Hi
I got my first sat dish and tm6900 1m motorised just over a year ago, and recently got the diablo cam which was all very good until recently.
I have spent today reading and trying understand linux based systems for cs and am deciding between the azbox premium and the dm8000 hd.
I have a few questions for anyone who is willing to help me make a decision on this upgrade.
1. When I remove my technomate 6900 can i just replace it with the azbox ? will it work with my motorised set up ?
2. Can i record to my 1.5tb external hard drive hd channels and normal channels and set up weekly timers etc ?
3. To do CS do I have to own a payed for sub card and share it ?
4. Why is it important to so many people to be able to use cccam and become a server ? What is the advantage of being a server and do I have to leave the box on perminently 24/7 to share ?
5. Do I get alot less channel on the azbox than the mega expensive dm8000 hd ? Is it the case the more peers the better ?
6. If the azbox premium is wifi, does this mean I just connect it to my wirless home net work, and all is done , no leads between pc or router ever required ?
7. Once set up is the azbox fairly easy to use ? Can i come home from work and turn it on and quickly get to watching tv. Can the Wife use it easily and record her favorate programs like on the tm6900 ?
8. Can this box record 1 channel and watch another at the same time? how does this whole record funtion work with fta and encrypted channels as I want to be able to record everything ?
9. Whats open on this box, or does that relate directly to who your peers are ?
10. If money was not an issue would you go for the established dm8000 or the axbox premium ? Or may be neither, any other suggestions ?
Im completley new to linux and cs but am prepared to learn, my questions are to people who use the azbox and know how it works. Its all very confusing at the moment. Enigma, mbox, incubus etc. Are these all programs I install on the azbox? Can i put all 3 on or just 1. So much to work out for a complete beginer !!!
Any way thanks in advance for anyone who has the time to repond.
