    Hello! So i'm new here to all this satellite tuner modification thing, as i've found few days ago in a e-waste bin an nbox 5800S satellite tuner, and i'm curious what i can do with it, as either i am blind, frasing it wrong, my search engine is drunk, or just no information about it on Polish forums. I would really appriciate some help and ideas what could i do with it. I have few things in mind though i have NO IDEA WHERE TO START as this was modded when i found it, and the orginal HDD is just gone and won't boot up to stock firmware when the jumper is set to other position. So i'm sorta stuck with linux :scratch_one-s_head:That's why i'm here to get some help and maybe tips what i can do, and how to do it. I have no knowlage about most of the stuff, so please don't judge me that i don't know any of the stuff:face with head bandage:With that said, i have a few questions about it,


    1. Do i need apps and other stuff specificly made for this tuner?

    2. Can i maybe copy over the Canal+ card so i can use this satellite box when the other one is off? And is it illegal?

    3. Can i record the stuff from the satellite on it and play it back as a .mp4?

    4. Do i need the remote to it? If yes, are there any IR codes for a phone with an IR Blaster?

    5. Will i need a computer with Linux to do anything with it?

    6. How the heck do i format the HDD?!

    7. Are there any chances of bricking it? And if, can i reinstall Linux on it?


    I would really appriciate help, as like i said. I'm new to this modding thing. I mainly know the very basics of using debian based distros btw, Thanks yall. :smiling face:


    Edit: So i've just noticed that the community that has those boxes i have is pretty dead YAY..
