    Nagra Help/Advice

    Thanks for the info. I should have asked sooner, then I wouldn't have spent the last 6 weeks trying to figure it out on my own. I figured I got it working before (don't know what I did) but this time I'd pay closer attention and learn what it was.

    Nagra Help/Advice

    I am running Gemini 2.8 with the Newcamd 6.11 & Evo 2.11 EMU's and the latest key packages I could find on my 7020 and I can't seem to get any of the Nagra channels (PlayB, Pol, Mtv, etc) on the Hotbirds to come in. I had everything working smoothly until I turned off my system while I went on...

    Showtime/ADDUniverse card on DB7020?

    Well it appears that the Sky setup directions work perfectly for the Showtime/ADDUniverse card on Nilesat. I made the edits 4 days ago after I received no replies/thoughts on the subject here. I don't know how often updates are sent to the card but so far so good. They only questionable item...

    Showtime/ADDUniverse card on DB7020?

    I have a combined card from Showtime/ADDUniverse that runs in a Dealer provided UEC receiver from a dish pointed at Nilesat. I'm wondering what would be involved is hooking the Nilesat feed into a DiSEqC and running the card through my Dreambox 7020 running Gemini 2.70. From what I've read in...

    Compact Flash vs USB Drive

    Much coolness ensued when I moved everything over to the CF from my USB. Suddenly MultiV and polsat channels were clear. Alas 8 hours later they were gone. Any thoughts on that?

    decrypting oddness

    I am also using newcamd on the hotbirds and I'm wondering just what channels I should be seeing in the clear? I get a bunch of the Via channels but nothing Nag, Crypto, Conax, Seca, etc if I have the latest key should any of them come in clear? On a semi different issue should I be able to...

    Compact Flash vs USB Drive

    Would a 256MB be more room than I'd ever realistically need?

    Compact Flash vs USB Drive

    Just wondering about the operational pros and cons of a USB Drive vs a Compact Flash drive. As far as I can tell there would be no difference as they are both just storage but I wanted to see if there is some minor difference I'm not aware of. I am currently using a USB drive but am a little...

    7020 Images

    You already posted this question in the main 7020 thread and while the answer yes was never said directly (yes you can) the reason that it isn't a good idea (hard diive spins constantly) were pointed out. I don't know how long a hard drive motor lasts but if you can stand the noise of the...

    How to manually install/upgrade cams question

    Yes, I get TPS (but don't care for that kind of football), Spice, Sailing, all the EuroSport channels, the M6 music, VH1, MTV F, etc, but all are Via encrypted. Should I be able to get Polsat or any of the Nag encrypted channels? I know Iredto is out but what about Seca, Conax, CryptoWorks...

    How to manually install/upgrade cams question

    Well today a my receiver see's the light (dim but a light). I found a set of add-on config .tar files for the various emu's and when I ftp'd the newcamd one across, ran the add-on and rebooted (I think I had to reboot) many things became clear. I now get everything that my Viewsat box gets so...

    How to manually install/upgrade cams question

    With the GP image I'm not sure where the image is. When I was using Hydra they made it easy to run off the Flashdrive but I can't find the way to tell with the GP image. I suspect it may be on the HD just because the HD starts to spin whenever I switch channels and just sleeps if I don't...

    How to manually install/upgrade cams question

    I followed all the instructions I could find while installing Gemini 2.70 and then installing NewcamD including resetting the attributes on the appropriate files and when I was done there was no change to the the Gemini program that I can see. I started with a clean install of Gemini 2.70...

    How to manually install/upgrade cams question

    Well, I'll download a new copy of the image file and start with a fresh copy of Gemini and download the latest Newcamd I can find and put everything where your handy chart indicates and see where that puts me. Which version of Gemini do you recommend? The very latest or the previous version to...

    How to manually install/upgrade cams question

    Sadly it all has to be done manually. I'm at a rather rustic (middle of nowhere) location and the only place I can access the internet is from work and the repercussions from hooking a dreambox up to the corporate network are something I'd rather not even think about. lol Anyways the Gemini...
