Interesting this , I listed my SF8008 for sale , struggled with getting epg to load and box crashing at least once an hour on vix with a slyk skin. I used openatv in another slot with kiddac skin , no crashes at all but couldn't get epg to load. Then Willo , made me an IPTV only script for use with vix and I left it running with onyx , the channels and EPG were sorted but its now gone back to crashing constantly , I sent him a crash log originally but he couldn't find anything on it to give us a clue. Had a full reflash hasn't helped.Am seriously thinking of putting this box back up for sale , will have to drop the price sadly. Willo is sunning it in Cypress , the lucky ****

Thought I give it another go with a better box and some 8 or so years later they ought to be.
But now thinking of getting a recordable free view box,as life’s to short to mess about for hours on end

Which devices do you have?I first tried the Zgemma h2 I think it was years ago but gave up on it as it was not reliable enough,went back to sky

What inputs are available, sat dish, rooftop aerial etc.
What do you normally watch? Sports, movies, free channels, documentary etc?
There's no reason that a half decent e2 Box can't recieve iptv, freesat, and freeview depending on what tuners are available
No free view box is a patch on the octagon.I first tried the Zgemma h2 I think it was years ago but gave up on it as it was not reliable enough,went back to sky

Note for openvix user you will need to uncomment the vix include from skin.xml after install. There is a screen that clashes with openatv so has to be a separate.*
Epg your provider needs to have it.
