Best box for around £100 ?

[psykix]

Ive just got the edision mini for a friend and i am well impressed with it for £79. Wish i had bought 1 for my bedroom before buying the vu zero.

Why do you prefer it to the Vu Zero?

Why do you prefer it to the Vu Zero?

Firstly price...£20 less but the quality of it feels better to me.
The remote is good and well mapped out, i always found the VU remote was a bit unresponsive and lagged a bit, so much so that i now control the Zero through my tv's HDMI.

i prefer the front panel display.
speed wise and picture quality i would say they are more or less the same.
on the whole i just think its a better built receiver than the Zero with a lower price tag.

Thanks - always good to hear another point of view. I'm looking at getting a receiver to go with my Vu+ Solo 4k, so nice to hear other opinions :-)

Thanks for all the input, i ordered the Edision Mini this morning so will have a look at that on Tues.

Anybody able to offer some more input on Fallback.. I've disabled the tuner and enabled the 2 fallback settings in customise adding the master box IP, do i just need to copy across the Lame.db file from that now or are there any others ?? Is it just a case if frequencies change to copy that over to update the client or is there more to it ??

Thanks

Received my edision os mini's today and am very impressed great boxes for the price! Just one question does anyone know what the red light is for on the front display panel?

@Beanz,







Option 1.



Use Dreamset/E-channelizer to save your bouquets from master receiver. Then send them to client receiver.







Option 2.



Use Bouquet editor in open webif. On master receiver, export the settings (save to PC).



On client receiver, use reverse prcoess. I.E import the bouquets







Option 3



Use the remote channel stream converter plugin, This will import the bouquets from the host receiver. You dont have to worry about bouquets on the client receiiver.

On the mini - how does it record on USB, just as seamless as recording to an internal HDD?

Secondly if I have an external HDD connected through USB can I just use this for recording?

Thanks

RSCS is a plugin. Works in a similar way. This may be better for you.

Do you mean remote channel stream converter?

[abu baniaz]

yes. I will edit posts later. thanks for correction.

no worries - apologies to the OP for the thread hijack - can setup a fresh one if needed.

my slave box doesn't have a sat feed connected to it, I have the RCSC plugin installed and that connects to the host and works really well, why do I need the fallback tuner setting to point to the host? not clear on what its functionality is.....can you clarify.

thanks

They are two different options although work in a very similar way. You only need one of them if you are using a receiver with no signal wire.

Fallback tuner: You need to have bouquets/lamedb on client receiver.
RCSC: It will import the bouquets from the host receiver

right got it

silly question - is there an easy way (maybe use a file from the host box) to get the bouquets on a box configured as fallback only (as a bouquet search will not work without an active signal).

secondly - with fallback mode - is the slave box aware of the timers on the host box so as to avoid timer clashes & tuner availability

Answered that already. IMO, simplest way is to use webinterface, bouquet editor.
Host Receiver: Use export to save the bouquets
Client Receiver: Use import and select the the ones you had exported.

As previously mentioned, with RCSC, you don't have to mess around with this. You can redownload the bouquets using your remote control

secondly - with fallback mode - is the slave box aware of the timers on the host box so as to avoid timer clashes & tuner availability

It is pot luck, even for viewing.

I believe there is a remote timer plugin. You set the timers and recordings on the host receiver. Others may be able to assist better with this option as well as epg.
