    New box needed...dilema

    All,

    I am looking to shift of to VM while keeping sat (if need be) . After a new box which supports VM and Sat however...If possible i would like just a DVB-C with a Sat Channel list and layout (i.e. Sly Sports 1 HD = 401) Of cause this channel will be coming from VM. I am aware of dslayer's plugin however not sure if that is just for cab+sat boxes where a user wants a Sly Channel list with the SD channels replaced with VM HD Versions. Is it possible to have channels from VM but a channel list with HD channels replacing SD versions like Sky?

    4K would be nice however it can come at a hefty charge. I have seen the Octagon SF4008 however doesn't look like it is Vix Capable yet, if you like..(correct me if wrong)

    Any help appreciated!

    Hi if i was you & based on your choice id look at mutant hd51 £189 with twin tuners from wos plus you can add an internal hdd at a later date, the os mega £179 ok you can add hdd also.

    if your looking long term the mutant is a no brainer & its blistering fast box, ive got the mutant with both cable & sky tuners plus a 500gb hdd installed & it works perfectly

    Soooo, looked on WoS site and only seem to be able to add 2 satellite tuners? Do WoS do cable tuners or do I have to buy them from elsewhere?

    WoS are currently out of stock of Hybrid cable tuners for the HD51. If you had scrolled down further you would have seen it.

    All, I'm split between buying a Hybrid such as the Mutant HD51 or whether to go for the Vu Solo V2 DVB-C version. If i was to get the Vu Solo, can I have a Satellite layout of channels like I have in AB 28.2? I want to move over to cable with the box I select working exactly the same as my current Vu+ Zero but of cause with the HD channels swapping out the SD versions...

    I mentioned I have AB 28.2, are you saying this is the same? Or are you saying the normal ABM is the same on cable?

    You would need to use a CustomMix file to do what you require.

    Ok, so I'm looking at the Mutant HD51, obviously i'd buy it from WoS Sponsor and ask for it to be flashed to Vix straight away. I'd hook both the sat and cable up, scan etc for channel, now this is where there could be a problem.

    Is there away to have my bouquets exactly like AB 28.2e? Does DSayers add on do this? Like
    Mentioned earlier, I want to port over to cable + sat from just sat so my box UI is exactly the same as before it just has the HD channels in there swapping out the SD channel.

    Thanks for all the support!

    I'm not exactly sure what your after but my plugin wil download the custommix to swap unavailable sky hd channels with virgin hd channels. Ie sky sports 1 hd will be swapped for the cable version. Without a custommix.xml using abm or abe2 sky uk your area custom will swap the unavailable sat channels with there sd equivalent
