Guide. Long for some, maybe short for others First things first - without Fish77/Trada/Teapot the below wouldn't be possible as they are the pioneers here on this. I just took interest and did the below. It's not the only way to skin this cat but it's a way that worked for me and should for any first timer coming into this. I can't support anyone but will help where poss on setup questions but to be fair forums outside of here are much better

Getting started1 - Buy Box
Many available. I used ET9000. I bought from here simply because they would load image for you.
www.sat-shop.co.ukimage selected - Egami. Why Egami? - supposed to look pretty good. It does!
2 - await arrival
3 - Add a hard drive. WTF? a what drive? why?
Ok - you don't have to if you don't know how. when you buy the box ask for one to be added. If you don't then get a SATA hard drive of at least 1gb. open up the box and install (the sat shop guys send the cables with it). Those who understood this step will know what to do with the cables :-) If you want to record tv you need a hard drive
4 - connect the sat cables, power, network cable from box to back of your internet router/modem and hdmi and then switch the bad boy on
Initial SetupPretty self explanatory in regards to language. Now for the satellites bit do BOTH tuner A and tuner B if you put 2 cables into the back. Else just to tuner A
what to select? You need Astra/Eurobird 28.2E. This is what all sky dishes point to. Click through the rest of it and let it do its thing. Both tuner A and tuner B if you've got 2 cables coming in. This bit does take time so have a cuppa while waiting.
once complete you'll see a shit load of channels. Eventually you'll see some you recognise and if they are free to air you'll have a picture!
Advancing from the free to air to the card sharing stuff1 - This overview is good
http://www.world-of-satellite.com/showthread.php?8704-How-to-Install-CCcam-MGCamd-Others-on-Duo-Solo-Uno-ET9000-ET5000-ViX2 - From the overview you'll see you need Filezilla. The Control Centre (see download list) has a button called Connect. There is no password so type in the IP address of the set top box and press it :-)
3 - Once you know connected, press FTP and it will launch Filezilla
4 - go to where you unzipped the cccam stuff. from here copy across cccam_2_2_1_egami_E2.tar.gz to the tmp folder on the set top box. Look at pics for how this should be
5 - Once done then press Green button on your remote and go to addons (off the top of my head its green button then red) then select Manually add (you should see the CCcam file there then follow options to install)
6 - Breathe. Most of the hard stuff is done
7 - CCCam.cfg file. Very small yet very powerful. Now you need a card sharing server to connect to. I went here
http://euro-kings.com/vb/forum.php and here
http://euro-kings.com/vb/forumdisplay.php?38-Verified-Premium-CCcam. At this point you're on yer own as to who/what you go for. As per earlier advice from others request a test line (free). Once you have this save it as cccam.cfg and save it to the /etc folder on your set top box (see pic)
8 - Back to the box. On your remote press the blue button and then select cccam from the top. select save and you'll see some funky animation and the screen will reappear and you'll be all set. Go through the now very very long channel list and pick some of the pay channels such as the Sky Sports HD ones. If you have a picture you're set
Channels - how to resolve this big mutha of a listFollow this -
http://www.sat-universe.com/showthread.php?t=132625It's a little tricky but just note that you'll be enigma 2 ver 4. The lamedb stuff it references will be wherever you unzipped that catseye thingy to. To be fair channels needs its own super tutorial but search around and you'll find your level. I'll try and create something of a simple write up for this too
MiscWhat does inside of cccam.cfg look like? This bugged me no end but its simple enough
