open box v8

A Dummies Guide
for
Setting Up A Skybox/Openbox/Libertview Satellite Receiver.


Requirements

Skybox/Openbx/Libertview Receiver. PC, USB Key,Ethernet cable,Router,

Image file (.abs),channel list (.dbs),Cccam.cfg

Image file can be downloaded from www.skybox.cc or www.yojiatech.com

Channel list can be downloaded from www.techkings.org

Set the box up initially by attaching LNB cable from dish to LNB inlet on back of box [not to Loop inlet]

Attach ethernet cable from router to rear of box.

Connect TV to box yia HDMI lead.

Finally plug in box and power up [on front screen of box it will show LOAD--then L100--STRT--channel number]

Most new boxes are sold with up to date image firmware installed.and possibly an up to date channel list.

The TV screen will show the Skybox Logo then an on screen channel identity--if channel is a no show then press OK button on remote and locate a FTA channel from presented list.

FTA channel should now show--use exit button on remote to remove onscreen display.

Now you wish to watch those hidden encrypted channels which people pay hundreds of pounds to line the pockets of the Murdoch Mafia.

You need to purchase a "Line" which is a line of code from a payserver allowing access to the above mentioned channels. [this is illegal and known as cardsharing,but, everything we do nowadays is deemed illegal so what the heck--]

You will find plenty of payservers via a quick google, try to obtain a test line before you buy as server quality and costs vary [Don't buy gift from e-bay].

So you have your line---it sometimes comes as a ready made file or as a line of code.

If in fileform then you need to format a USB key to FAT32 via your PC and insert the file into the USB root.

If a line of code then put onto notepad and name as CCcam.cfg then save as ALL file. Now do as above and install on USB.

Now insert USB key into rear of box.

CLINE INSTALLATION

1: Go to main menu

2: Select Network

3: Select "CCcam Client Setup"

4: Select 'Update files by usb'

5: In new window, highlight 'CCcam.cfg', press green button on remote (ADD). This will place a tick by it, then press yellow button on remote (READ)

6: Once finished, select 'Manage Config Files' and on new window select cccam.cfg again

7: A new page comes up with your cline on it, press green button on remote to make it active (tick should appear by it) Exit out of all menus to tv and reboot box, select a pay channel.. it should clear, if not go back into menu, select Network, then 'Network Setup', and turn DHCP on and then click apply..

8: If channel still doesn't clear, reboot box and router by unplugging both from power and plugging back in (router first)

channel should now be showing---if not then you have either a dodgy line or a dodgy box---try another test line --if no go then return box as faulty.

How to enter Nline on Skybox/Libertview and Openbox, manually.

You can view all channels from your line server on Skybox/Libertview/Openbox by installing the Nline in the same place as you would install the Cline (CCcam.cfg) but, it is far better to install it into the MGCamd setup option which will usually result in a more stable mode.

Note:- if still using Cline, disable before attempting to use Nline/

1- Press the following selections via remote to access MGCamd option.

[menu]

[Network settings]

[MGCamd Plug Setup]

[Manage Config Files]

[newcamd.list]

[now press the green button on your remote to add line]

2- You will now see a set of boxes where you will enter

the Nline using your remote control.

3- This is a sample Nline----[for tutorial purpose only]

[Host] ----grimreaper.no-ip.com

[Port] ----12000

[User] ----reaper

[Password] --3455666

[Des Key] ----this is already filled in.

4-Once your Nline details have been entered into the boxes. click the yellow button on screen.,

then---

Press the exit button on the receiver remote twice,
and then--

Press the on/off button on your remote, keeping it pressed for 3/4 seconds so as to reboot the receiver.

After the receiver reboots, go to the channel list, choose an encrypted channel i.e. Sky Sports or Sky Movies and it should decrypt for your viewing pleasure..

CHANNEL LIST

Now check for channel list by pressing FAV on remote--if a favourite list appears then great, if not then download one to your pc from aj sat then FORMAT32 a USB key and add the tp_prog.dbs file.

Now____to add the list to box. Press Menu on remote, and highlight ''TOOLS''

Select 'Upgrade by USB'

In new window, use arrow keys to change top line to 'MISC FILES'

Move down to 'SELECT AND UPGRADE'

A new window opens, select 'TP_PROG.dbs' press green button to place a tick by it and then press yellow button to upgrade

: There should now be a completed channel list on your box separated into categories eg 'movies', 'sports' entertainment etc etc

And now you can go to the pub in peace while she watches Eastenders or some womanly progs.

There are other bits to play with on these boxes but you learn as you go on.

Join a forum such as Techkings and get advice.

Use the net to learn more about these simple toys.

One last note---keep a back-up of your CCcam on file

Hi I have had my openbox for 4 years, a few weeks ago all my channels scrambled, have updated channel list but struggling to update image, says USB is a mismatch. I have tried a few test clines all set up ok but all offline and still scrambled channels, changed my Ethernet cable, All the info on the forum is a couple of years old so I am wondering a) Is my box just knackered with age, or b) are there updates that I just can't find.

Why not read the forum a bit more and you will see that sky has removed most of its channels in an attempt to stop cardsharing.
So you are in the same boat as many others.
