I was referring to the usb tuner, no good for VU box

the other link was for an F connector

USES of USB DVB-T2 Tuner Stick

• To add a T2 terrestrial input to your Edision OS Mini or other Enigma2 loaded Linux receiver
• To watch Saorview or Freeview HD on a PC or laptop

 

[cactikid]

Compare your link with mine as they look the same but the writing on the usb say ???

 

[cactikid]

Watch DVB-T/T2/C HDTV (Max 1080p)

 

[Craig333]

ok just found this one.... just before i buy it is right yeah? .... https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/VU-TURBO...MA-2-E2-LINUX-SATELLITE-RECEIVER/132725260607

 

[pabloescaban]

Watch DVB-T/T2/C HDTV (Max 1080p)

That's just misleading, the facts are it's a terrestrial tuner;
ADVANTAGES of USB DVB-T2 Tuner Stick

• Turns your Linux twin tuner into a triple tuner (2x Satellite & 1x Terrestrial) receiver
• Turns a single satellite tuner Linux box into a Linux combo box (1x Satellite & 1x Terrestrial)
• Cheaper than buying a new Linux triple tuner or Linux combo receiver
• Can use your PC or laptop monitor as a TV screen

Yes that is what you require

also a splitter and cables, good quality ones, Tratec or Technetix.
To get you from the router/hub to the box ::

 

[Craig333]

sweet cheers, bought it that was a steal tbh.

 

[Craig333]

I have 2 cables one to my router and one to my box so will test everything out then prob split the box connection

 

[cactikid]
