  • connecting Vu server to Unbuntu server

    I think running server on pc is a better option than receiver.
    It doesn't tie you down when you want to try new images / plugins etc. (no downtime)
    It can be put out of sight also for fear that no one can accidentally power it down, pull out cards (i have kids that used to love doing that)
    One machine dedicated to doing just one function rather than one receiver trying to do multiple functions.

  • Crossepg , is there a better epg ?

    Never had a problem with crossepg ,works very well.
    What way have you it configured/where are you storing it?
    It's not recommended to store it in flash as it could fill it over time.
    Best option would be on hdd or usb.

  • VU+ Zero Support

    I have one and am very happy with it so far.
    Some report that it could overheat due to poor design (plastic case) but i have yet to encounter that.
    That said, i have it in the bedroom and it's not used too often or for long periods.

    I want to add my own line without the help of this conman!


    Have you paid for this cline also?

  • connecting Vu server to Unbuntu server

    Why are you using two servers?
    Keep it simple.
    Use either your solo2 as server or use your ubuntu server.
    Going both ways increases your hops and ultimately increases your ecm times. EG: card- server - server- client.
    Get rid of one server.
    Best option (in my opinion, and open to correction) ubuntu server, serving all cards with solo 2 and all other internal receivers as shares, although if your running 2 cards, you'll need 2 card readers on ubuntu setup.
    Other option is to get rid of ubuntu server altogether and use solo2 as main server.(it's capable of this but you cannot shut it down without downtime for your peers)

  • Starter Advice needed for an 'older' newbie.

    1) 1 receiver to start with, easy to use set-up, with EPG ( this acronym I know!) as simple as youview / *** etc


    Any enigma2 receiver will cover this.

    2) access to North American sports channels ( lived in Canada for 11 years, love the ice hockey, but they show English footie as well)


    Set4nta sports gives a lot of hockey (not too sure if its canadian or usa or both) while bt show a bit of premier league.

    3) low maintenance. ( want to flick the switch and watch, not lose all my time trying to keep it running)


    Most receivers will run ok with little maintenance once set up right. (i'd recommend the vix image for ease of use)

    4) able to receive regular uk channels. ( not too fussed about *** stuff, just regular free to air, with maybe a movie channel or two thrown in)


    Need a satellite dish pointed at 28.2e to avail of english fta satellite or a cable/terestrial tuner to avail of english terestrial services.

    5) mac compatibility. ( any software downloads needed would have to be done thru my iMac)


    Shouldn't be a problem as a lot of ftp client software is written for multiple platforms. (I know filezilla is available for mac, the latest version requires osx 10.7 or higher)

    6) programmable record, series record, pause live tv, watch one channel and record another.


    Looking for a dual tuner receiver, be it a twin satellite or combo terestrial / satellite configuration.


    Quote

    With regards to receivers, I kind of like the vu+ solo 2, as it seems to have a little headroom for if I get more and more into all this


    The solo2 is a great receiver but only comes as a twin satellite receiver, no room to expand tuners (unless you go for usb tuners and sundtek tuners are recommended but are expensive)
    You should give the vu+ duo2 or the mut@nt hd2400 hd a look as these are more flexible when it comes to adding tuners.

    The above receivers have twin satellite tuners and a single terestrial tuner installed.
