Hi Can someone please give me a clear step by step guide on how to get the smargo working on the dreambox 8000hd with the PLi image. I have followed all other instructions on other posts including loading smargo 1.5, changing kernal to dreambox and editing the cccam.cfg and nothing happens. I'm...

I've just bought a number of these to read smartcards to one receiver. I can't get it to work though. i have updated the firmware but when I put it in to the USB port on the receiver with the smartcard in, nothing happens. Can anyone help me please? I have an octagon sf1018 hd receiver. Thanks
