OpenATV is the most popular Enigma2 firmware in 2025 — it's actively maintained, has the widest plugin support, and is the recommended image for CCcam use on Dreambox, VU+, Zgemma and all modern satellite receivers.
Why OpenATV for CCcam?
- Regular updates — OpenATV 7.x adds CCcam 2.3.x support natively
- Large plugin repository with all softcams pre-packaged
- Stable CCcam plugin maintained by the community
- Built-in softcam manager — no manual file editing needed
- Works on all major receivers: Dreambox, VU+, Zgemma, Octagon, GigaBlue
Step 1 — Flash OpenATV (if not already installed)
Download the correct OpenATV image for your receiver model from the official site. Use Balena Etcher to write it to a USB drive. Insert USB and reboot your receiver — OpenATV installs automatically.
After installation, complete the initial wizard:
- Select your language and time zone
- Configure your network (Ethernet recommended for CCcam stability)
- Run satellite scan for your dish position
Step 2 — Install CCcam Plugin via Plugin Browser
- Press the Menu button on your remote
- Go to Plugins → Plugin Browser
- Press the Green button (Download)
- Navigate to Softcam category
- Select CCcam 2.3.x and press OK to install
- Reboot when prompted
Step 3 — Add C Lines via Softcam Setup
OpenATV 7.x includes a built-in softcam configuration editor. No SSH needed:
- Go to Menu → Setup → System → Softcam Setup
- Select CCcam and press Configuration
- Add a new entry for each C line provided by CCcam Power
- Enter: Server address, Port, Username, Password
- Save and exit
Alternatively, edit /etc/CCcam.cfg directly via FTP (FileZilla):
C: server.cccam-power.com 12000 youruser1 yourpass1
C: server.cccam-power.com 12001 youruser2 yourpass2
C: server.cccam-power.com 12002 youruser3 yourpass3
C: server.cccam-power.com 12003 youruser4 yourpass4
Step 4 — Start & Auto-Start CCcam
- Go to Menu → Setup → System → Softcam
- Select CCcam from the list
- Press OK to set as active softcam
- Enable Autostart so CCcam starts automatically after reboot
Step 5 — Verify via CCcam Info Page
Open a web browser on your PC/phone and go to:
http://[receiver-ip]:16001
You should see your connected C lines, cards, and ECM response time (should be under 100ms with our server).

Troubleshooting on OpenATV
- Channel still scrambled: confirm CCcam is running — green indicator in softcam menu
- CCcam won't start: check
/tmp/CCcam.logfor error messages via SSH - Frequent disconnects: check router firewall — port 12000–12003 must be open outbound
- Wrong receiver IP: find it in Menu → Setup → System → Network → Adapter Settings
