  • Box upgrade for 2023

    thanks, yes, probably makes more sense now to let the box do the basic tv functions well and let the tv do all that other media stuff.

    So testing out setting up openatv 7, seems allright, slightly more focused than openvix

  • Box upgrade for 2023

    Hi there, have an old Edision OS Mega serving as main box which, although a bit tattered, still works ok for the most part.

    Is there any point in swapping it for some newer, 2023 Enigma2 box?


    Haven't kept up to date with latest developments for some time so just wondering really.


    Requirements are to handle and record TV from multiple inputs - terrestrial, sat and IPTV - and single epg. OpenWebif also, which is great.

    Don't need cam, don't care for Kodi. A better youtube experience would be nice. A decent web browser or cast content to it would be great


    Although the Edision has received many vix version updates over the years, in terms of updating channel lists, managing bouquets, updating epg etc the experience to me is unchanged.

    Have looked at openATV and it seems pretty much the same as vix - same plugins, same experience.

    Didnt try pure2 as there is no OS Mega image. But as last Pure2 update was a year ago I guess development has stopped anyway.


    Also, do external usb tuners for terrestrial tv work as well as the built in tuners?

    New triple tuner boxes such as the Edision are not that numerous anymore it seems..


    Feedback and thoughts welcome.


    thank you,

    Jason
