    Spud,


    Yes the Duo will more than cope with what you have planned buddy! Very Good choice and supported well here!


    In answer to your questions!


    Always best to go wired with everything IMO.....Thick walls...Dodgy Routers...e.t.c e.t.c always seem to pop up when using wireless...but thats just me!


    You've lost me on your first question
    Normally the process would be as follows!


    Duo as Receiver and Server with Card inserted (Use a backup image with Oscam or Oscam/Cccam preinstalled from out Duo Backup Section for ease of use)
    The Duo has 2 tuners so you will be able to use both....view/record 1 channel and use the other to watch e.t.c


    From you Duo(Server) using Oscam or Cccam (Read through forum) you create lines to your other boxes....in this case the ***box F3 from within your network!


    If wish to go outside your network you need to allow this by editing configs e.t.c all of which is within the forum!


    satvps? are wishing to create a CS server in the Clouds?


    Question 2!


    The more the better.....especially if the kids DL/Stream or Xboxing but your current setup should be more then enough!


    Min Bandwith......How longs a piece of string.....how many connections e.t.c what is you upload speed?


    Like i said have a look at the backup images with the cams installed.....they should be setup for SLY also! Read up on the various tuts to get an understanding of how it all works!


    Post back if any problems!

    Not a problem here buddy!


    box F3 being used with Samsung 3d no problems!


    I would firstly look/try wired and see if problem persists......wireless may be where problem is!

    1TB in mine and its always recording! Be it Kids Programs....My Conspiracy Stuff.....or the Mrs Crazy Stuff it all works well!


    I use Vix and just like anything you Just need to get used to how it all works and spend a little bit more time setting up as opposed to (green button series link)


    Ensure the EPG is up to date and you should have no problems!


    Vix is all Menu based with filters so say for example you wanted to record Eastenders


    Highlight in Epg > Hit Autotimer Button


    Then Filter the parameters for example


    Eastenders


    On BBC1 Only


    Between 19:00 - 19:30


    Daily


    So depending on what you select it will record every instance....it will tell you at the end how many results and you can view in the record list!


    Go bigger on HDD if your like me and end up recording every instance (inc repeats lol)


    Im sure you will pick it up any problems ask my Mrs lol

    Sorry our lines are busy at the moment.....you are in a queue and someone will be with you shortly................


    Perhaps have a look here at the latest but 1 plugin as it has Oscam included!


    3 out of 3!


    Better response then anywhere else!!!!


    :firework:

    I saw these articles and thought of this thread lol


    Starbucks doesn't pay a bean in UK tax, Facebook Fools Taxman! :taxman:


    Since coming to the UK in 1998, the coffee group has opened 735 outlets
    Taken more than £3billion in sales but paid just £8.6million in corporation tax
    In the last three years it's paid no UK tax at all despite £1.2billion in sales




    Starbucks has paid just £8.6million in tax in 14 years of trading in Britain, it emerged last night – and nothing at all in the past three years.
    The tiny payments to the Treasury come from a coffee chain whose 735 UK outlets have so far run up sales of £3billion.
    It uses a range of complicated measures to minimise its profits – and its tax bill. These include paying large royalties to another arm of the firm for using the brand name.



    Over the past three years the company, which prides itself on its ethical standards, paid no UK tax at all despite racking up sales of £1.2billion.



    During 2011, the most recent year for which figures are available, the group posted a UK loss of £33million on sales of £398million. Because of this it paid no corporation tax.
    By comparison, McDonald’s racked up a 2011 tax bill of £80million on £3.6billion of sales and KFC paid £36million on sales of £1.1billion.



    Rival: Starbucks is the second largest restaurant or café chain in the world after McDonald's but claims to have made no profit in the UK over the last ten years



    All of the practices deployed by Starbucks are legal.
    The company’s US reports show that it incurred a tax rate of 31 per cent on its profits there last year. But for its overseas operations, which include the UK,
    the company’s average tax rate was only 13 per cent.



    How can a set of rules that are so biased against small businesses be justified? The local competitors aren't playing against Starbucks on a level playing field'
    Tax accountant Richard Murphy



    John O’Connell of the TaxPayers’ Alliance said: ‘The tax system is now so hideously complex that large companies can afford expensive accountants to find loopholes
    and lower their tax bills. That can mean higher taxes for hard-pressed families.’



    Last week it was revealed that Facebook, another American giant which has major UK operations, paid only £238,000 in tax despite raking in £175million in revenues.



    The Mail has reported how Google avoided more than £200million in tax, only contributing £6million to HMRC during 2011 despite making revenues of £2.6billion.

    Your first point of call should be in Introductions bud......just a couple of mins of your time to introduce yourself to the forum!


    Introductions


    The advice i can give on building is look through the forum mate...its all documented here! What type of Receiver, How to setup, Install, Read Cards, Share Cards! e.t.c

    I think you will have to go through the 'FAV' button to get the groups (bouquets) up and then navigate from there!


    Press FAV - Groups should come up in little box - Go into Group and select channel!


    I think pressing OK will show current bouquet channels you are in and channel up and down will just navigate!

    Read through the forum buddy it's all there!


    for Cs you don't need some fancy 100 core server in the clouds lol a simple desktop/laptop will do! I use a lappy with a cracked screen....some people use an old desktop and connect to it via another Pc to edit etc!
    in a sense when your setup there is very little that needs to be done! So you can just keep it running!


    So any pc you may have lying around gathering dust now has a new use!


    When you have decided you just need to install a OS (Debian or Ubuntu) and run one of the excellent auto install scripts (from within the forum) that will install and setup Oscam and/or Cccam - add your card reader - edit the configs for your setup/card, setup ports etc and your up and running!


    But all is here in the forum and are hot topics so just do some digging and I'm sure you will unearth all you need

    Yes mate you need Oscam to read the Card and either Oscam to share or Cccam to share (Oscam can do both)


    You edit the Oscam configs to read and update the card and Cccam to share lines/to users
