Re: Data grabbing with dreambox

the internet charges are kind of high I would be interested in getting a cheaper option. I have heard about this but unfortunately the guy who was supposed to hook me up didnt come through. I have a clone of the dreambox 500s. Is it possible to get internet via this method using skygrabber or Skynet?

Re: Data grabbing with dreambox

Can someone explain me what exactly is that?
What is the Skygrabber or Skynet and how a dreambox can be connected with them?
Is there any plugin available for this work?

There are many "data" transponders that are continuously sending data with tcp/ip protocol (avi, mp3, zip, rar, iso ... whatever).
Skygrabber is the pc sowtware that allows to receive this data and assemble it in files.
AFAIK there's no way to know what you are going to receive in a given moment (it's a kind of "blind download") and DM can be used in combination with this sw in case your pc has no dvb card.

for some people its a hobby. Just for fun.

You receive a lot of data but you have to select it. Sure its a wide range of interests and depending on the satelites beams.

Re: Data grabbing with dreambox

I got this reply from _support@skygrabber.**

How do I connect Skyg to dreambox over wireless network? Which ports to use or do I have to set up port?

I think it's not work in this version. This feature will be in the future versions.

Re: Data grabbing with dreambox

So the current version 3.1.0 you can enable it but it does not work.

Everyone is trying for nothing, thats nice!

Re: Data grabbing with dreambox

Which port does the dreambox use to connect? I have tried all known ports.

[gianni253]

Re: Data grabbing with dreambox

It' port that dreambox uses for streaming.
It should be 8080 or 31339

Re: Data grabbing with dreambox

Thanx . I missed the Dreambox Provider in left upper window. I have it connected now, but still no downloads.
I take it the Dreambox must be on data frequency to provide signal.

Re: Data grabbing with dreambox

I suggest you to double check transponders and services that are proven to be working fine.
