Hi guys, new to this so please bear with me.

Two weeks ago I bought the skybox f5 and have tinkered away quite happily since. The thing is I'm quite geeky and love to tinker, and I think I've run out of things I can tinker with on the f5.

Since getting this box I've been reading up on the solo2 and I'm quite keen. It looks a decent unit.

My question is can I transfer the cccam.cfg file from the f5 into this new box?

Any help would be appreciated before I take the plunge.
Cheers.

cccam.cfg is the same file for all enigma2 boxes

Short answer yes, although there is a little more setup involved.

if you are using a official sky card and want to clear movie and sports then you will need a box key, you can try you current config file but if not its not hard to make a new one :thumbsup:

if you search box key there are various threads on the subject! if you are getting a solo2 i am majorly jealous as i want one but wasn't out at the time and ended up with a TM-Twin although i cant fault it at all!

That also looks a decent bit of kit though mate.
Waiting for the discount code and then the order is going through.
Just don't tell the wife how much it cost!

Ha! Same as me then. The skybox was good but didn't quite scratch that itch!
Looking forward to my present to me.

Haha. I just switched my duo for my solo2 without telling the wife whilst she was away.
I was wondering if she'd notice, but she didn't.
She would've gone mental if she knew I'd spent £300 on another sat box.

Ha!
I'll be switching mine over while she's in bed and keeping my fingers crossed!
