well managed to scan in by ging in auto bouquets and doing it from there but i tghink the reason i could not insert 6 on the tuner setup is because my remote is faulty as i keep pressing menu and nothing happens and sometimes goes straight to plugin menu then cant get out of it by pressing exit its got openvix got to try change remote tomorrow i should just be abkle to press menu and then exit etc. it wont tried the phone camera trick to see if letting of a signal but cant see any lights when pressing any button

Will order one of these boxes myself.
Have an Azbox HD premium with both tuners but find the box a complete nightmare. Up in the attic the last few years after paying a good few pound for it.
Its that long since I used it cant even remember the image on it. Might be something to do with a duck .
Using my old DB DM 7000 & still as good as ever. But way too big and think I got my moneys worth out of it, must be at least 10 years old.
Will try and put some input back into this post. Thanks to the original poster for the details.

well on my zgemma with openatv you only need to enter the network id as the provider to scan is selected by pressing left or right, in my case its virgin media (6952)..probably vix image is slightly different, but as long as it works..

You cant put in 6.887; it is entered 6887...and the frequency is 5 digits like mine 41011...

41011 is the netid and 6887 is a provider to scan on.

Nope! look at first sticky on UK cable idents on this cable section, it's 6.887. At least it is on my zgemma with vix

I Am trying to scan cable putting the info into the tuner 00008 net if and trying to put sym rate in as 6887 it won't let me

Symbol rate is 6.887 not 6887
Net ID is 5 figures, Frequency is (xxx.xxx) Symbol Rate (x.xxx)

Just seeking to understand the simplicity/complexity the setup/maintenance of one of these boxes...

They Run Linux Enigma2 software so anything related can be found in the Enigma2 section Dreambox,Vu+ etc.. all run near 99.9% the same

Have to say, wasn't until around 70 odd posts in on this thread where the bickering on this thread eased and became a little helpful.

That may have been because the company that makes them also make the Cloud iBox clones not Great for publicity, but for the Price i would class these as the Openbox of the Linux Enigma2 Range

I'm looking to get one of these boxes to replace an f5s and just after an easy to follow set up just like the threads for the openbox.

You need to follow the Drambox and Enigma2 even the Vu+ sections on here as all are relevant for this receiver too.

I've seen a couple of examples on the Web of this box having the look and feel of the Sly interface ie blue hd. Is this one of the supported formats. If so could I do the wifi connected and record one watch another with the setup I've described?

The BlueHD is just a skin unlike the mediocre closed source F5's of this world Enigma id highly customisable so you can get it how you want it to look, and yes BlueHD as well as RedHD can be installed

Again many thanks

Answered above also look out for other receivers of a similar type to hit the market shortly with better build quality and more than likely similar support or possible more

Ok think ive got it, actually after a few minutes it does go into standby...just the led on the drive remains on...

[pongo snodgrass]

its usb powered, so i assume the usb is keeping it powered on all the time, in record settings , default movie location is hard drive..

[cactikid]

you did not say if it was powered or not by external means and the make of hdd is??

anything in recording device on setup?

[pongo snodgrass]

have this box, its great , tuners are very good...ive got an external usb 500gb hard drive hooked up to the front usb port, the back usb port is used for picons and epg, where i use a small 4gb usb stick....anyway ive got the usb hard drive plugged in the front usb port, ive changed the drive setting to go into standby after 2 minutes , but it doesnt, it remains on, ive formatted the drive and mounted it as well, but the green light on the hardrive remains on all the time..i can hear the drive spinning when i pick it up..anyway to get into standby mode when not in use?..otherwise it will remain on permeanlty...
