fast cam to avoid freezes?

[globber]

Hi,

is there any difference between the cams about the speed?
What cam would you prefer to avoid freezes?

hi

think it depends more on the server than on the cam itself ; if the server is good -> no freezes
here (satlover) only cccam (free or premium)!

If you mean something else, please be a bit more specific.

If you're using satlover server 3 clines, there will be freezes.
These lines are shared all over the net by traitors, thus overloading the server.
CCcam or mgcamd is what I would recommend, but won't make much difference, if any, on that server

Re: fast cam to avoid freezes?

Different cams behave differently on different receivers. Some would be good with CCcam 2.14, the others would be better with CCcam 2.30 and so on. You would need to ask your server provider about this and see what they recommend. You might need to give them some extra information like type of the receiver and your broadband connection.

I thought there would be differences in configuration. e.g. in some cam-configs i found an option to exclude cards with more than 2 hops - so i can exclude slow cards i hope

but sure - its mostly depends on the server and its connection

totally agree with good member spannersmaner,
in this game of satellite viewing, always best to be motorised as many freezes can occur, so always the option to move dish to lesser used satellites (whatever protacol used) for better viewing options, (less freezes).

Re: fast cam to avoid freezes?

Some of the channels are similar on most of the satellites so as toby suggested move your dish and get the less busy satellite. Hopefully that the channels will have English audio.

Re: fast cam to avoid freezes?

But freezes are not only caused by an overloaded server. Overlouded cards do the same. If there are only a view cards of the provider you want to descramble and many other want that too you will have freezes. As far as I know a card can only answer up to 6 -10 ecms untill the cw changes (depends on provider).
Server 3 and 4 are special gifts for the users and we all have to thank for the work of the server admins day for day. So I can accept freezes in this special service.

hi marian321

correct, when I wrote 'server' in my post #2, I meant the combination of server/cards - just FYI

About other (less busy) sats: one can always take a look of what's there and with which audio -> eg king of sats, lyngsat or equivalents.

further I 100% agree with: very thankfull with all we get here!!

What version of cccam do you recommend to use with a dm500s + satlover servers 1 or 2?

Re: fast cam to avoid freezes?

I am using 2.14 with Server 2 and it works absolutely fine for me just a glitch every now and then. I am using an Openbox. I tried many firmwares and at the end decided that the factory defaults are working fine so never bothered to change firmware. In openbox to change the cccam version you will have to change the whole firmware as CCcam is embedded in the firmware. DM 500S users can answer your question in more details.

it can be that they are the same if you talk about movie channels
but not all understand english
i can f.eks easy write and read it but not understand when i hear it
so i need subtitles
and to that you need the provider for your country

[microchick]

Re: fast cam to avoid freezes?

If people don't understand English then the case is different for them.They really need to have a good server from their local provider or only the ones who are doing the channels of their language. for example if some one is speaking italian language only then they would need to look for a good server of sky italia. The rest of the channels will be no use to them.

Ok the language/subitle possibilities can be discussed further in other thread if you like, here back to the topic as mentioned in title, thank you
