Hi all,
been a while since I posted on here, just thought I'd mention that I recently bought an 8500 from the sponsors, with 1 DVB-C tuner and 1 DVB-S2 tuner, pre-installed Vix ver. 4.2.013.
Only had it for a couple of days and decided I wanted another DVB-C tuner, yesterday tuner arrived and I installed it, only to discover the 1st 2 channels (can't remember what they were) I tried to record were the same as this thread http://www.world-of-satellite.com/showthread.php?53060-Recording-issue.
Due to work I couldn't play about again until tonight.
After reading the forum I saw that openvix-4.1.016 seemed to be working fine for recording.
So I downgraded 8500 to "openvix-4.1.016.release-et8500_usb" and channels recorded fine.
Next step was to ftp to the 8500 and copy the drivers - dvb.ko from /lib/modules/4.4.8/extra/ to my PC before upgrading to the latest Vix "openvix-4.2.016.release-et8500_usb" (problem with recordings still in this version).
Next step was to ftp the drivers back to 8500 from openvix-4.1.016 to openvix-4.2.016, fully rebooted 8500 and all seems to be well so far.
Reason for doing this was so I could dim the lcd after a certain time, otherwise I would have stayed on openvix-4.1.016.
Hopefully be of use to someone
If you do try this - it's at your own risk, but it seems to work for me
