cline switch between two receivers

[thyristor44]

Hello
Is there any way I could switch a cline between two dreamboxes in different rooms easily.
Problem is, one cline one dreambox is fine, switch first box off and start second box with same cline thats fine too but forget to switch one off and that is a problem.
Anyone think of a solution that doesnt rely on my memory.
Thanks

Solution could be a manual switch on UTP cable. I do not know if you can buy.

you can use a IR multiplier, and you be able to switch on/off the second reciver from the other room, the down thing is that if someone is switching the reciver off from other room, your receiver will switch off to if those multipliers are not properly installed

Something like a changeover switch? Could maybe do it on the router.

Could be a problem getting switched off from other room

Re: cline switch between two receivers

and why use 2 dreambox?
it should exist some devices which allow you to remotely control the Dbox and receive the signal from it to another TV, don't it?

Re: cline switch between two receivers

The idea is two different people could be watching the separate dboxes on different tvs at the same time but sharing the cline. Only one box could be receiving coded channel, the other free to air. Or one watching free to air and other coded.

Re: cline switch between two receivers

Only think I can think of is to do a script.

But this is still going to rely on you remembering to run it!
It should kill CCcam, Copy the config to the other box, rename the config on first box, and then start it on second box

Then when finished on Box 2 the same script with copy the CCcam.cfg to th other box.

If you get Clever I suppose you could leave the configs on both boxes, check the other box to see if CCam is running, if it is kill it and start it on local box?

That way if a channel isn't clearing you would start the Config, it would in turn check the other box, if the other box is running it, that will kill the config, and then start on the other box.

Re: cline switch between two receivers

you could use CCcam config switcher"" on each box. Its a yellow button plugin.

Then just switch the line on the box you want use and off on the other

That looks a possibility

That looks a possibility too, though a bit complex for my brain

Re: cline switch between two receivers

I use the same setup your talking about.

2 boxes both with CCcam Config switcher, works great. Also using my browser I can access dreabox remote and CCcam.info to check if the other box is using the line and switch it off

Let me know if you need any help

Re: cline switch between two receivers

Yes use the cccam config switcher. In this particular part of software you can decide what line in what reciver you want to be active. For exp. one cline you activate on one reciver and the other one activate on the second one.

To watch the channels at two reciver at the same time you will need a doble LNB with a switch. Then you can watch on one channel one programm and on other reciver some other channel.
Without twin LNB you can do it too but one of the recivers must be turned off.

I hope I can help you.

Re: cline switch between two receivers

The only issue I saw with CCcam switcher you still need to remeber to tuen it off on the Original Box first?

I presumed it was just to prevent the Same IP Address being shown on the remote server resulting in an IP Ban?

The CCcam switcher will work but only if you rember to tuen the config off on BOX1 before turning the config on on Box2.

And that's what I thought the issue was in the first place forggetting to do that!?

Re: cline switch between two receivers

or you could make it simple and check if you have 1 reshare

if not ask your server host for 1 and create an internal share with an F line in cccam
so f line would be
F: box2 box2 3 0 0 { 0:0:4 }

then your c line for the second box would be like
C: 192.168.1.2 12000 box2 box2 no { 0:0:4 }

thats by far the simplest method in my opinion

If I had an internal share would the first box have to be switched on so that box 2 could share. Also which box would have priority with the C line.

I use the same setup your talking about.

How would I switch off a c line on a box using CCcam.info?

even easier if you just switch the protocol, for example the receiver starts to Mgcamd if the protocol is installed, with SScam not involved, you can alternately switch the protocol to the receiver without changing the settings themselves
