PC based box?
I'd go for one of those embedded boards from someone like Asrock: https://www.asrock.com/mb/index.asp#Intel%20CPU
Combine it with a nice HTPC style case and add some TBS PCIe tuners.
Run Kodi as a frontend, TVHeadend as the DVR backend.
TVHeadend is probably the best option for a monster recording setup.
Supports transcoding on the fly too.
The only downside is the tuners aren't cheap.
It's also not a "box".
But you could run Kodi on the same machine as a front end.
I run a headless TVHeadend server with thin Kodi clients (Veros and Firesticks).
Free servers aren't what they used to be.
What is different about it?
Create your own docker image for it?
What's different about Mohamed's version?
Im away for several weeks now...... possibly years......
What do you mean?
Well time to start believing it. The dish mount is apparently not entirely compatible with the motor and the proper angles cannot be attained.
A few drilled holes should solve the interference problems and allow for a wider range of adjustment.
It will not hurt anything at all at this point in the game.
We just have a bit of a comprension problem to deal with now.
Once those damned holes are drilled!
Of coures you're free to drive over and help him. Kind of a long and cold swim for me.
Ah OK, sorry, I thought this was all part of the same “kit”. I didn't realise it was pieced together.
You would like to think, if it was a manufacturing error, that it would have been fixed by now.
I only skimmed the thread, and it looks like there is lots of play in that bracket.
If something is stopping it moving/bottoming out, maybe something is on the wrong way round?
I don't know anything about this setup, but I find it hard to believe anything needs drilling.
It can't be assembled correctly if basic angles aren't possible?
Sorry, I have no idea what the problem is.
Are you sure the newcamd line is good?

I get all those on my 80 cm. You should have no problem when correctly aligned.
Don't think I can get all the feeds though with my size dish.
I have watched feeds on 7e in the past, but feeds aren't really my thing.
No telling where it is, too.
Further from the equator, dishes are more horizontal. Closer, they can point more or less straight up.
I just have a simple motorised dish.
Used one of those digital spirit levels and got all the angles absolutely spot on.
Worked first time and I get 52E to 30W.
Don't underestimate how anal you need to be when setting the angles and making sure things are level.
The package does work 100% so don't say it doesn't.
The issue is not many servers have it.
Does anyone know how to buy an official card and activate from outside its intended region?
I think there are pay services that open this and the Discovery package on 9E.
So it should be possible?
As rush1 said above mars do NOT allow this. Most of these devices are single tuner as well.... so kind of pointless anyways.
Not really pointless.
It would mean people can carry on using their preferred devices and add the mars/forever channels as an IPTV source.
The lines you get from Chinese shopping sites.
Very cheap servers.
8 lines 24 months for a couple euros.
