD. All the info and software is here.

Thanks shumifan50, I am following this thread since its conception and was hoping that there was some last minute change to the DB pairing. Well, it sounds like I have to go for some aftermarket sky receiver in the end. I just hate wasting money before Xmas.

OK, installed Nabilo BH 0.11 on to my 7025, but due to the modem being two rooms away cannot directly connect to internet - I use wifi.
So as I have mgcamd on the HD can I manually install

sorry to be off topic slightly

Of course you can install manually but could you not take your box to your router just to install only ?

Also why not get a cheap gaming adaptor to get your box on your network?

Hi, ive been following this thread trying to make sense of it all and I finally managed to get it working last night (i think!)

One problem though, on the dreambox with the card in it (a dm600) im using mgcamd 1.31 for updates, and I have 2 other dreamboxes (dm500's) as clients running cccam 2.1.2. The clients work 100% fine no probs but the dm600 with mgcamd experiences a freeze in viewing a subscription channel every 10 mins or so lasting approx 10 seconds. Any ideas as to why thats happening? The dm600 is running newcs 1.67 (I had to do a manual install because im using pli jade 2)

My guess is some minor setting to change in newcs.xml but not entirely sure what it could be, i used b16mcc config tool to generate newcs.xml, latest version (kudos btw!)

Hi Sonic 1 (The dude).
Well after arguing with my over-aged son, I managed to get the 7025 on line, downloaded and installed the mgcamd cam, put in converted key of the sly box and rebooted - boing said zeberdee sly up and running with those deep colours that only the dreambox can deliver.

Now I need to find a site that provides me full information on how to fully use the software, I cannot understand why they changed it but it works, the original davinci was excellent.
Nabilo Black Hole is far better than the gemini that was installed in the box when I got it.

Thanks again Sonic 1

I think I will have to start a new topic

I know this sounds silly, but where is the stop recording button on the Nabilo BH 0.11 software, you push the TV/ stop and it ignores the command.
A small groan on a perfectly capable software.

CCCam 2.1.3 is out and it works directly with the 0963 card without the need for newcs :-bubbly

Unfortunately the NewCS boxkey doesn't work with it so i need to look into that one. I've put the card back under Newcs for now :D

All channels are working for me in including Sky Sports and All Asian channels i.e. Viewasia and Zee package.

You need to add boxkey in CCcam.cfg.

For DM internal reader:

BOXKEY: /dev/sci0 xx xx xx xx

Please change according to you need! i.e. for external reader.

PS: Please restart the cam after you add boxkey!
