BBC biss decoding on 27.5w Intelsat

[Satcat]

I'm in UK so don't need them, but is it possible to get and clear these channels on VU+ solo 2 using vix image? and if so could someone explain how please?
I've been doing a lot of searching, but don't seem able to find an answer.
Thanks.

there are BISS keys that become public every so often.
A lot of ex pats need them to get their Eastenders/Corrie/Emmerdale fix.

yes it is possible but it's not that easy. If you got the will and some patience you will get it sorted eventually.

Plenty of info here and it sure will work with Vix.

Good luck

[Satcat]

Thanks for the link kota. I've got the will and some patience, but unfortunately not the technical ability. I was hoping there was a just simple file available to ftp to box.

There was a thread recently about BISS and compass posted a keys file in that thread.

If these are standard BISS channels it is not difficult to get BISS working with the correct key. The key goes in the constant.cw file and your config file tells cccam/oscam where the constant.cw file is located.

[kota]

I'm afraid it's not that easy. The keys are available and that's probably the easiest part.

The real problem is that the PMT is encrypted and so without a dedicated script (three to be exact) an edited lamedb file with the right pid's and oscam-ymod (in order to get sound on the HD channels) properly configured in your box you won't be able to clear them on any E2 box like the Vu+ you've got.

I know the thread I directed you to is quite extensive and somewhat confusing but if you try hard I'm sure you'll sort it out.

Cheers

[Burnham]

I only have a simple setup, no lamedb, no oscam-ymod (is that a file?) and no dedicated scripts.

So far I have no problems clearing the two ESPN channels on 15°w and Fox Sports on 9°e with just the keys in a constant.cw file.

Perhaps if you need to get every BISS channel out there you need a complicated setup, but so far I've kept it simple and it works for the three channels I have tested.

@kota. Thanks for the link. There is a lot of info there to take in, but to summarise, am I correct in saying that what needs to be done is to ftp the three files to usr/bin, set to atributed 755, make sure I have uptodate keys in softcam file and run oscam_ymod? Or is there more to it than that?

[kota]

you will also need to edit your lamedb with the correct audio pids which are available on the thread too. Otherwise no AAC-HE sound on the HD channels and remember in order ftp the edited file to your box you will need to stop E2, send the file and restart E2 again. Telnet init4, ftp the file and finally telnet init3 or the changes wont take effect.

@burnham sure you could if the PMT wasn't encrypted on this transponder at 27.5W unlike the ones at 15W and 9E you mentioned. Please read again what I said.

heres a lamedb already done
unzip it
use dreambox control centre

telnet init 4

now ftp the lamedb only to
/etc/enigma2
give it attributes 755

back to telnet

telnet init 3

also

To install dvbsnoop, telnet opkg update && opkg install dvbsnoop

[Satcat]

Thanks guys. I think I've got it now, except the "dvbsnoop" bit. Is there a file named dvbsnoop to ftp? or do I just telnet as above. Also I presume is ok to use VUCC for telnet.

[ozzsurf]

you might already have it
look in /usr/bin
if its not there
telnet the above command it will install it

VUCC is ok
any telnet or ftp is ok

[ozzsurf]

also ftp to/usr/bin
find the file
bbc_pmt_starter.sh
edit it with your password like below

then go to openwebif plugin on your box
enable http authentication yes and save

"bbc_pmt_v4.py -t long -d /dev/dvb/adapter0/demux0 -a root:password"

[Satcat]

Thanks ozzsurf. Done that, but not sure how to edit bbc file. Can you help please. My username in file zilla is root and the password is left blank.
#!/bin/sh

scriptName="bbc_pmt_v4.py -t short -d /dev/dvb/adapter0/demux3"
logName=/dev/null
#logName=/tmp/bbc_pmt.log

while [ 1 ]
do
echo "=== starting $scriptName" **** $logName
$scriptPath/$scriptName **** $logName 2>&1
echo "=== $scriptName exited..." **** $logName
done

[ozzsurf]

you have this at the moment

scriptName="bbc_pmt_v4.py -t short -d /dev/dvb/adapter0/demux3"

change it to this

scriptName="bbc_pmt_v4.py -t long -d /dev/dvb/adapter0/demux0 -a root:password"

long mode works on solo2
and you are adding

-a root:password

to the end of the line

use your solo2 password

[Satcat]

OK. In front of scriptName there is "#!/bin/sh" do I leave that or delete it? and the password? I wasn't aware I had one for my solo2, where would I find that?
Thanks.

[ozzsurf]

bbc_pmt_starter.sh
should now look like this
with your solo2 password
in place of the words your-password

[Satcat]

Thanks again ozzsurf. All done, except password. How do I find what/where it is please?

[ozzsurf]

when you use VUCC
what do you put as a password

if you have not got one
use VUCC so that your logged into your box
then go to telnet
type passwd
enter a password twice

now your box is password protected

[Satcat]

Done every thing now including putting new keys in softcam file (I've only put bbc 1 in up to now) but still a black screen.
As well as putting bbc_pmt_starter, I've put in bbc_pmt_v4py and enigma2_pre_start.sh. Do these files need any editing at all? or any other ideas?
My head is starting to hurt.
