Why would anyone use a cam in a box that is capable of doing the same with softcams?, or am i missing something.
Why would anyone use a cam in a box that is capable of doing the same with softcams?, or am i missing something.
my thoughts exactly
great minds.............. lol
as for a good guide , peggle has posted lots of good info , ably assisted by myself , goodolddad , zad , daone and several other ppl
I have been running juliet006 with mgcamd version 1.23 and copying just the softcam into the keys folder after a keychange , tps updates everyday no problem , and premiere , d+ and cabo are working fine
its not perfect , but nothing ever is , but I have no complaints in comparison to other equipment of simlar prices , and I am sure there are plenty of goodies just around the corner
in the meantime I have been updating tm1500 , clarketech 1500 and samsung 9500 so the old ones still work whilst I play with this new toy
as for multiboot , didnt understand any of it but hope to in the future , and hope the onboard video playback gets fixed in future releases
now if I could get my s** card in this box , a twin tuner for watching and recording , and somehow hook up a season interface to keep her indoors happy then that would be an achievement
either that or buy another box and teach her to operate it !!!
its better to keep away friend couse to much crashes and the image is not so stable

Easier to program if your box is not networked.
TSM can often get more channels than softcams.
More to the point is why does the TM-9100 have a CAM slot if it does not work properly?
I may have to reprogram my old dust covered trex and see what happens, on second thoughts maybe not. I did have troubles with it in my dapci maybe it is the way technomates poll the cam slots.
I appreciate all your efforts and im not having a dig at anyone, but what im saying is what is a softcam maybe we should have a forum to explain what everything does and what excactley is an EMU , and what it does for example as i say its not a dig, just somwere to get the knowledge for these terms, by the way ECHELON you have been most helpfull and i appreciate all your work and all who have contributed
A softcam is an EMU.
It's called a softcam because it is a software program.
The softcam EMUlates a hardware CAM, so no need to use a Dragon CAM or other hardware CAM.
The encryption keys can be updated by editing a text file.
Thanks Much Appreciated, Just Annoying When You Have A Cam It Does Freeze Up ,might Be Asking More Questions Soon , As I Say Thanks To All Who Have Put Time Andeffort ,hope To Put A Posative Input One Day.
there is a softcam key files , containing the keys , which is updated daily
this softcam goes into var/keys/ and keeps them up to date , opening d+ as well as others
9100 now £99, a bargain if only you want to further your knowledge.
Now I am suspiciousif the box is improving why drop the price
does sound a bit strange but it may be down to a price war now since this has to be the most popular piece of sat equipment in agesNow I am suspicious
Bet they are still making a good profit though.
Most of the cost is in design, & tooling the production line etc.
Once this is done they can churn out these type of box's for just a few pounds.
If sales are then many times the previous level they are quids in.
On the other hand the box's were too much bother & they are flogging the remainder cheep just to get rid of them......
Time will tell......
must admit very tempted at £99. Usually if a price comes down as much as this its because of too much stock or most likely a new box is just about to come out.
Anyone know if somethings happening at Technomate?
Cheesey
to be honest since i now have my head around it (and seems fairly stable for me however not using the pvr side of things) im well happy with my purchuse.
it can open tps prem and d+.
more than worth it, not to mention the fact that nearly all the dm software will run on this makes it more than futureproof even if technomate no longer manufacture the product.
there is already loads of people with this box that are helping to improve it along with the teams that are making the images as well.
dont think this is going to be a short lived box unless they bring out a new version that also has hd support. but to be honest with you this would not make any differance to me as this is more of a project of opeing the channels not viewing them
Maybe they are stopping production, they could open the source let the lads play and sell ten times more
i am going to buy one :O
is this a good replacement for a dm500?
bit more of a headache to start off but yes it could be concidered as a good replacement
just ordered one for the bedroom for the time being and to see if it takes off and to replace my dm500 downstairs
just thought tho, how can i use both a technomate and dreambox to control the same motor?
is this possible with a switch or something, i completley forgot before i ordered, would of liked to have control from both box's
is this possible?
loopthru will allow either box to operate a motor , but the main should be on standby when operating the slave
or you could have a twin or quad lnb and just use one box to drive the motor
or use a manual A-B switch
