New Uno 4K

[BestDecoder]

No I'm not using a motorised dish it's Disqet or however you spell it. Strange how you can download certain OFFICIAL plugins and then get no support what so ever. Suppose I'll have to send it back as "not fit for purpose" then? What a dissappointment having spent all that money. Thanks.

99.999 percent of the time it's not the receiver at fault but the user who does not understand how to use it properly. They are not magical plug and play receivers, you the user must accept some responsibility on how to set the thing up and maintain it afterwards.

[Larry-G]

As for OFFICIAL apps if you mean softcams as in your other post then that is and always has been a big grey area touching on illegal in most cases. Until very recently they were not even hosted on the image plugin feeds for this very reason(still would not be if it were upto me).

There are plenty of other less scrupulous forums who will allow you to go into great detail with regard to softcams that you simply wont or cant here.

Hi Larry-G Many thanks for your reply - but that's just my point that if nobody will offer help/advice how on earth am I/we going to learn anything? I don't wish to go to the "other" sites you mention for fear of screwing the box up completely. Strange how on the Solo 4K side somebody mentioned Oscam (which we ALL know is used for *%$ purposes!!) and yet he got answered rather than shot down in flames. So let me put it this way (and hope this doesn't break any rules - which is not my intention) can anybody please explain why my Oscam keeps resetting itself please - making the receiver unuseable/unwatchable? If this isn't allowed please delete this post and I'll go back to having a £300 + door stop as I've gone back to my Solo2 and certainly wouldn't recommend this particular Uno 4K. Thanks again for replying and I certainly hope I'm not breaking any rules.

I know sweet FA about oscam mate but in general you wont get much in the way of help on this forum to set it up softcam wise (It just always been that way) so you will most likely have to go to another forum for help with that. sorry.

Don't worry about screwing the box up, barring flashing the wrong bootloader there is very little you could do that can cause actual harm to it, just make sure you get in the habit of making backups. and as for deleting your post I could not if I wanted to mate (and I don't want to) I am no one on here just a bystander.

Some times simply making a post even when it can't help the user directly, indirectly helps to alleviate their fears (some thing I fear has been long forgotten on this forum).

It dont help that so many sat virgins first box is a brand new box tht is new to the market that will still need a few weeks of driver updates before all problems are fixed.

new sat virgins owners get a simple box to learn on before buying top of the range box's that is aimed at the seasoned sat hobbyist and not the everyday user.

Hi bassethound Is that directed at me? FYI I've been "playing" around with sat boxes for the last 20 years - from Dreambox 800hd and 800hd se along with numerous other makes - but it doesn't make me an expert or have full knowledge of programming. Why should I not have the right to buy a new fully updated box - I've also got a Solo2 and Zero box in bedroom/motorhome but when you read on forums they say Oscam is the most difficult to use/setup so without "expert" tution how will we get anywhere? Maybe it would be better to use your enthusiasm in helping rather than trying to ridicule people who are trying to get to grips with new technology. Thanks

If you have a legit card for your receiver you will get help - if you don't have one then forget it. Don't throw all the toys out at once.

I think 11279 had an issue. Uninstall that one and try a more recent build of oscam.

For softcams to work in OpenViX, transfer to /usr/softcams/, chmod 755
They'll be available to start in softcam manager. There is a restriction on characters in names, cant remember exactly what though.

I don't ridicule people i have been on here for years helping people just pointing out the pitfalls of not knowing how things work before a purchase.

To the poster who is having a go at people for not helping him with Oscam, claiming that all people use it for card sharing, they don't a lot of people use it with legit cards or subscriptions instead of using official cam's that may only be supported in certain receivers...
Having said that, the members on this forum that do use it for cs have gained their information from other forums, there are loads out there.
The reason i have quoted mr basset hound is i had been trying to understand Oscam for a long time with not much luck, then about 18 months ago he posted some basic configs and everything pinged to life and i have been eternally grateful, then with no real help from anybody else i have learned a lot of about how it works by tweaking and trying through the web-if.
Search for bassethound oscam config, read the post and the post it links too.
Start using Oscam with his bascic config's, then come back and thank him, it really is that simple.

I was about to reply that we have no clue what you're talking about; post #1 and no issue is being mentioned at all. But in the next posts it became clear that all there was to it was a not working Oscam.
So you buy a box that just hit the market, claim that softcams are only being used for illegal purposes (which is absolutely untrue), want to return the box just because of a failing softcam, you're afraid to break the box by using help for this from 'other forums', and still you claim to have years of experience with Enigma boxes?
You lost me.....

Just fix this minor issue, be glad with the help you get and have a merry Christmas
