@AJT

AJT has one of these mate im sure he will give you a review when he sees this.

Yes I do have one..overall a good little box and does everything it is meant too..I found the mb factory image was best for the box nice and clean and has a video boot animation...
Although it has a decent size processor I find the box slow and sluggish compared to other similar boxes..no matter what image was installed..I tested every available image for this box...
Side by side with TM Nano the nano was 3-4 times quicker in zapping and menu navigation.
Picture quality was as good as any other box.
Well over all this box does the job but left me disappointed with the overall speed..front display works fine showing channel and time whilst in standby.
If I had the choice I would go for nano or another box of similar price yet if speed is not an issue for you then this box Will do the job...miracle box promises plenty but delivers little.

hi aj thanx for the info mate does this box do cable cccam

i think one of the boxes has plug and play tuners so i guess it will set up for cable with the right image.

cheers m8 i will look into getting 1 ..

I have a MB Premium Mini HD, which has one fixed S2 tuner and a removable/swappable 2nd tuner. It is a bit slow at times, and on occasion crashes (if you have 2 things recording and trying to do lots in the menu), but other than that its pretty decent. And has good image support from what I can see.

Ive ordered a PREMIUM MINI HD to use with my motorised dish for the 3pm kico offs when the season starts. I wanted a nice little tiny box to sit next to my official sky receiver.

Now does anybody know if I can swap the tuner in this to a cable one should I fancy doing so?

You can not swap tuners as one tuner is fixed..but you can add one
I liked the look of this tuner as well and found the M.B image based on pli better than Vix..
Not the quickest box zapping and navigating wise but does the job okay.

Thanks mate, Im literally only using it for my motorised setup as missus made me get rid of the vu duo, too big!

Do you know if you can have a sat feed and cable feed going in at the same time (should I add a cable tuner)

And would it work with both sat and cable channel lists should I need it to?

Then why not plump for the Zgemma H1 version with cable tuner

theres nothing wrong with zgemma that's what ive got at present I was looking if there was a better cable box which I could record more programs and do a series link like TiVo box does

You can do series link on any Enigma2 receiver including the Zgemma, If your wanting a dual tuner DVB-C receiver you will have to up your budget

Ive just bought a miracle box mini+ dual tuner. I have vm and I'm have sly fed into same room as the box. Is this box easy to set for CCcam and mgcams? I already have a zgemma star h1 box and have had nothing but a great deal of difficulty trying to set it up. Keeps losing connection and channels all the time that's one of the reasons I'm upgrading to a better box, Thanks for any help with this matter.roud:

Your going from 1 Linux Enigma2 receiver to another Linux Enigma2 receiver which will be setup exactly the same, if your having problems with the Zgemma i am not sure how you think purchasing a more expensive similar receiver will fix your problems

I purchased the miracle box simply because my zgemma box developed a fault with the reset switch on the back. It became broken and the build quality wasn't very good Digi247. Plus the new box has a few bells and whistles built into that really appealed to me.I've got the box fully up and running and I'm more than pleased with the results but I was wondering if there's some kind of USB dongle that would plug into our 22" tv that would allow my partner and myself to control the miracle box from the bedroom via it's own remote control and be able to watch the miracle boxes content on the tv in the bedroom, If anyone can give me advice regarding how to go about this I'd appreciate it. Thanks,
