Hi
My Miraclebox Premium Twin was delivered yesterday, initial thoughts:
Pro's
--------
OpenVix all looks familiar and works fine
Responsive GUI
Does what it says on the tin
Cons:
--------
- No picons with openvix, where can I get these? tried a couple of the picon downloads from plugins but none work
- A slight whirling from the box when its switched on, very very faint but still there. Anyone else notice this?
- USB Infrared eye thing that I use doesnt work quite as well with this box (I keep it in a closed cabinet). I'll maybe look at alternative ones see if I get any mileage - recomendations welcomed.
- Remote layout is different to vu+, sure no one likes change but I really miss the blue button not being in the usual place, you have you stretch your thumb to get to it.
- On HD chans I'm seeing clearing times of 1-2seconds, which feels a bit slow. Is this to be expected on cable? Or is it a box thing? Clearing was definitely faster on a solo2 on Sat. FTA channel zapping seems ok
Setup:
Box: Miraclebox Premium Twin HD (2xDVB-C)
Image: Latest Vix 015 (openvix-Apollo.015-mbtwin_usb)
Network: Gigabit LAN, 100Mb VM package
Hard drive: 3.5" 1TB
The remote is the only slight let down for me and im only really on about the blue button positioning
try using oscam to speed up zapping

I agree - remote is poorly laid out and buttons have a "dead" feel to them. The blue LED in deep standby is bright (have a bit of tape over it). Otherwise, good value for money and versatile with DVB-S and DVB-T2 tuners.I have a bit of a gripe about the recording icon being constantly active, but it can be switched off in Front Display Settings.
@nezzeo - there is a fan in the box, over at the power supply side. This is probably what you're hearing.

I have also put tape over the overly bright blue light i dont know what purpose it has for being so bright
cant see any way to turn it odd in settings

Quick Tip, I bought short a coax male to female cable to run between the 2 tuners (loopback) to save on doing a splitter and 2 separate feeds but noticed that the moment the second tuner is connected the signal drops from 99% all the way down to 25% and lower on some channels (not all). Removing it and trying the tuners individually the SNR is always 99%.
Tried a splitter to 2 coax's connected independently and now its always ~99% on all channels. Glad I found this now rather than when I was relying on a record Time
