Sky UK / DE icam

Hi all,

Can I ask a random question just for education?

How come Sky DE still works on E2 and Viark but Sky UK doesn't? I thought they had both moved to icam encryption? Or is Sky UK different?

Sky UK SD still works on E2 boxes if you can find the correct server. Now the technical side. Sky UK HD and Sky IT it is much harder to obtain the K1 key which is required to get sharing working as it hidden witin the receivers. Sky DE allow the use of cams and cards so it's easier to obtain. SKY IT is currently working on forever/mars type boxes, SKY UK not working at the moment.

Thanks for this.

So i've found a server that has the Sky SD channels and I can see in OSCAM they are being decrypted, but I'm still getting a blank screen on some channels. Sky Sports SD is working but others like Sky Comedy are showing a blank screen.

Does anyone have any ideas?

Have you enabled streamrelay in oscam.config file

Code:
[streamrelay]
stream_relay_enabled          = 1

or in openwebif oscaminterface config > stream relay settings

I'm not using streamrelay I'm using softcsa.

As I said, sky sports SD clears but not the entertainment channels

So am I but some do not clear with softcsa

if you look at my image of channels the sky channels without padlock wont open unless streamrelay is also enabled.

It depends which caid is used, 0963 (white) cards all channels will open with the same settings.

0960 (red) and 0961 (purple) some channels need 1 setting (at the server / card end) and other channels require different settings, so to get all the channels that are open using these 2 caid's will require 2 different cards or a custom oscam that will allow you to change the setting per sid).

So based on what you have described, I am guessing the server you are using probably has an 0960 card (as these are more common than 0961).

Thank you, yes it looks like it's CAID 0960.

Is there anything I can do with the OSCAM setting my end?
 
Softcsa replaces the need to use Stream Relay.

Both methods will open those channels.
not here it doesn't as I mentioned Softcsa will open ones with padlock stream relay opens all i have listed
dvbapi (client: Enigma2, protocol version: 3) 1979:0963@000000 U&Alibi [BSkyB]

dvbapi (client: Enigma2, protocol version: 3)1C21:0963@000000Sky Witness [BSkyB]

In your screenshot the 3 channels with the padlock, do not use icam, therefore they do not need softcsa or stream relay to open them.

In your stream relay settings, make sure you've cleared out the service list. Otherwise the channel will keep trying to use stream relay.

This caught me out too when I first switched to softcsa.
 
OK, so I've spoken to my provider, they have both 0960 (for sky sports / TNT) and 0963 cards (for all other channels) but my OSCAM just defaults to 0960 instead of trying both CAIDS.

So you need to use the oscam.dvbapi file, and specify sids.

To make it simple.

At the top set the sids for the sports using P:0960:1234 <-- sid number for each sports channel, then under those, set P: 0963

This will then force 0960 for the specified channels and 0963 for everything else.

Restart oscam after.
 
Also make sure you don't have a caid set on the reader (the one the provider gave you), otherwise it will only ever try that one caid no matter what you do.

I don't have any services added in those settings.
