Or instead of messing around with plugin-drivers that only work for certain dongles, I was going to opt for a more 'stable' option, like hooking up an external-router Netgear Trek - Just like my oldschool SkyHD 2TB box. The Solo2 looks oh-so-very sleek, but what's tearing apart me from the inside is the fact that I priced up the Solo2 w/ an internal Samsung 2.5" 2TB HDD and a half-decent wifi-dongle. That was my first option till I did some digging. No, I don't want to think about setting up a motorised satellite - One step at a time!
If I was going to take the plunge I'd probably buy some of the smaller receivers to install in at least 2 other rooms. Just in-case you're wondering, I've got an octo-LNB. Question 2: What 'image' would you recommend? I've heard ViX is great, from a usability PoV. Question 1: What would you guys recommend as a good linux based PVR It sports a fairly rapid CPU coupled with plenty of DDR3 and a nice chunk of flash memory. I've been looking at the options and it seems that something like the Vu+ Duo2 actually appears future proofed. Now, just days later, after mastering the art of tuning, he's stumped up £180 for one of the 'old' Vu+ Duo boxes. Really, he only bought it because it was cheap and wanted to introduce himself to the idea of using a non-Sky box. He says it works, but the EPG and overall usability is brutal. My mate just rushed out and bought an OpenBox V8S which he plans to use as a 'multiroom' box. But then again, you can't really judge hardware based on its' flashy website! The only genuinely legitimate 'brand' I've really seen is Vu+. These random Chinese/Korean boxes can make you a little weary.
I've been eyeing up a few Linux-based boxes, but as always. I'm looking for something a little more flexible, or robust. I've just bought a Panny AX802 as well, which has a FreesatHD/Freeview receiver built in - All I can say is that: I was fairly impressed with their effort. All-in-all, I'm spending about £100 a month on Sky and periodically, they will send me a letter telling me that they need to increase my bill to provide a better service - And only offer the the same services, at a sub-par bitrate.
I also have their 'Fibre Pro' service + Pretty much all the TV channels minus sports. I just feel like I'm being ripped off - and have been for quite a long time. Channels will appear on the list.I've been on the fence over Sky TV for quite a long time, but I've decided that I'm going to cancel it.
