Hoping somebody can help me here i've had two days of banging my head against a brick wall ...

Have a Dreambox800HD with OpenATV image.

Until two days ago i had a c line running and everything was fine. Then suddenly the ppv channels went off - i can see the titles but no picture. I presumed it was the server and contacted the seller but he said everything was fine and my line was working perfectly.

No problem - i happen to have a spare box with a different image on but same c-line. I plugged it in and still no ppv. Changed the line to my friend's known working one and still nothing. Re-installed image and softcam etc but still nothing.

The only thing slightly amiss that i've noticed is that in DCC it doesn't connect to the router any more and says telnet login failed. I've checked the network on the box itself and all is fine but it makes sense it's a problem with the router: Everything is in place and i've checked, double checked, triple checked everything is in good order.

Has Virgin blocked me or something??
 
Is your internet working fine? have you tried to reset the rooter to factory defaults? most likey broblem with your internet connection.

Hi yes i put the router into modem only mode just to test it see if it was an issue with the box settings but still nothing. Two different boxes, two different images, both tested with a known working c-line and neither showing ppv channels. I'm stumped. I'll take them to my friend's house on Tuesday and see if they work there - that should narrow it down to the box or the router

Network test all comes back good
 
log into your router and check what devices are connected.

are you using a wired or wireless connection to your router?
 
Hi buzzer it's wired and the router is showing the dreambox as connected
 
wierd
only thing i can think of is that a freind is using the same line at a diffrent isp addy?
 
Hmmm. Don't think so but i'll request a test line from someone and try that - then i'll know for sure. But yeah, very weird. Fine one day, f'd the next, everything seems to be in place - checked, rechecked and checked again.
 
go into your plugins menu and see if you can download any plugins. This will let you know if the box is connected to the net. You can also see what is happening at your severs end by putting your box's ip address into your computers browser and then add :16001 this will let you into the cccam webif.
 
Took both boxes to my friends house. Still no joy with his known working setup. Even put his line on them and nothing! Is this a hardware issue??
 
paid server issue my guess
 
Hi Ferret

Bought a cheap ZGemma box pre installed image etc still the same issue. Really hope you can help - i'm at my wits end with it all now. Cccam web info page says the following:

Current time 14:59:42
NodeID: ccf452a73f6d7f0d
Uptime: 00d 00:00:54
Connected clients: 0
Active clients: 0
Total handled client ecm's: 0
Total handled client emm's: 0
Peak load (max queued requests per workerthread):

I don't know what it means tho? It looked more or less the same for the test line on a different server...

Your line is not installed correctly.

What image are you running ?
 
OpenATV - I put it in usr\keys

The thing is, why would it work one day then not the next? Could the file be corrupted? Shall i recreate the .cfg file?
 
I have sorted it. I am astounded. I am aghast. I am over the moon, yet I am outraged.

My .cfg file was Cccam.cfg instead of CCcam.cfg

I just changed it and now it works.

Days and days of banging my head off a brick wall over 1 letter in lower not upper case.

But why was it working no problem on two boxes for weeks as Cccam.cfg the suddenly stopped??
