  • Any way of cable

  • Any way of cable

    interesting post

    and beyond us mere mortals

    and in the meantime ill check some of the old pace units out on fleabay :cheers:

  • Any way of cable

    Quote from muzz

    sozz if im not allowed to talk about cable but with the treat of sly going is there a tute on how to get the details needed to do you know what?
    I know its being done just wanted to know how hard it is to do and is it safe to use.
    Thanks


    Also interested in this
    From the small amount i found scouring the net its far more technical than the sly system
    extracting this code and that code etc etc,time consuming and far more expensive to set up
    i assume that means by the equipment needed
    no good to you i know but just snippets i found
    hopefully someone comes along and contradicts my post:09:

  • ZGEMMA 2S- Whats the quickest most reliable system to use on this STB

    Quote from Neo2

    Hi all


    I have a Zgemma 2S. I installed Open ATV 5.1 , but have found it to be slow and unreliable (crashTksing) What do people recommend???


    Mate
    if your comparing the s2 to the box you have in your profile
    forget it theres no comparison
    As said before Open atv appears the most popular
    I've got it running on a couple and yes its not full proof but its been pretty stable
    with regular updates/support
    Its a lot to do with personal choice so try a few other images
    there's plenty out there
    I'm currently running the vix image on my H1 and its very stable but not officially supported
    but ive always liked vix images so took the gamble
    touch wood its running sweet
    play with a few and see wot suits

  • Bugger, red light!

    did exact repair yesterday
    if your eyes are dodgy due to age like mine get a pair of those magnifying glasses
    helped no end
    I have no experience of soldering and it ended up all over the place but the bottom line is i'm using VU again
    follow the tut and you'll be fine

  • *** Movies now on Android

    might be wrong but i think this may be the long awaited s*y go app which is free to s*y subscribers and has been available to ipad,nexus users for months but has only just been released on android(month or so) If I'm incorrect please accept apology.

  • The reason payservers are NOT welcome

    be nice if these two had been caught out from selling there wares on a well known auction site but i doubt it.
    it's rife on there but the powers that be seem to have little interest in stopping it happening yet try to sell something like a nannox/spiderbox and its pulled before you have time to list it:confuse:

  • vu+duo locked out

    my be worth trying a different usb stick as vu's can be temperamental with reading usb sticks and its a problem i've had in the past.Also try different images as sometimes i've had issues with images, Blackhole 176 being one of them.my vu also an original.

  • after a new box

    sorry mate but i have no knowledge of the Vu's capabilities but if it helps most seem to think the dm500 is better for this purpose than the Dm800.you could be spending a lot of money for something which is no better than your using now.If you dont fancy setting up a pc server why dont you get one of your mates to sub a card and do it that way ie 8 for your mates at work and 6 for your other mates plus your home.obviously split the costs of the cards between you,otherwise i'd maybe trial and error the 500 you may well find its holds up ok as will everyone be pulling off your card at the same time all the time ???

  • after a new box

    if its just you and a few mates ie 6 or so a DM500 will do the job perfectly well,i've seen on the net that these are capable of 25+ but i'm sure you dont need that many and most peeps recommend no more than 10 for glitch free viewing. I share with 5 close mates and have 3 around the house with no probs at all.
    alternitavly you could go the route and set up a pc based server which is a cheap enough option if you have an old tower laying about but to be honest if its just for a few mates you have all you need.
