[QUOTE="astra19, post: 1131906, member: 413666"] Just got my SX87 through the door, seems like a decent little bit of kit. Out of the box, I'm quite impressed how well it works. There's a built-in app called E2TV which reads the bouquets from another box. All I had to do was enter the box's IP address and it worked immediately. A couple of issues, but I suspect I'll be able to use a different plug in or set-up to solve them, but interested in input: - Encrypted channels work well, they take maybe a couple of seconds to load but that's not bad with such a cheap box - IPTV channels do not seem to work using E2TV. That's a bit of a pain since a fair chunk of my bouquets are channels which stream online. - EPG doesn't seem to carry over. Might be because of the lack of space on the box but I'm not sure how to rectify that. - It seems pretty self-contained in the app. It'd be nice if I can get it to replicate a regular channel list. You can autostart the E2TV app though which is nice. From my VU box I think I can generate an m3u which I could then load onto this Octagon box. I'll probably try that next but keen to hear if anybody else has other creative solutions. Thanks for the recommendations, this seems like it'll be a pretty user-friendly solution when I sort out the kinks. Even if I just used this as-is it'd be fine though. [/QUOTE]
