Been through this thread, and it sounds like I've got whats needed.
I've got a Vu+ Solo 4k with twin DVB-C/T/T2 tuner card. I'll connect the feed into the tuner port, via an f - TV cable.
I've got an active card in a V+ hd box (spare in the back room). So transfer the card into the Solo 4k card slot 1.
Is there a particular softcam that needs installing, or will oscam do the job? Or do I need a proper CAM in the CI slot (last time I looked I think it was Dragon)?
Cheers for any help
Cheers master G, that looks awesome.
Are there any places I can get a manual for it? I've tried the makers web site, but that model isn't listed in the manuals download pages. If there isn't a manaul available, where it the best sub-forum to ask questions about this model (similarly, there doesn't seem to be a sub-forum for this model)?. I guess it's pretty new.
Not sure which image I would select from the list of choices for pre-installationby the UK supplier. Any reccomendations based on my list?
Finally, are there any other makers / models that fit the bill, albeit with reduced features (I guess 4K is pretty new)?
I'm looking to move on to my next box and wondered if there is anything that fits the following spec, in STB format (rather than PC / server based).
1) HD / UHD capable, multi-tuner (2 or more) and Multi-sat capable using Diseq 1.2 or better (needs to support an 8 way diseq switch with 6 LNBs attached). Also have additional Astra 2 feed.
2) Recording / Timeshift via either internal HDD, external USB or to a network share.
3) Softcam capable (preferably CC).
4) DVB-T2 capable either on built-in tuners or via an upgrade
5) Capable of acting as an IPTV streaming source for use with Kodi / XMBC clients (at least 3 instances). Prefer TV Headend capable, but really anything that can work with Kodi.
6) Able to stream multiple channels on the same TP from a single tuner (e.g. BBC1, BBC2 & BBC4 from 10773H on Astra 2E).
7) Wired ethernet port. Nothing wireless only.
8) Able to be remotely managed directly from a PC (Satellites, Transonders, Channels, keys etc). Should be via LAN, but can work via USB and uploads / downloads provided its built in, and not a 3rd party hack. I'm perfectly at home with command line, but equally happy to use a GUI interface either by VNC or as a remote client tool.
9) HDMI and composite video out at the same time or HDMI and modulator output at same time. This would be nice, but not a deal breaker.
10) Price not too concerned here, but would like to stay under £500 / €600 and needs to come from a UK dealer.
If there's nothing out there to do this yet, then how close can I get. I'm happy to play with software images, and don't mind having to craft a bit of code to get it to work.
I'm new to the forum, but I've had trawl round and while I can find some of the things mentioned here, I thought I'd ask first. Hopefully this is the correct sub-forum.
I've been involved in Sat TV since Astra 1, and had several boxes and dishes. I've no interest in receiving streams from the internet to play on Kodi, as I can't lock these down enough for the kids.
My last box was a Skybox F3s, but I've got fed up with how slow it is, and having to reboot everytime I try to change a setting.
Prior to that I used an Icecrypt S2000, which was a dream to use, but lacked softcam support and HD. I still use it to align dishes, as its got such a great responsive tuning aid built-in.
