info before i buy

[Nav]

Hi guys, i currently have a dm800 sat and amiko t2 cable VM box, lookin to ditch the 2 box setup for a all in 1 type box, before i jump into it just need some pointers. will this box do both jobs in 1? Will it run all e2 plugins/softcams like mgcamd, epg, auto boutiques etc? If anyone knows of any sort of setup guide or where i can find a online manual for a read would be greatly appreciated

[Larry-G]

yes this receiver will run all the usual E2 plugins just fine, barring those that are restricted by licence or hardware conditions. as for a setup guide, have a look on www.openvix.co.uk for the ViX manual and there are flashing tutorials there too for most ViX supported receivers.

Thanks dude, has anyone actually got one running with both sky and vm, jus want to know how easy it is to all setup

I have it set up & running with both, it's relatively easy.

Won't go into all details, but simple steps are setup autobouqetmaker for sky UK or freesat as usual, then set up virgin & your area in autobouqetmaker, run it & then check the free channels work.

The rest of it works exactly the same as on your dm800.

The epg I just updated rytec providers in the crossepg settings & added rytec virgin UK as well as sky UK.

All worked perfectly.

Had to guess at my virgin area number in autobouqetmaker & got it right first time but there's only a couple of numbers to cover each area so will be easy enough to do through trial & error too.

It's an incredible box, my vu duo blew my dm800 away but this is another step up in class from that too.
