Do all channels such as the shopping channels have the doller sign?!

What are some of the channels you are trying to open that don't work?!

the channels without dollar signs are the likes of preaching, teleshopping,foreign stuff. before i bought this package i was told you could view english channels, prem footy, movies in english but all these are scrambled. ive followed what ppl have said and its making no difference

uhaaaaaaaaaaaaaa so now the issue is clear ;)

the ones with the dollar sign are scrambled channels which need a subscription and so u'll b able to view. the ones without are the FTA (free to air) channels that can be watched normally without a subscription or any addons.

yes this is my first linux. ive been at it for 8 days now trying to line up a satellite dish then finding out that theres alot more work to be done with the box itself is pretty daunting. if it wasnt for yourself and the rest of the forum i would have plugged the dvd player back in.

Hi

First I do not have it.

I am sure you can see also scrambled channels...from many sat. positions..no doubt about it.
This receiver is taking a connection to net.

So maybe You have done something wrong?

And spiderbox is not a linux receiver but using servers "outside" and they are called "gift channels"

So it can also use cccam as a client,not server.

Yes You have been ripped off if £300 is about the receiver.

Did You get anything else with it..dish..motor..lnb..etc..

OK.
So I think now you have not been ripped off.

I think You to have to go through all posts in this thread:

And try again...can you get connection to net .?

Then maybe somebody else can help you.

Hi

Well...that can be little bit difficult to seller.

Forum sponsor is not selling easily vu+ with c-lines, I think.

As an example.

To apply the patch / gift look at the sticky's in this section, also remember a gift is what it says, a gift. The gift patch has nothing to do with the retailer where you purchased your Spiderbox.

as jusaju says this is not a linux box.
to get gift/service+ channels you need to be connected to router with a networkcable.
and then you go to network in menu and press 1111 on your remote to open hidden options.(you know hidden menu is opend when key edit appears over network.
now go in to network and press/left arrow on remote to on.
go down to ip setup and turn that to auto,
now go down to service+/nuevoxtreme and turn them on and register them if you have both that is (newer boxes after aug 2010 only have service+)
now do a reboot and you should get those channels.
if you can try thor 1w try for ex: discovery national geo canal+ swedish package.
if you in future do factory reset dont forget to save your channellist on usb first, to save press green button in usb menu.
