Hi thanks for the reply that actually suits what i am after i have vm 240mb but in ireland. why do you need to have vm internet ?
-
You don`t need to have vm internet to get anything working on this receiver..
If you want to view any cable / vm channels then you will need to have a vm connection / cable (not internet) coming into your home.. -
ah ok yes ive already tested it on a zgemma channels are clearing fine so can i assume then that the amiko when in enigma 2 mode cant install the plugins the same way as a solo 2 would ive read you need to use oscam instead of Cccam ?

You need to try get hold of an official or unofficial box to see if your cable still live at the cab with no sub on it. Mines is 4yr on. If FTA works you're good to go then look at signal issues later if any

Correct, there is no cccam for the alien2. You may find some files claiming to be cccam for alien2, but they are usually just mgcamd renamed. (however that may work for you depending on your configuration.) Oscam is available for the alien2. If you are worried about compatability with your current config, you can test oscam on your vu solo first.
The alien2 is sh4, whereas the Edison is mips based. Both are supported by OpenATV and other builds of enigma2 (note however that the openpli team does not "officially" support sh4 boxes) There can be a problem with plugins as some are designed for mips and either do not work well or not at all for sh4. But the plugins you listed do work on the alien2. If you look in the alien section here, you will see lots of info... https://linuxsat-support.com/f…mp-Satellite-HD-Receivers
I never used the Edison Mega, so I cannot comment on it.
