1. Introduction

I have seen many new members lately on this forum. At the same time many similar questions have been raised over and over again. I’m writing this just to make it easier for new members to find answers for their questions about

cardsharing. I will focus on the use of a Dreambox as Sharing receivers and the CCcam protocol. Remember that a newbie is just an inexperienced expert ATTENTION!  All this information is for test purpose and should only be used within your own household.

No one except yourself is responsible for any damage this can cause or any law you might break. 2. Hardware What hardware you’ll need is based on how your house looks like, where you want to watch TV, how big

server you want to have and so on. What we all need is a Dreambox Dreambox of some kind. A computer with internet connection.

If you have the computer in one room and the Dreambox in another room far away you will need either a long Ethernet cable or use another solution to connect your PC to your Dreambox. I can recommend the use of 2 Homeplugs, it’s a really user friendly alternative.

Read more about Homeplugs here: HomePlug Powerline Alliance - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia If you want to be able to handle a large number of peers you need a pc as server, more about that later. 3. Hardware installation

Not much to say here. Put your Dreambox in a suitable place by your TV. Make sure you have enough space around it to let the air circulate freely and cool down the Dreambox. Connect the cable from your satellite dish (if you use a satellite dish) to your Dreambox tuner. Connect the network cable to the Dreambox. Connect power cord. Switch on. 4. Setup your network

To be able to share with another CCcam server or even many servers you need to set up an network. 4.1 Fixed IP PC

First of all you need a static ip in some way. Either you have one from your ISP or you can set one up for yourself. Follow this link for static ip: PortForward.com - Free Help Setting up Your Router or Firewall 4.2 Network setup Dreambox

Now you are ready to setup the ip of your Dreambox. You should have all information needed if you did step 4.1. For example PC ip = 192.168.1.141 Dreambox ip =192.168.1.142 subnet mask = 255.255.255.0 Default gateway = 192.168.1.1 DNS Server = 216.104.63.7 Remember to switch DHCP OFF 4.3 Port forward router

Now you need to port forward all traffic trough one port to the Dreambox ip. Default port is 12000 but this can be changed in the config (CCcam.cfg). For more information about port forwarding go here: PortForward.com - Free Help Setting up Your Router or Firewall 5. Software installation Dreambox

Now we need to have the software to make the Dreambox work properly.

First we flash an image to the Dreambox. 5.1 Flash image There are different images to choose from and it’s up to you what you prefer. But let’s chose a PLI image for this guide.

Search this site for the newest image. When you have downloaded the newest image you need to flash it to your Dreambox. Instructions can be found here: 7025/7025+ Dream-Multimedia-Tv GmbH 800 Dream-Multimedia-Tv GmbH 600 Dream-Multimedia-Tv GmbH 500+ Dream-Multimedia-Tv GmbH 5.2 Install CCcam

Next step is to install CCcam Remember that this might change on newer images but the basics will probably be the same. In the today’s most recent image:

Go to menu/plugins Click green button then click softcams and chose CCcam and install. Remember to change your default cam to CCcam. 6. Software installation (PC) There aren’t really any software that you have to install but there are some that makes everything

easier. 6.1 DNS Updater

This is more or less an must have. An DNS Updater is a software that constantly checks your public ip and links it to your static ip. Many ISP have dynamic ip’s which means that you’ll get a public ip that will change once in a while. It doesn’t mater if you’ll set a static ip in your PC, you’ll still have a public ip that will change.

Therefore you will use a DNS Updater to fix this problem and always link your DNS servername which you will register for to your static ip. There are a few to chose from but I will recommend two:

DynDNS Register here DynDNS Services: DNS, Domain Names, EMail Routing Download updater here http://cdn.dyndns.com/windows/DynUpSetup.exe or if that link does not work you will find it here DynDNS Support No-ip Register for a standard free account here No-IP™ Free - Free Dynamic DNS - DDNS Or if you want to see all services look here Enterprise Managed DNS and Mail Services, 100% DNS Uptime, Domain Registration No- IP™ Download updater here Download a Free Dynamic DNS Update client for your dynamic IP 6.2 Dreambox Control Center (DCC)

You can use this to edit your CCcam.cfg. This is pretty easy, just open the program and insert the ip for your router and Dreambox. You can change the language to English. 6.3 CCcamInfoPHP

This is a software to get statistics and info about your peers and your server. Now download the latest CCcamInfoPHP from this forum. 6.3.1 Versions 0.8.2 and higher.

Open CCcamInfoPHP_v0.8.2\htdocs\config.php in notpad and change the line you see below to match your server info. If you haven’t changed your webinterface port or your Dreambox login all you have to do is type in your

Dreambox ip. Code: $CCCamWebInfo[] = array("192.168.1.xxx","16001","root","dreambox"); // for CCcam webinterface with user and pass Now open the file located in CCcamInfoPHP_v0.8.2\server\Apache\php.ini Find this section Code:

;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;; ; Resource Limits ; ;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;; and change the line: max_execution_time = 30
