S11 has stopped working - what to replace it with

There are 14 replies in this Thread which was already clicked 1,545 times. The last Post () by dirtydonki.

    I have had the S11 for 18months and to be honest its done all and exactly what I need.


    Somebody else set it up for me so I cant watch the F1 / films etc in the man cave.


    I don't mess with it - other than updating the channel lists as they change.


    I've read some of the other jargon-filled replies in this part of the forum and they mean nothing to me.


    Looking on ebay for £50 I can get a S12, S16, F5S, X6 and many many others.


    As I said, I was fully happy with the S11 did everything I needed - especially after finding AJ's channel list regular updates on here


    So which £50 is most reliable with regular channel lists posted here, or convince me I need to spend more.


    Thanks

    The S11 did sometimes hang if left switched on, but thats about all I can fault it with until now. (thought it was the fuse but swapped that and can hear the transformer buzzing but it just doesnt work)


    As far as streaming stuff, I have a laptop for that - both laptop and S11 plugged into my HD TV.


    Really I only use the box for a few hours each week, I'm not really bothered about new features, a 7 day tv guide would be nice and easier advance recording for some stuff but really not that bothered.


    I'll have a look at a XP1000 and see what I get for the extra - thanks for taking the time to reply. :)

    Ordered it, had a read up and not really the wiser what its going to do for me exactly. However if its more stable and I can see that you can wangle a 7-day EPG plug in so all good. Seems scarce on channel lists for these, or I'm blind or stupid(monkey) but I'll try and get my head around it.
    Went for Vix software as reading a little seemed to be the one most liked.


    I'm sure I'll fumble my way through and work it out :)


    Thought about spamming for the extra £5 off if I had 10 posts on here but I dont know enough to post anything worth while posting about this stuff :)

    Not familiar with that box personally but woulda recommended the f3, up and running for a year now and not a bother, use laptop for epg, also like nbox 5800sx for 130 and twin tuner and 7 day epg :)

    Get an xp1000 you will be a lot happier at £129 you can do and watch a lot more things with it as far as streaming movies and plugins


    Not at the moment! I cant do anything...
    Turned it on, went through the setup it found all the channels - but all I can see is a "openvix" picture.
    Tried reading up, more confusion. I assume i dont want to "upgrade image" as i got the VIX image pre loaded.


    Going to try a fresh scan....


    Its also crashed/rebooted a couple of times when I've been looking through the menu's "your blah blah encountered error - rebooting in 10 secs and then a load of setting i guess that have confused it.


    I'm such a luddite...


    Edit - giving up for tonight ..... "SID not found in PAT"

    Trying to get this working so I can go to the man cave and watch the F1 .. struggling.


    Did the auto buquets
    Added my cccam.cfg into var/etc
    Using webif to select channel until i can sort a larger usb for storing the EPG on


    How do I start cccam ? I should be good to go now?


    HELP!


    not sure about your box particularly but most if not all boxes will have a softcam/camds or something similar in the menu, in there u can set to active or start

    There are literally hundreds of channel lists or bouquets available for the E2 platform of which this box is a member. Not to mentio several automated bouquet makers that will do it for you.

    cccam does not come preinstalled in ViX images. So unless the nice person who installed the image added it for you, you may need to install it yourself. If you press you blue button you should be able to navigate to the softcam menu and see there what is available to you. If cccam is listed you can start it there and also set it to autostart. If it is not there then you will need to install it. I recommend the TSPANEL or Linux-Support plugin route to install it or you can souce the ipk and do a local install yourself. Either way you will need to source and install an ipk depending on which option you choose but bear in mind once you have installed either of the suppport panels (TS or Linux Sup) you will have access to loads of additional good stuff in addition to what you currently see in the normal 'manage addons' lisings under plugins.
