open box and sky

[davey69]

can I connect an open box to my existing sky dish then share my own card with myself? so kind of getting multiroom?

Sorry for not asking the correct techno speak.

The openbox will happily connect to your dish and read your card but it can only be used as a client and not a server so it could be used in another room to connect to your card for 'multi room' but it wouldn't be able to do the actual sharing you'd need a dreambox or similar for that mate

there is a server setting in the openbox network settings menu

If you want to watch the same channels on two different receivers, you will need two non-sky receivers. One of which will have to be able to serve.

How to make your OpenBox S9 HD or S10 HD satellite receiver into a server for use by clients for the purpose of sharing your own cards.

1. press menu
2. scroll down to Network Local Setting
3. press ok on remote
4.arrow right to Newcamd Server Settings
5. press ok on remote
6. enter newcamd server parameter
7 servversetting -ON-
8. TCP Port -eg. 13000- this MUST be forwarded in your router
9. Des Key 01020304055060708091011121314 Can be change to your own
10.add user in Newcamd server User manager with green button on remote
11. add username password allow emm yes
12. press yellow to save the configuration .

Now box is setup for server with 1 client and a reboot is always a good idea .

In the Client box with CCcam its the N: line to use for acces the server eg N: seerver_ip_or_dns Port user password 01 02 03 04 05 06 07 08 09 10 11 12 13 14 256
