  • Hi guys,
    I have been looking to add a cable tuner to my solo 2. I have read that you can get USB cable tuners but are unreliable? (Can't source a supplier either)


    Looking at the box itself there doesn't seen to be a slot to add a tuner. So would use be the only way?


    Cheers for any help

  • Thanks a lot McKee, I am wondering tho. Does anyone know if it's possible to run both sat & cable simultaneously. Or would the cable tuner make the sat tuners redundant?

  • Never tried this sort of setup myself bud tbh..... but they should be able to work side by side..... best of both worlds.


    I think from memory codar may have a similar setup to what your looking to do, send him a pm...... won't do any harm to ask.

  • Yes you can in single channel list can add terrestial or cable channels. Add a bouqet name it as you want dowloand channels t or c and copy them to that bouqet.

    Hi brendan,
    I have a usb dvb-t connected to my solo2 and it sees it as just an extra tuner (tuner-c)
    It can be configured to use it as dvb-t or dvb-c.
    I use it to pick up saorview and it does work side by side with the sat tuners, epg etc.
    Dunno if the dvb-c side of things are any different (shouldn't think so but then again, not able to test as i don't have access to cable)
    I am running bh 2.0.9 though as the newer kernel bh images will not recognise it and tried all drivers from addons panel to no avail , although it is a cheap one from flea bay.
    Never had a problem with it to be honest.

  • I also have one on my solo2,its a sundtek dvbt/c tuner.
    Im here in Ireland and can 100% confirm that it works on saorview,cable and mmds.
    Theres a sundtek tuner plugin available for E2 boxes...i think i got it on here?
    You can watch cable tv and record sat tv no probs.The tuner is a little expensive tho but well worth it,saved me buying a Duo2
