sly card in vu duo

[Der_Andy_C]

Ha! it works now - guess it just needed to wait for the update code - will scan for new channels when the missus finishes watching her girly programs

 

[Der_Andy_C]

For anyone interested, it is possible to get C4HD and C5HD with a freesat from sky viewing card...

a free to view sly veiwing card will allow it as far as i'm aware but dont quote e my sly card is subscribed so i gt it anyway

 

[Larry-G]

yes thats the point of the FTV sky cards. they allow you to view the FTV channels broadcast over their network.

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.

sorry about the above post, what image should i be using for it to work as i dont have the option to set up the softcam via the menu, stup,softcam/ci
I am using blackhole vuduo 142

 

[canthackit]

on BH images mate you have to load cams and files manually as BH don't include them in their addons.

if you don't know how, or cant, or don't want to do it manually, i'd suggest using VIX 1.3 very good image and it will allow you to D/L all you need.

regards: canthackit

 

[hawaythelad]

what addons do i need

 

[Donnie]

google for a manual install file for CCcam, you will not find it here or on the BlackHole support board but there are plenty of boards that host the files you need.

 

[hawaythelad]

nearly there i have skycard in the machine with chip facing up, is it just a case of wating for a update know.

 

[fintannl]

chip faces down not up

 

[hawaythelad]

face down then just leave it.

 

[hawaythelad]

cheers, sorted now, i got they from the menu converted hey presto working, the number on the sticker was different from the internal menu.

actually you will find the files here, you wont get help setting up the config file however.

 

[hawaythelad]

nearly there my premium channels wont open, any ideas.

 

[Stanman]

search google for SKY boxkey generation

 

[hawaythelad]

worked it out the premium channels need the boxkey, the basic channels don't, so when i put the wrong boxkey in with the chip facing down, they worked, but the premium channels need boxkey. so when i put the boxkey in calculated, from the sticker all the channels work.

just one more question, how can i prevent the card from overheating.

 

[Larry-G]

it wont overheat in a vu.

 

[hawaythelad]

cheers, pint time now

 

[silverfox0786]

chip facing up???

you wanna change it to facing down and you may find that it will work stright away

lol
