Cheers m8 have a few hours now will do a bit of reading and testing!!...
Will have to look into linux!
Am i have a shit load of .avi and divx movies downloaded from torrents, along with tv series and recording footie games!..
Would only be laptops first but must look into how to stream to ps3 aswell..
Don't have any hd tv's yet! Still only a young college goer lol..
Defo must get into reading about this more..
I wonder could I use my ubuntu laptop for it.. hmmmmmmm....
I have that Stream MP skin alright..
Must read up more about it!
Ye've got me back interested in it again now! lol
30TB wooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooh.........
Ya I'll have a look into it again when I have a few extra bob!..
Interesting project though for sure!
Ya was thinking about it!
The shell of the htpc is prob the only thing holding me back..
Wanted to put in a sat tuner, dvb-t tuner, 1tb hdd and maybe get an old laptop and use it too..
Whats your make up??
Looked into building one of these a few months back!...
Downloaded Mediaportal to test it out and all lol..
Whats yours consist of?
Any pics?
Well its e.g.
IP: (ip of box)
Netmask: 255.255.255.0
Nameserver: Ip of router
Gateway: Ip of router..
I messed about with images today and some weren't connecting for some reason or other and it really pissed me off!
Settled on a PLI image.. And it worked thank feck...
Your box has a fixed ip in your router ya?
Would rather do it this way than buy it... More of an accomplishment ;)... (Engineering student too! lol :P)
Ya will be heavy so will need to account for that in the design...
Where's the fun in that m8??? lol
Its nice to challenge yourself too!
Lol...
Think we answered this fella already...
I have stats some where..
A spiderbox connected to the "service+" uses way less than a 1gig a month...
So a dreambox wouldn't be much more!
Ok so most of the posts went missing after the crash so here's the update!!..
Got a lot of help from Newtolinux, Scoot, Caz and A of J amongst others!..
Big thanks to ye all!!...
So i had a few ideas in my head and here's what came out when i started sketching!


Was advised not to use the *** arm though as the focal point of the dish would be out...
Also was told that all the lnb's would need to be all the same distance from the dish!
Also i was told center the dish at approx 22 east to get max signal for all 3 sats, 28,19 and 13 east...
So here's what i came up with:

And for my lnb holder this is what was in my head!:


Went to the hard ware store and got 3 each of these!

All connected:



Went and go this switch then (pretty cheap so hope it'll work)




Hope to get started as soon as possible!..
Must get some co-ax cable first!...
Have got some aluminium piping for the bracket!
QuoteIf I scan on the 19 east will the channels jus drop in to the current list?
They won't be all sorted out..
They will just be there..
And guli i doubt there is picons on the openbox..
Not enough space as far as I know..
You can get a new list for it or you could just scan in 19 east...
