I've bought one of these boxes to see what they were like. Its cheap and said it did xbmc flawlessly. It doesn't. The satalute receiver's soft cam stutters quite a lot and if you bring up the epg it takes a couple of minutes to load and the picture crashes while it does. The xbmc side is really bad. It is set on software decoding but that can't do hd. And the hardware decoding only supports 720p if you try a standard definition film with the hw on it goes green screen. Same as the 1080 films do in either setting. 1080 films will play through mx player so it must be an unsupported chipset with xbmc. It only has a single core hisilicon chip in it. I asked the guy about it and he tried to defend it as a higher priced chip than the allwinner ones. Does this new software solve any of those issues or is there a version of xbmc with hardware decoding for this chipset. If not buy vigica or videostrong k1 both have quad core a5's and Mali 450's. I've tried a k1 and it is far superior and the same price. As soon as tv headend is out on them they'll be great.

If your going back to that old router you might want to upgrade it with a custom firmwa re.from here

ive upgraded two routers with it and they work great

What media is the playlist linking too.

And don't mag250 boxes have xbmc on them

its pretty simple, download the emu fike from here http://linuxsat-support.com/showthread.php?t=61868
stick it on a usb stick and stick it in the box. go to the menu and go through the options until one says update from usb (i cant remember what its called but it wasnt hard to find). then once you flash the emu (you may have to unzip the file to the root of your usb) there will be a new option that says CA with a dollar sign on it. click on that and enter your c line details there.

i have a dream box 800 hdse and that works well

it is ancient though

if the HD service doesnt work through card sharing, how are the streaming sites sending out their hd sly sports. they must have a card in a server

I know your right, I've so far only spent £80 on the things I've bought and used on old computer that would of only gone in the bin otherwise. The dreambox me mum and dad have is easily better than what I've tried so far. Just didn't want to fork out that much straight off. The giga blues look nice with the expansion ports for when the kids get older but it is a lot of money £300 with a quad tuner.

http://youtu.be/Hy91EvgNn8I sorry as it wasn't in English I didn't think I should link it. If you jump to the middle you will see how he enters his c line information. Felt a bit stupid after re reading the .ini contained in the zip file originally.

Tried acamd again today with media portal but I'm gonna give up. Dvb viewer with hadu is the only thing I can get to work. Starting to think spending out on a dual boot e2 box is going to be the easiest option. Saying that if anyone has a good setup or (as I have a lot of android stb's) a good way of setting up an iptv server to stream out to the stb's please mail me. So far tried dvb viewer, media portal, dvb dream and I got half way installing Linux, installing the drivers for my dvb card then trying to install tv headend but then I just gave up completely. Nearly fooked me computer up a treat. As it's windows 8 the product key is embedded in the bios. So if any one is running win 8 and is thinking of trying to install win 7 or Linux, down load a key finder program first so you can get your product key. The other way means a lot of head ache and phone calls. Also because they have put a secure boot in, UEFI boot, unless you know what your doing just don't bother.

Just saw this, the direct download link for showbox on android is http://music-box.cc/showbox.apk it's called movie box on ios you get it through jail breaking in cydia (you need to add dtathemes repo first, google it). they also do a free music one called music box it's available in cydia again on ios, or for android http://peroon.ru/m.apk just click on that. they are both absolutely awesome. They work on practically every android device. The only one it has trouble on is the ouya. But if you have an android device especially a stb then it's brilliant. The downloads will start automatically when you click the link and you'll need to enable third party applications in security settings but when you click install it will guide you through

Amiko is cheap but it's not that rubbish. I started on this about a month ago and where it took me the best part of a day to set up me mum and dad's dream box the amiko mini hd se took 30 mins start to finish. You download an emu file, flash it from USB to put the updated image with cccam support. If you go for the mini hd se it also has a big2small app which is by no means a real sat>ip server but it's again very easy to use. Basically set the amiko up downstairs buy an android stb for £40 on amazon for the bedroom and she can divert the tv up there with two clicks. They are cheap though. And a well set up enigma 2 box would poo all over it, but it is easy. I've bought a tbs 6981 tv card to turn an old PC into an iptv server so I can do more than the amiko can but this is only because I have a family who want telly in different rooms. If I was on my own the amiko would of been fine. They do a dual boot box called the a3 which has xbmc on it as well which looks interesting.

Stay away from PC Cards though as it stands for me they are certainly not simple.

Also if you do go for a mini and use big2small you can only have a channel list of about 3 hundred any more and the android app says "scan channels into the set top box" when you try it even though you have 2000 in your channel list. Like I said cheap

The old xunity repo is not updating the addons download the zip from her to reinstall their repository http://t.co/kBomwiq9RM all xunity addons will update automatically when you reinstall repo.

I took the link to the zip from their twitter feed.

I'm stuffed on this as well. I'm using a cccam line with it but can't get it working. The pluggin is active and the server m using is definitely active because I've tested it on an amiko box so it's definitely the config file I'm creating. When I bring up thee monitor it keeps showing 10061 cannot connect to server.

Is there a way to simplify the file so I can bin out all the other protocols and just put it the c: line. And could someone please help me out by pasting the format is should be in. Thanks

Also I have done exactly as instructed above so I'm sure it's the cccam line that has something wrong with it

Managed to fix it. Used Hadu instead. It was the format of the server line. There is a YouTube video in German but if you watch it it'll still show you the correct format. Lol

The addon has been removed from the xbmchub and xfinity repos. Go to this page and click on the link for an automatic download of the addon zip you need to install it manually https://seo-michael.co.uk/how-…tall-sportsdevil-on-xbmc/ the fixes don't need to be applied anymore. I use live sports-firstrowsports.eu I'm watching the ****ty city vs Byern highlights.

just to let you know. go movues and gotv have been joined into the genesis addon. its still in lambdas repo in tvaddon fusion folder. also sports devil is the best free wat to watch sports on xbmc. its in the fusion repo. as well, you need to download sports devil fix as well. its right next to it in the repo so you cant go wrong. when the game is on open it and go to live sports. its not great quality but watchable.

Your right as I have only just started on this I have nothing to offer. I've used xbmc for quite a few years and I am very proficient at that. Would happily help people with any knowledge needed. I even have had some success scanning an enigma 2 device onto xbmc ios using the new pvr clients and the tux box connection. Could help a uk user with difficulties in watching 3pm kick offs in hd but only one person. Lol and obviously I keep upto date with the new kodi developments and customer versions of xbmc that allow unsupported files still to play on it. I also could help with vpn, multiple device connections, setting ftp servers so your downloads can stream straight to xbmc without you doing anything except click play. I am also quite proficient at torrenting and nab servers and setting RSS feeds to download favourite shows in hd. May be useful to anyone affected by loss of hd in uk.

Hi people

As you can clearly tell I am a complete noob at this. When I signed up to this site one of the rules is that there is no talk about paid servers, but when I google c line server all I'm finding is pay ones. Could anyone help with some info on free ones, a link to a forum thread about them or anything. I'm all set up with the firmware upgraded. I just need the c lines. Thanks
