Confusing

[Gekornro]

Hi,

I'm new to this forum and also to Dreambox.

I've got a Dreambox 7020s with the Gemini Image installed on the HDD using flashiwizard.

So far I have managed to get my sky card to work using newsc & mcamd.

But I still have no clue how this softcam things work because i downloaded a million different applications/softcams etc etc.

1. Is there a good guide to how the softcams work? Where do i put the so called keys?

2. Is there a way to get access to sky without having the viewing card inserted? I spend time in 2 different location in the uk and would benefit from not having to remember to bring the card with me all the time. I know this is bordering on "illegal" but I'm not paying for 2 sky subs.

3. Is there a way to see programs in the EPG for the whole evening/week and not just now/next? Like the sky epg.

4. Is it safe to sell my sky digibox now? Or do i need it again if sky update something on my viewing card?

5. Is there a guide on how to install addons? I got some from Dreamboxworld, uploaded them to the var/tmp directory but cannot install them using the /manual install option. There are no instructions on how to do this.


I like the dreambox so far but it has a steep learning curve and all the sites i've visited are very unstructured and contains no newbie friendly howto's. Maybe I've missed something so feel free to guide me in the right direction.

Many thanks,

you've read the Idiot Guide, I assume (not):

Then you should have invested in a cutlery set instead to play with O-Ha

T_G's guide has helped many present and aspiring Dreambox owners, including me, and I don't even have one.

You can do a lot of things with a teaspoon. There are at least 62 common practical uses for it, and Uri Geller has a few more.

P.S just looking at your other post about configuring the mounting, if you'd read it you wouldn't have needed to ask about it. But then again there might be one to spoonfeed you the answer. I am not upset that you are slagging the work of a few dedicated members who have spent a lot of time writing it, but I find it a bit rich coming from someone who has probably not even read it properly

LOL. It's actually not bad if not a little randomly-ordered
