Dreambox 500s Setup with Sky into Media Center

Ok, now have my Sky card working inside my Dreambox 500s & channels piped into Media Center!

Everything I needed to do was pulled form these 2 posts:

• install CAM package called CCcam_2.1.2 & newCS1.6 (or newer...)
• Generate BOXKEY from sky box using http://boxkey.exyucs.com/generator.php?lan=en
• edit CCcam.cfg in /var/etc
• add:
• N: [IP of Dreambox] 34000 CCcam CCcam 01 02 03 04 05 06 07 08 09 10 11 12 13 14
• BOXKEY: /dev/sci0 xx xx xx xx
• SMARTCARD CLOCK FREQUENCY: /dev/sci0 3570000
• cd to /var/tuxbox/config
• edit newcs.xml
• add settings as per example in other blog posts...
• cd \var\etc
• chmod 755 CCcam.cfg

Save settings & reboot box.

for better example of newcs.xml that includes tags...

Once you do another full transponder Scan, you should now have access to your Subscription Sky channels. (with valid sky card...)

To connect the Dreambox to media center, use: DVBLink For Dreambox

This setup does no require any additional physical tuners, all connectivity if over IP, amazing really! Setting this up (compared to DVBLink for HDPVR) is a complete breeze.
