Hi

I know there Is Vix, Open Aaf, Vti, Blackhole
I am after steady performance and CCcam and Mgcamd

[Stanman]

It all comes down to personal preference and I would say try all of them but IMHO VIX is best.

[sasho]

thank you for reply
does Vix have problems with Mgcamd as I read somewhere

[Stanman]

Some people have had setup issues but from the posts I have read, all been sorted with help from the resident experts.

VIX is on my Ultimo.... works spot on! (using latest cc.... 2.30)

Vix is ok for Solo, Duo etc... but for my Ultimo i'm not sure... The vix image is still not 'Ultimo friendly' enough. (*Personal optinion*)
Maybe later Vix builds will be better.

In what way is it Ultimo "unfriendly"?

I personally dont get that statement The ViX image is virtually identical along the entire range of receivers we support. In what way do you believe it's not "Ultimo friendly" ?.

My thoughts too.

I'm not so satisfied with the lcdpicon functionality. This will maybe be fixed in next release. Also, in comparison with other images, I find the different menu's to download plugins, packages etc not really easy in use. Not that i'm a n00b but when you see other images it's plain difficult and not so 'user friendly', but this I also noticed with the Duo.

Another thing is the Ultimo remote. Until today I still don't see where I can use the keyboard. Maybe I'm missing something.

Short conclusion: I don't see Vix getting the most out of a +500Eur box.

In what way? Its completely customisable so you can amend as you see fit!

What do you want to use it for? Its generally used with the likes of the web browser or youtube!

What image do you think gets the most out of a €500 box? (and why?)

I'm finding it hard to add picon's. Why have a different size of picons when there is a 'default' size used by other images.

This is probably related to the fact I don't find enough usefull addons and plugins in the lists provided by Vix.

I haven't had the time to install a lot of different images but I've seen some with streaming servers and DLNA. (This is just an example!)

Just to get the record straight: I'm not negative about Vix, it's stable and does what it has to do. But I find the out-of-the-box image a bit basic. (no offence)
It's maybe just me wanting way too much.

[Larry-G]

again i'm not really following your logic here. dont get me wrong i am certainly not having a go at you i am very interested in hearing your views and we always listen to peoples views so we can improve ViX where and when possible.

I'm not so satisfied with the lcdpicon functionality. This will maybe be fixed in next release.

we chose not to produce or release a set of LCD picons for ViX as we prefer to keep the VFD clean and personally i see no practical reason for having picons on the VFD but thats just my opinion. you can however if you choose use LCD picons in fact there is a rather nice pack by sandman.

Also, in comparison with other images, I find the different menu's to download plugins, packages etc not really easy in use. Not that i'm a n00b but when you see other images it's plain difficult and not so 'user friendly', but this I also noticed with the Duo.

well that is just a matter of personal taste but i find it easily the most user friendly menu setup of any enigma / enigma 2 based image

where exactly do you expect to be able to use a Qwerty keyboard on a satellite receiver ?.

as for getting the most out of a 500 plus euro receiver maybe your expectations are a touch on the high side ?.

There is no default size! Matrix over at BlackHole suggested 110x40 when I initially started making picons...I tested and thought it was a good size!
There aren't many VFD picon creators and any I've seen converted to a different size don't look the best but as its early days there is no standard...

I've only ever used BlackHole and VIX...theres a fair bit more customisation available with VIX but I wouldn't consider either basic!
VIX also comes with a lot less 'fluff' installed which I constantly found myself uninstalling so maybe you're used to seeing a lot more 'extras' when installing an image...I'd rather have the option to add if needs be (theres a lot to be said for a clean image!)
