OK have had enough of TVHeadend cant get pause to work and live TV on cable is pretty poor.

So have decided to go the Enigma 2 root.

I need 2 x sat tuners and 2 x cable tuners, having looked about I can get an Xtrend ET8500 with all the tuners for £230 this seems like a good deal and its from a reputable trader (WoS). So anything thing I need to know about this box before I buy it, or any suggestions s to what to buy instead.

It will come with OpenViX installed but apparently no Cams. So the question is where can i download them from, and is there a simple Tut to set it up?

Thanks in advance

Jon
 
I am not 100% up to speed with them boxes.
As far as I know the cams can be downloaded from the plugins as VIX support Xtrend.
 
OK so once MGCAMD is installed how do I enter my N:Line?
 
So I use notepad and enter

CWS_KEEPALIVE = 60
CWS = Address Port user password 01 02 03 04 05 06 07 08 09 10 11 12 13 14 lan server1

save it as newcamd.list and replace it with the one on the box

Now if I have 1 Nline for Cable and one for sat would it be

CWS_KEEPALIVE = 60
CWS = Address Port user password 01 02 03 04 05 06 07 08 09 10 11 12 13 14 lan server1
CWS = Address Port user password 01 02 03 04 05 06 07 08 09 10 11 12 13 14 lan server2


I have a mg_cfg file that reads

M: { 01 }
C: { 01 }
A: { 03 }
U: { 01 } 0x12c0
T: { 00 }
G: { 01 }
N: { 07 } 5 30
K: { 07 }
Q: { 120 }
P: { 00 }
O: { 00 } root password
S: { 00 } 80
L: { 02 } 172.16.1.1 28007 /tmp/mgcamd.log
E: { 15 }
H: { 07 }
R: { 04 }
D: { 00 }
B: { 00 }
F: { 00 }

would that be right
 
Thanks guys its orders and I should get it tomorrow, so will play after work, and no doubt come back with more queries.

Thanks again
 
OK another question

This will be a comb cable / sat box.

I understand that they will share the one EPG, on cable the HD channels will clear on sat they will not, how do I ensure that it uses the cable tuners for the HD channels?

Not automatically the scans when done with ABM will make it obvious to you what is sky and what is Virgin so you select the Virgin ones for HD.

Will you be able to see that when selecting from the epg?
 
Great, did not know that you could scan with or without HD
 
OK I have the box up and running, and its working great, all my glitching / buffering issues on cable ate gone.

Only issue via the vu+/engima2 pvr client kodi I can only clear the sat channels not the cable ones
 
Sorry another one

Ho do I stop "VIX" from flashing in the top left?
