i cant view channels why????

[seanmizen]

hi everybody im brand new to this satellite thing but ive found the last 5 days interesting. i have set the dish up correctly to my spiderbox 7000, all satellites respond with motor perfectly and i have hundreds of channels the only problem and its a BIG problem all channels listed have a dollar sign nxt to them and dont work. there is a few channels work but the likes of teleshopping channels. if anybody can help i would be very grateful

have you loaded a patch to box???
have you activated hidden menu by pressing 1111on remote standing on network???
have you tried reboot both box and router???
does nuevoxtreme/service+ says connected???

[seanmizen]

chris-k, ive done everything you said and all is the same. i still needed to do the things you said but ive still got them dollar signs. saying that when i was going thru the connection procedure i was flicking thru and there was boxes were you needed passwords to activate cccams????? is this something i need to look at??

[seanmizen]

also when i first set everything up i factory restored the box would this make a difference?????

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?!

[seanmizen]

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.

[seanmizen]

so i need to subscribe? ive paid £300 for a freeview box. sorry ripped off

[grtmoby]

you paid for the quality, features..... and a lot lot more.

is this ur first ever linux box

[seanmizen]

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.

[grtmoby]

easy m8
trust me the box is awesome, just read mor and ask (within the rules)

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.
