HI all
I am new to IP TV
I am very familiar with c/sharing enigma2 Linux boxes but have decided to dive into the IPTV

I am looking at either a MAG250 or MAG254 box - not sure if anyone can comment on either.??

also unsure at the moment to buy a pre installed box or buy box myself ( I see ebay sell for about £70 and programme myself) however this leads onto next question..

is there different images/ OS to use on the IP boxes ? if so what would you recommend. is there any step by step instructions on setting up a box from scratch?

I understand there are pay servers if you want to watch subscription channels but is there somewhere to download a channel list / epg guide from?

I will leave my questions at this for now... any help appreciated.
thanks
Grant
 
Using a mag 250 at the moment with some magic from the Russians. I'm told your best to avoid pre installed boxes. When you boot up the box it updates to the latest image. Then you go looking for sd or hd packages simples!!
 
Do you know how to remove pre-installed cr*p? I have a MAG250, provider appears to have gone bust.
 
gary
did you buy your box blank and flash it yourself or did you buy a pre configured box?
 
ok well that's box ordered £73 for MAG 254 delivered Thursday

some setup help be appreciated ...
 
so I now got my box.. I have some instructions on how to add/change a portal. am I right in thinking I can only have 2 portals at a time?

any other help much appreciated. is it recommended to reflash the box with a better/ different operating system on it? or just keep as is and just add portals?

keep as is and just add portals m8
 
I agree with joe516, keep as is, and add portals. Once you acquire your portal it will load up and it works well. I think there is some costume firmware out there you can use which doesn't change the normal boot up. Suppose it all depends if your looking to play around and see if you can jazz up the box. Personally my box works without any problems so I've chosen not to change anything!
