Nbox BSLA Enigma2 HD Dual Tuner 250 Gb

[manicscrewdriver]

As much as some of the bad things i have said about the Alien boxes, most of them were directed at the Alien2 which has the STi 7162 chipset not the STi7100 or STi7101 chipsets. I got my Alien SHD8900 running quite nicely before it stopped working, it was a pity the same couldn't have been said about the Alien2. I can quite honestly say the Alien2 was the worst box i have ever had the displeasure of owning.

The good thing i find about the nBox is that you don't have the crappy Spark system to worry about taking up half the space available in Flash. This is what attracted me to this box, plus the twin tuner and Harddrive. Its a cheap box that will hopefully do the job its been purchased for.

If you really think about it in essence all it is, is like a jail broken Sky+ HD Box, just with a bit more memory and better software. I haven't managed to find out what Chipset a Sky+ HD box uses unfortunately to make a complete analogy

I'm not expecting this box to be all singing all dancing, i'm just expecting it to work and do what it says it does. I have my other boxes for running plugins and stuff like that with.

I may try to set it up so my Gigablue can record to the HDD in it but that will probably be about it.

Mr Mister, i have 3 other boxes running VIX, plus the nBox is mainly for the kids to use

I just want something new to play with, plus it will keep the kids away from my boxes

I can finally delete all the stuff from Nickelodeon that's filling up the hard drive on my TM-2T.

nanochickin i ordered mine last wednesday. the guy i got my off get it from poland unmoddfied and does the soldering etc... i read reviews of people saying once set up. will compete with the high end market. the reason why i got one was for record one channel watch another. good epg and simple layouts. plus lots of plug ins

[manicscrewdriver]

Was it Euro Trans you had it from by any chance?

[chriss171]

yes mate it was. he says 7 days from ordering to delivery. i spoke to him yesterday and he said i will receive it tomorrow (fingers crossed)

[manicscrewdriver]

It uses a chipset similar to the Amiko Alien SHD8900 so i have no idea how ell the E2 plugins would work on it. Should be interesting to find out though

[chriss171]

considering this is my second box as im new to this its gunna be a challenge lol ive currently got open box x3 nothing like the nbox lol

[manicscrewdriver]

Oh dear lol

Be prepared for a very steep learning curve my friend

I'll help as much as i can but obviously due to forum rules there will be certain parts that you will be on your own with

Personally would not touch these with a bargepole. Anything not broadcom based runs Enigma 2 poorly. These units from what I've read are hardware modified to run E2 and furthermore most sellers are only offering around 3 months warranty. Stick with XP1000, TM-Single or TM-2T if you want something competitively that work, has full warranty and best all runs ViX .

I never purchased one in the end. I just bought the ultimo from the sponsor.

My nBox5800SX came yesterday and i set it up for my daughter to use and i have to say i'm well impressed with it. I have it running PKT Nebula Zero with OSCam and it does what it says on the tin. Its not the fastest box in the world and it does lag a little when changing channels, although the CrossEPG plugin works well with it and recording on it isn't an issue either. I'm actually very impressed with it.

Its not at a standard yet where i would call it competitive against my other boxes, but its not bad at all

I will have to play with it more to decide how good it actually is but at the moment it looks promising considering the SH4 chipset it uses.

also recieved my nbox yesterday and i too am impressed. big jump and learning curve from openbox to nbox but thankfully i pick things up quickly. couldnt get oscamm to work on nebula 2 (dont know why) so used mgcamd config file and the mgcamd 135 easier to set up.

[manicscrewdriver]

Took me about 2 mins to set it up. I had already written the OSCam config files for it a few nights ago. All i had to do is install OSCam 1.20 SVN 8398 on it and its working absolutely peachy.

If your not used to it OSCam isn't the easiest emu to get you head round.

What plugins work with this box? I got one setup up emu etc all fine but want too try some plugins. Where did you get crossepg for this box? In the information screen it says 2013-01-18-MASTER Release 8.0.0

[manicscrewdriver]

To be totally honest i don't really use that many plugins on any of my boxes, even the MIPS ones. The CrossEPG was already preinstalled in PKT Nebula

Don't expect the nbox to run all the available E2 plugins because it won't due to the limitations of the chipset. Most plugins are written to work on a MIPS box not an SH4 one.

If you are running a different image from PKT Nebula Zero you can use the cross epg IPK.file i have attached. It's for SH4 chipset receivers not MIPS based ones.

I haven't installed any other plugins on my nBox but it should be the same as most other Enigma2 receivers. Copy the uncompressed file (uncomress the downloaded file with WinRAR first) over to tmp folder on the box, CHMod (Change the files attributes) to 755 and install from blue button.
