Admittedly, setting it up for use with 28.2e was initially a bit of a learning curve for me but this is only because I've never had any experience with configuring TVHeadEnd before. Now I've got it all configured I could literally do it all again in my sleep it's that simple.

Could you post a quick guide for others please?

Setting up AutoTimers for recording stuff is, for me at least, a lot more simpler than using an E2 box, it can all be done from a very clean and easy to use web based UI, much prefer it to the OpenWebIF offerings from E2.

So you can for instance automatically set the Wetek play to record East Enders nightly by itself similar to Series link and Autotimers in E2? If so another quick guide please :)

Thank you for your post.

Humm well it works perfect at my side...

Please feel free to post screenshots of all the features I mentioned, then I will stand corrected. As you stated, 'working perfect', so please... post screenshots.

Having a box that can do almost everything for you will eventually dominate the market and thus e2 needs to progress

We've been looking for this but there's currently nothing out there that will do everything.

This is going to be one of the biggest downfalls for sat boxes and e2 nothing has worked for long enough as you say , it has become very limited bbc iplayer gave me a major headache with the wife , im a big fan of both android and e2 , but i can see the tide starting to turn both price and flexibility of a box like wetek are going to slowly dominate the market , and all they have to do is bump up the storage and cpu on them and itll be a real rival , e2 devs are going to have to pull out the stops and get a finger out to compete or consider doom

Do you actually own Wetek and have you actually tried to setup one as a satellite receiver? If not you are more than welcome to come to our warehouse and have a play. Have you tried satellite scanning using OpenELEC and TVHeadend? Anyone participating in this thread and recommending them as a receiver able to post a noobs guide how to does this simply? ;)

We'd tried and tested countless receivers, operating systems, firmwares.... no other current sytem has the functionality and ease of use like Enigma 2, for anyone who wants a dedicated receiver/PVR.

Like we've already said in this post the current Wetek play is great for XMBC/Kodi, OpenELEC, Android etc...., but in no way would we sell or market it as a dedicated receiver replacement, not with the current available firmware.

personnaly im looking foward to a wetek, of course one of the site sponser is going to push theres boxes its only right,
but theres lots of other arguments of course, ie the types of files it plays and the on demand stuff,come on enigma2 has never played on demand right,android does,netfix etc, android has a bigger fan base than enigma2,

and so more development

Think you're missing the question in the 1st post. It's not about pushing, its about whats suits the users needs, we've actually been in conversation with Wetek regards selling their products, but in the op's case we wouldn't recommend a Wetek. Bottom line is it makes no difference to us what the op purchases, but we feel it should be made clear the Wetek is not a replacement for a dedicated receiver and should not be sold or marketed in that fashion.

As i said enigma 2 comming at Wetek Play so at end 4 OS including android, openelec, ubuntu and enigma 2, variety of choices

Ok, whatevever you say..... Wetek hardware will never run Enigma 2 as its supposed to be run.

Don't get me wrong, Wetek is a superb little box for Android, XBMC etc..., but it should not be classed as a replacement for a broadcom powered Engima 2 receiver and in our opinion not suitable for new users looking for a satellite receiver.

All of that works perfectly in both VDR and tvheadend at WeTek Play, including EPG, timeshift and PVR with remote access to recordings, recording over CIFS, NFS and Samba shares plus IPTV at WeTek Play.

I would say thise stated there are not comparable to WeTek Play in any segment... except that only number that they have higher thank wetek play is price of course

Please feel free to post screenshots of 7 DAYS EPG for Astra 28.2, Autotimers, Autobouquets etc... if you can produce these we stand corrected :) Also feel free to post a scanning tutorial for Astra 28.2 using Openelec and TV headend, as the op asked 'Would the WeTek have a bigger learning curve than the Medi@link?', the answer is a massive yes.

Wetek is not for a beginner, nor would we recommend it for anyone wanting a satellite receiver as a PVR. If you want an XBMC box go for it, but not if you want a dedicated satellite receiver.

Wetek lacks all Enigma 2 features, such as EPG, Autobouquets, Autotimers just as start, its in no way a PVR like an Enimga 2 receiver.

Technomate TM-Nano-SE more or less same spec as a VU+ Zero, its the fastest unit above, so comes down to budget.
