USB DVB-T2 stick on Openvix?

    I've used quite a few on blackhole (I'd imagine they will also work on vix)
    Cheap generic rtl2832 from fleabay but channel changes were slow.
    A hauppauge WinTv Nova-T Stick which was a big improvement, had it in my solo2 for ages.
    I'm currently using a different generic rtl2832 that I picked up in a car boot sale for €3 in my vu zero and it works ok.
    I do find that the sundtek is faster than all the others mentioned (It would want to be for the price of it)
    There are drivers for various types of usb sticks available on our addons panel that may be worth installing if you have one that's not detected at the moment.
    I'll check what works on vix tomorrow evening as I'm currently at work now.

    Thanks everyone. Reason I asked is I recall reading somewhere that Vix doesn't play nicely with a lot of DVB-T sticks. I have one which doesn't work in Vix (although there is a driver) yet it works in Blackhole with the same driver (though never picked up any channels).


    Much appreciate the help all. :)

    This is also worth a look..... VU+ Turbo USB Tuner DVB-C/T2


    That looks super official, plus I think I saw a discount code for that site somewhere? Cheaper than the Sundtek too so may well be worth going down this road. Cheers sir!

    I tried yesterday but vix feeds were down.
    Working (again ugh) at the moment.
    I'll give it another go tonight when I get home.

    These are the sticks i've tried on my solo2 running openvix hades 018.

    I downloading usb drivers from the vix feeds but only the sundtek worked successfully.
    The hauppauge Wintv nova-t was recognoised but did not pull in any channels.


    Hope it helps somewhat.

    Ah cripes! So Vix only works with the Sundtek stick? Might have to consider a switch to Blackhole (though really don't want to).


    I wonder if the official Vu+ tuner will work? Thanks a lot for all your help and info though codar. You've dodged me a few bullets there. :)

    I wouldn't go that far.
    I just can't get my (cheap generic) sticks to work on hades 018.
    I'm sure a lot will, exactly which ones, I don't know.
    I did encounter this problem also on blackhole a couple of releases ago.
    Some worked on 2.0.9 but wouldn't work on later versions until 2.1.4. (as far as I can remember)
    Maybe a previous hades release will work. (worth trying if you have a stick to play with, I won't have the time now until next friday night at the earliest)
    I'd also be slow to purchase a turbo, especially if you have other branded receivers , I don't think vu will have any interest in ensuring receivers other than their own will work with the turbo.
    This is where sundtek comes into their own in my opinion, but they are expensive.
    You could check out the usual auction sites for a second hand one maybe?
