Hi I've been looking at the Cuberevo twin dvb-s2 pvr as the Dreambox 8000 is a silly price. How do you feel about your Cuberevo a month on?

Hello I've been looking at the Skystar HD card on and off for a while, but can't find too many posts around the net from people that use one. I can't wait for the Dreambox 8000 anymore and would like to capture and playback BBC HD and other free HD channels. Has anyone used this, or other HD...

How strange, but I've now put a fresh Gemini image on and CCcam (ccam was a typo of course) is now working great. Thanks for the pointers. I can now record even more rubbish from my extra channels! :)

I can view Channel 4 and 5 with the card using the Newcamd-Betad.6.10b but not with CCAM 2.04. I used the blue panel to download both and install them along with settings, then selected it as a cam and started it, also did a reboot. Is there something else I should be doing? cheers

2nd attempt at a reply, not sure where other one went. Following direction from mhku thought it more appropriate to post here now I know it's here. Added a bit at the top, CCAM does not work with Channel 4 and 5 unfortunately.

Posted the below in the Sky/PVR forum before someone mentioned a Dreambox forum was here too. Currently working ok with Newcamd-Betad.6.10b but not with CCAM 2.04, but trying to find what will keep it alive in the Dreambox? Hi, I have a Dreambox 7020s and although I put a dish on a motor in...

The card has been activated as the Sky tech chap used their own box number to activate it, and once the card had been left in my Dreambox for a while it was ok with Channel 4/5, but I'd like to keep it alive so wonder which settings/cam (sorry, I'm no expert!) has been used to keep cards alive...

Hi, I have a Dreambox 7020s and although I put a dish on a motor in the backyard I mainly use it to record FTA channels on 28.2E these days. I've read how some people have got a Sky card working in the box and I tried my Sky+ card and managed to get Channel 4 and 5 ok with it. I called "Freesat...

The new bracket. Please note the special angle the bolts are at, crucial to the whole design of the setup..ahem. Initially able to get 28.2E, 19.2E, and 13E. 16E seemed to go AWOL. Reset motor to zero. Went into the motor setup on the Dreambox. Manually adjusted dish up/down, left right, until...

Already been around the loop, so to speak. No poles in my area (although I can't think why anyone wouldn't want the fine Polish people in their area). Even with my dodgy setup I've now managed to get 28.2E, 23.5E, 19.2E, 16E (at last), 13E, and 10E. Not bad I reckon. The rail I have in mind...

That's exactly my point :) 4 screws. 1 bath rail or similar. 1 spirit level. Sorted. Tried to source a scaffold pole for the old dish not so long ago. I don't think I move in the 'right' circles though. Do you know someone who knows someone who drinks down the local? ;)

Yeah, probably, but I've tried to find a pole in my area - nothing doing. Also, I've no idea how to mix concrete nor how to keep it straight until it's dried. Screwing a bracket to a wooden post..just about manage that!

Ok... SG2100A Moteck, Triax TD88, common/garden LNB. All arrived. Installed. Blimey. That dish is MASSIVE! As you can see the bracket that was good for an old analogue dish without a motor is not going to last very long. Thought about some options and I'm going to get (unless someone helpful...

I certainly would have tried the forums sponsors, but unfortunately I couldn't access this helpful place at all yesterday morning and my order went in elsewhere. Oops. Got a Triax TD88 and Moteck SG2100. Will be fun setting it up without direct access to due south!

"There seems to be variable results with the dm7020 and goto so just wondered what people have used successfully." Yep :D
