    Azbox - help needed

    Hope someone can help me. Looking to buy an Azbox Premium but need advice. I want to chase feeds and know it does 4.2.2 feeds but what about the other feeds on Satelliweb - ie MPEG-2 crypt? and the MPEG-4 HD feeds? Can I view them or not? Will I be able to use my G@ mma card still? Is it easy to run and work with and how often do you have to update the software?

    Thanks in advance.

      you wont be able to view mpeg2 encrypted feeds as these are as it says encrypted with only the uplink operator and tv provider knowing the key to access it.

      feeds you will be able to see

      mpeg2 4:2:0
      mpeg2 4:2:2
      mpeg4 4:2:0
      mpeg4 4:2:2

      i dont have one of these azbox but if it is similar to dreambox then you will be able to use cards in it if there is a version of Cccam, newcamd+cs, mgcamd etc for azbox, this is the card emulator software.

      you can update the software how often as you like.

      they aren't that easy to use for begineers unless your competent with the use of computers etc

          Thanks - it's your last comment that has been putting me off! I don't exactly know what competancy is needed. Suppose the best option is to read the manual and see how to set up and run then I can judge if it's easy or not!

              The manual will be useless as it won't tell you how to set up things like cccam which is what you will want.

                  Azbox doesn't have the support (yet)the dream boxes do, I know a few people with azbox and they have all had problems (which they have resolved) if your looking a HD linux box, I would go for the dm800hd, better support being the main consideration.

                      Hi m8 iv one of these azboxes.Its good for feeds if thats what flicks your switch.Tuner not bad,not the worsed by a long shot,not the best either.Some birds tuner seems better than others,i know sounds abit strange this.Firmware is dead slow to come out.20th August we were told not to download bad firmwares.well there been no updates that improve the azbox,this side there sh*t so far.Linux iv never messed with as i hunt feeds.Hope this helps.
