    Default new sat box help

    looking at moving away from the skybox f5s as its constant glitching is doing my head in.

    What boxes do we recommend?

    The Glitching is unlikely to be the box, but more your server provider being shit.

    Its more of its coming up scrambled on some of the channels intermittently. Reading up its seems to be common fault. No other lines to test it though.

    It may be worth buying a cheap server to test, even for a week or so.

    Have you upgraded the FW on the F5s?

    I know they can fall foul to problems, personally I've never had a box issue with all the ones I've used. The Skybox F5s has been rebranded new to an Openbox, they're a little flashier, still get them for circa £45.

    When I get a better set up sorted, I'll be going with a Vu Duo, they seem to be all singing and dancing boxes. But the cost puts me off, (some second hand ones knocking about) I may as well get full Sky for a year for the price of one of these boxes. Given the future of CS I wouldn't want to make any long term investments at the moment.

    Not upgraded the f/w. Might look for somewhere to get a line for a week or two see if there's any difference.

    Price on the vu duo box. Only paying £31 a month for the full package and hd on sky.

    Gonna see if I can find another line. If I do and don't get any scrambled messages I think I'll go bonkers at my provider seeing that he's saying it's the boxes and to change to mgcam or whatever it is. SkyboX can't do that

    Just getting a 48hr trial should be enough to see if it runs fine.

    ive found out how to change to mgcamd. I was reading it wrong it was you cannot update the cam not that it isnt there at all.

    Going to see how that goes. thanks

    Make sure your test line is legit server otherwise you may get worse problems. Use UK SAT as they are reliable and have an auto test line website.

    Download the Cccam.cfg file

    Stick it onto a USB and put it in the box.

    Go into Menu on the box Settings and Upgrade via USB, change the top line from VBS (from memory) to MISC and then scroll down to select file, this will open your USB drive, deleted the .CcCam.cfg file and hit Yellow I think to ADD it it.

    Should run and say new account found, reboot the box and you're done.


    Lot of people go for Newcamd.list now as meant to be me more stable

    You sure your connected to your router either via Wifi USB dongle or Ethernet?

    Go to Menu _ Network Local Setting _ CAMSD Setup _CCCAM Client Setup _ Manage Config Files _ CLick row 1 CCcam.cfg.

    Does your line show there as ONLINE with a green tick?

    The server is down then from where you have your test line from.

    Try getting another test line.
