I thought I'd better let you have some feedback on the Venton HD2 I bought
last week.
Ordered late Thursday, and delivered before 11am Friday. Nice work!
I didn't get chance to play with the box until Saturday afternoon, but had
soon fitted my own 3.5 1Tb hard drive in it, and booted it up. The box set
off, and did it's thing, automatically detecting the drive, and setting the
recording paths etc. After that, it was just the usual wait while the box
scans for services, and then a little while longer while it download the epg
which is built in as default. It didn't take long.
The only thing I had to do, was upload cccam, as it can't be installed from
the plugin manager. Again, a minor problem.
Apart from that, the box is up running, and impressing me greatly!
I have diddled with a few settings, just to personalise it, but essentially,
the box works perfectly as it is.
The epg is clear, and intuitive, so much so, that my wife has worked out how
to use the box, and now my only regret is I didn't get the HD3 for the extra
tuner! She will fill that terrabyte soon I'm sure ?
Thanks very much for the recommendation, and quick service. It is a box I
would, and already have recommended to others.
I'll point them in your direction.
To any of you considering this box, I wouldn't hesitate to recommend it.
It is quick, very easy to use with the VIX image, and takes almost no setting up.
For the price, I doubt it could be beaten.
Just for the record, I currently own a DM500HD, 2x DM500, and a technomate TM5402.
Balls, can't edit the typo in the title !
