Opticum HD AX-ODIN DVB-C Linux HDTV Cable Receiver any info on this box any one

Hi mate, only just noticed this thread.

I would go for a Linux E2 type box loaded with the VIX image.

Try world of sat, a lot of boxes have switchable tuners which means the model can take either sat or cable or both

I am using a combo, so one sat tuner and one cable. I run two lines
so I can record on sat and watch cable or vise versa.

(No setanta on cable and my server is only doing ppv events on sky too, like the boxing)

I would fire an email off to them and see what they recommend.

There is a tutorial here

The only difference with these type boxes is that you use filezilla to ftp, (or send the file with your line to the box)
instead of using a USB.

Autoboquets allows the box to search for channel frequency changes overnight while on standby and also
you can also set it to update the EPG daily while on standby.

Sat and cable setup is pretty similar you will just need your net id for cable.

It looks like it will do both.

Pretty sure you will still need to ftp your line to the box.

Can't you get your hands on a computer to do it ?

Think you are stuck with Amiko or Q5 for your budget and USB method.

The box looks like it comes with the firmware installed.

You just download filezilla client version, it's free, get your IP address from the box using menu - information.

If you have a Cline line use CCcam, N line use MG Camd.

Paste your line into CCcam.cfg or newcamd.lst (they are only notepad files) depending on which cam you are using
send it to the box using filezilla.

Then in the menu switch the cam on

It really isn't complicated, it's just a bit different from the USB method, but you are only doing the same thing.

It's a lot easier when you have the box in front of you.
 
The guide will be very similar to the one linked in post 2.

The firmware (or image as it's known on linux type boxes) will be pretty much
the same no matter what make of box you buy.
 
Think it all comes down to "you get what you pay for"

The more expensive boxes have a lot more features and a better build quality,

There seems to be a big gap in price between the budget boxes and better boxes on the cable side.
