You need to download and install CCCAM from here http://www.world-of-satellite.com/showthread.php?5921-Cams-for-ViX-Team-images and than FTP a cccam.CFG file to the box.
For the card to be read you need the box and than need to enter this into the CFG file. If you search the web for boxkey, you will find how to do it, its such a long time since I did it I cant recall.
You need to enter the box key in the CFG like this depending on which slot you put your card in.

card reader /dev/sci0
BOXKEY: /dev/sci0 XX XX XX XX
or
card reader /dev/sci1
BOXKEY: /dev/sci1 XX XX XX XX

Vix does not have the CFG file and post 9 here explains how to do it.

If you do not have premium channels ie movies and sport than you do not need the box key just install CCCAM and FTP a config file to the box and it will read it for you.

the box key is from your sky box.

Step by step guide, presuming you have an FTP program on your PC and know how to use it, and that you simply want to use your sly card in your VUduo and not do anything dodgy.

1) Work out your box key

On the back of your sly box is a 17 digit number

Ignore the first 6 and the last  1 number, that gives you a 10 digit number.

For example, if your 17 digit code is
 
1E200506858456748

You would ignore the first 6 (1E2005) and the last one (8) 
which would leave you with the 10 digit number 0685845674

google for a hex convertor (or use your calc if it has one),place the 10 digit number in and convert it to Hex.

The above example would give 28E12CAA which is your box key entered as (note the spaces)

BOXKEY: /dev/sci0 28 E1 2C AA

If your box key turns out at only 7 characters add a 0  (zero) to the beginning of the number to make it 8 characters long.

2) Install CCCam2.1.4 (something like Menu, Plugins, Download plugins, cams)

3) On your PC create a text file called CCcam and enter the following two lines

BOXKEY: /dev/sci0 12 34 AB CD
SMARTCARD CLOCK FREQUENCY: /dev/sci0 3570000

/dev/sci0 is presuming you are using the top slot for your Sly card.

Type it exactly as in the above, case sensitive, replacing "12 34 AB CD" with your box key.

save the file.

4) You will now have a file called CCcam.txt which needs to be changed to CCcam.cfg

Start Windows Explorer (Start, All Programs, Accessories, Windows Explorer) then click on "Documents"

Click on the "Organise" tab followed by "Folder and Search Options"

Click on the "View" tab and untick the box to the left of "Hide extensions for known file types"

Click "OK"

Right click on your newly created CCcam.txt file, select "rename", highlight the txt and change it to cfg

You will get a warning message saying something along the lines of "If you change file types, file might become unusable, are you sure..." click "Yes"

5) FTP your newly created CCcam.cfg file to the /etc directory on your VUduo box.

6) Shut down your VUduo box, insert your Sly card into the top slot (I made the mistake of thinking I had the top slot but as I was looking at the box from above, I actually had the lower slot, so double check)

7) Power up your VUduo box.

8) Menu, Setup, Softcam/ci

Softcam Setup

If there's nothing after "Active cam"

Select Cam: CCcam2.1.4

Press green button to start it.

Press blue button to autostart it

You are done. It should now automatically start every time you reboot and you should now have access to your channels.

Hi,

I've followed these instructions and am having problems accessing the premium channels such as Sky1 etc. In most cases the picture's just black and sometimes I get a message saying "Service not found. SID not found in PAT". I can see that CCcam is started and set to auto restart.

Any ideas?

Thanks

Just a tip:
If you want to make the above CCcam.cfg file, then use notepad in windows.

After entering your info (above post), then go to "Save As"
(I normally select to save on the "desktop" so the file is easy to find, and to drag and drop via ftp etc)

To save as the correct .cfg file instead of a .txt file then press the drop down "Save As Type" (which will be set too TEXT DOCUMENTS (*.txt)
And select "all files (*.*)"
Name your file CCcam.cfg and it will be correctly saved to your desktop!

 

[rob76]

The file itself seems fine mate. I used textpad and file extension is correct.

 

[rob76]

had my bouquets messed up proper. Reflashed the image and setup everything from scratch and it's all up and running now. Practice makes perfect eh

next is configuring epgs, skins etc.

Thanks for the help on this

one thing i found out just to help ppl is you dont need to search for a hex converter your windows calculator will convert it too all you do is go to calc switch to scientific calc then type in your 11 didgit serial number then click on hex and hey prestow its in hex

Hey guys,

Do you need to put the Sly card back in the Sly box at any stage. I heard they deactivate if not put in the Sly box once in a while.

Thanks

 

[Larry-G]

that depends on which softcam you use. some people i know do put their card back into their original box once a month or so to update their rites some however use the softcam it self to update the rites.

 

[Palinkat]

Do you know if cccam auto updates?

 

[Sicilian]

Do you know if cccam auto updates?

CCcam2.1.3 onward will auto update if setup correctly.

 

[jrbmw]

my fta card has stopped updating.Put in the sky box and it says need a replacement card.

Regards jrbmw

 

[Palinkat]

CCcam2.1.3 onward will auto update if setup correctly.

Thanks, any information/post on how to set it up correctly? Cheers

 

[kegrka]

Hi so any tips to open premium channels as al my sly chanels open but these,can i enter my PIN into the config or is there more to it than that

 

[fintannl]

as sicilian says card autoupdates from cccam 2.1.3 onwards. if you use cccam and newcs then you need mgcamd client to do the updates for entitlements. kegrka, if your card is subscribed to premium channels all you need to do is supply the correct boxkey in your cccam.cfg

I tried this method with my Freesat from sky card, but it's not working, could be due to any of the following issues:

- The tuner on my old sky box died a month or two ago, and my card hasn't been in a connected box since then - perhaps it expired?
- The CCcam version running on my duo is 2.2.1, not 2.1.4
- There was already a CCcam.cfg file on the duo a good few kb big - should i have just added the lines to it?
- Do i need to tell the duo manually to send certain channels through the card?

If it makes any difference I am running OpenPLI v1.0 2010-09-06

Does anyone have experience of this and know if channels like C4HD will work with the freesat from sky card?

Any ideas?

Cheers,

Andy
