Hi, I used to be massively into the sat scene, but about 10 years ago I moved into a building that was wired up to cable so I had little choice and had to give up my beloved dish!
I am now moving house in the new year and I will be in a similar situation but vice-versa... I can only get sat and no cable! lol... So I have dusted off my DM800HD Clone and it still works. Updated to latest image and sim, but i think I will certainly be investing in a new receiver should I decide to go down the limux route.
anyway, as I have been out of the game for so long, I have a few questions:
1.) Can you still cardshare with sly? I see many posts with locked channels etc. I will have my own sly card with movies, but like to CS to get the sports channels. will this be a problem?
2.) Is there a receiver that will enable multiroom functionality? With my dreambox i used to be able to stream to my laptop, but what I ideally want is the receiver to be able to stream to multiple devices, ie, my ipad and also to another TV via my firestick and an app or android box?
3.) user interface and functionality... Any new device has to be simple enough for the family to use, but allow me to tinker and play with settings at the same time. Are there some better than others, or are they all much the same and it just depends on the image/OS that is installed?
4.) IPTV... Ive looked into the IPTV thing, but it seems streams can be unreliable and that service providers are cracking down. Is this a viable option? I feel I'd rather pay for my legit Sly card and have my own setup rather than relying on an external source, but if someone knows a reliable IPTV supplier, I'd be intrested.
5.) Shall I just bypass all the ball ache get a Sly Q multiroom setup??
