If they want to revert back to where they once where, use the last scanned history feature.

I agree with you, but from what Kierank01 says there is a workaround. Not worth getting upset about.

Thanks Gunther and Kieran01. Not upset at all, just giving feedback albeit indirectly.

Ive asked this before but no answer and its driving me insane. Can someone please please please tell me how do I keep my sky ftv card alive in the vu+ duo. Every 4-6 weeks I loose all my extra channels (pick, 5*, 5 USA, ITV HD etc) and I have to dig out the old sky box, place the card in it overnight and start again. There must be an easier way. Using oscam btw.

What version of oscam? Are you using a client to connect to it or are you using the DVB API direct to the card? Did you compile oscam yourself? If yes, is the WEBINF compiled with it, that is can you get to oscam via a webpage?

If you can get to oscam I would enable emm debug to an output file(you can change this in the oscam config (log_file=/var/log/oscam/log.out - you will have to "mkdir /var/log/oscam" first or the process most likely won't be able to write to the file.
Also, change EMMCache to 1,3,15 and starting looking at the EMM traffic in the logs.

Having said all of this, I don't have a Sky FTV card (just a subscribed card) but I would imagine they are fairly similar - also, have you tried just CCcam?

Many thanks but I have no clue what you are saying? way too complicated for me. It took me three weeks to figure how to get oscam working and that was 6 months ago.

Using oscam info (blue button) but I cannot figure out where the version info is. My installer file is called enigma2-plugin-cams-oscam.1.00.4863_1.0_mipsel.ipk

I can log into web interface on vu+duo ip:8888. That shows readers 1/1 - cardok, clients 1/1 ok etc.

All I want to do is keep the sky ftv card alive. I presume this means adding a setting or two the the oscam.config file or similar. Can anyone please help me with this?

I can log into web interface on

dnme, have you joined any dedicated vuo + forums? this one is very good but you have to do a bit of reading.

I went ahead and bought the receiver from the site yesterday evening.
I say it takes at least a week to get it here from Estonia.

Is there any guides around how to set it up, I plan to flash it with the Vix image as it seems most people recommend it.

I will begin with to set it up for FTA channels from Astra2/Eurobird and after that try to get it to work with my white Sky card.

see post above yours! world of etc enjoy

and let us know how you get on

I have, and I've read and read. Can't find anywhere that deals with my issue in a simple fashion. I even found an oscam sky card tutorial. It does not mention keeping alive. I'm trying to avoid having to do an honours degree on the subject. I just want it to work.

Is there anyone here who has oscam running on their VU+Duo with a sky ftv card? I'm sure there must be. Does your sky card stay alive? If so could you possibly let me have your config files (strip out your own box ID first) ?

I have a Sky card from an old (defunct) subscription. I never thought of using it in the Vu+ Duo since I thought I had all the channels without it anyway (?)

What am I missing?


(...And if I am missing something, some clues as to how to go about getting it working on the Duo (and re-registering it on my not-in-use sky+box) without the aforementioned degree in forum-trawling would be much appreciated.)

Your missing......

ITV HD
Channel 5
Channel 5 HD
5*
5 USA
Pick TV (formerly Sky 3)
Viva

Definately worth having

[Gunther_Gloop]

I have ITV HD and Channel 5. Not that I've ever looked at Channel 5. I don't think the others are worth it either for me. Thanks though, interesting.

hi, I posted for you and got this reply " Use CCcam bog standard settings with a boxkey if you have premium channels and it will update itself Oscam is more complicated and if you do not want to watch PickTV, than stick with CCcam."

I then read a bit more and got the following:

Install CCam 2.2.1 or higher by doing the following:
- FTP your .ipk file to the /tmp folder on the VU+ box.
- On the box press Menu, Setup, VIX, IPK Installer - install the .ipk you just placed in the /
tmp folder.
- You have to manually create the CCcam.cfg file and place it in the /etc folder on the VU+.
- To do this open Notepad (or similar) and type the following lines:
BOXKEY: /dev/sci0 12 34 AB CD
SMARTCARD CLOCK FREQUENCY: /dev/sci0 3570000
- You need to replace the Box Key with your own box key information. This is figured out
by converting the 10 digit code from your *l**y box in to hexadecimal. To do this, write down
the 17 digit number on the back/bottom of your ***ly box. Ignore the first 6 characters and
write down the following following 10 digits, and ignore the last digit. For example:
1E200506858456748
Ignore the first 6: 1E2005
The 10 you want: 0685845674
Ignore the last 1: 8
Convert those 10 digits to hex, and you would get something like the following:
28e12caa
So your .cfg file will contain:
BOXKEY: /dev/sci0 28 E1 2C AA
/dev/sci0 indicates that you are putting your ***y card in the top slot card reader. /dev/sci1
would be the second slot.
- Save the file by go to “File” > “Save As” change “Save as type” to “All Files” name the file
CCcam.cfg
- FTP the .cfg file to the /etc directory on the VU+ box.
- Turn off the VU+ box.
- Insert your ***y card in to the top slot (if you set your .cfg file this way)
- Turn on your VU+ box
- Select Menu, Setup, Softcam/ci, Softcam Manager,
- Select CCcam.2.2.1 and press green to start it, or better - press blue to autostart it.
DONE!

I don't have an FTV card but surely it isn't paired with a box? You only need a boxkey to clear premium channels. Anyway, CCcam will definatly update the entitlements. One thing about OSCAM. Did you check the AU was set to one in the config. If it is not then it will ignore emm's etc.

Can you post your oscam config? There shouldn't be any need for boxkey for FTV cards. Is AU turned on for the reader?
