As the title sugests I have a dm500 and a tm6800hd in another room, can I setup an internal network to share my cline, I have read that it might be possible but what I need to know is how to configure the ccam files to do it, so i have an existing cline with a user:pass in my dm500, do I then setup an f line in the same box and ccam file of my boxes IP on the network, e.g f:192.168.0.24 user:pass, then put this as a cline in the other box c:192.168.0.24 user pass will that do it?
 
Im not 100% sure, I think you have to allow reshares on the F line of the server hosting the card which would then allow your client to reshare however many hops you have allowed.

I will have a read up on this...might come in useful..

You can,t share the line m8..a single C line will not split to 2 receivers..cheers satcat
 
no m8, you can loop it through from box 1 to box 2.. but box 1 would need to be in standby , then box 2 could view ..ok..hope thats helped abit,cheers satcat
 
If you have the "main" box on in standby, cant you do this ?

In your Main box add this:

F: User Pass 2 0 0 {0:0:2}

In the box upstairs:

C: 192.168.1.xx 12000 User Pass{0:0:2}


Looking to do this myself so I can have multiroom on 1 CLine, but not tried it yet
 
You could enter the same c line on both boxes but make sure only one box is switched on at a time.

Unless your c line provider allows u to reshare (unlikely).

Maybe you can ask them for a reshare, if they agree you'll need to setup one of the boxes to reshare.
 
ok I thought as it's an internal network it might be possible.

Unless both boxes were always tuned to the same channel then each box will be asking for a totally different set of data. Getting that data would require you to have two access slots to the server (ie, 2 clines or the ability share a cline at least 1 hop beyond your 1st dreambox).

Some servers have configs that allow a pseudo-mutiroom setup by allowing 2 channels to the same IP address at the same time (ie 2 clines to the same IP) but its something you would have to specifically request (and pay more for).
 
Think of you two boxes as if they belong to two different people but in the case of the second box you do not need to share anything back to the first box. I would set up the first box as you normally would but in the case of the second box I would insert an fline in the first box and provide a cline from the first box which would be inserted into the second box. This configuration would be assuming that you had an option to reshare from your first box.
