I've just been watching a video, scan setup and scanning, a fair few clicks for the first setup, once setup it looks very good and quick.

Same here J, ive been reading up on this box for a few days now, and I must say it looks good, with plenty of support, any questions on the forum are answered straight away good support, also very impressed with the delivery, at 7am this morning it was 10 miles away from my home, it should be with me today:)

I did not realise our sponsor have them in stock.

Hi, first impressions are looking good all round for the WeTek, I will try and find time over the weekend and set Tvheadend up for scanning, the scanning out of the box is good and accurate, its matching my favourite box for blind scan (x2) but a little slower,

I need to spend time with this box its not a box you could learn in a day, its got so much going for it, and WeTek are prepared to listen to our needs :),

A few more pictures of what's inside the box :), I will be updating this thread as and when I have time to do further tests:).

Hi, I will check the EPG out for you in the coming days, ive been busy with work and not had chance to do much with this box, I have had a play with the XBMC side, and it blinds my raspberry pi, its very stable and responsive, from a quick read I need to find a micro sd card out to install openelc and try tvheadend and other stuff out, just keep checking in I will be updating this thread as and when I find time to do so:)

Ooh are we maybe talking multistream/PLS as well? TVHeadend has this functionality built in for compatible tuners!

Thank you for the information, I will be testing the tuner for this in the coming days, all I can tell you is :), I have put a few ideas to WeTek and all of the above is included,

WeTek are following this thread and prepared to listen to our needs :). any more sensible suggestions please shout up :).

compatible tuners

Like I said I will check the tuner for this as soon as I find time, but I guess if it does not work this should be an easy fix for them, you can swap the tuner in seconds :)

That's really promising news! Thanks :-) I'm looking for a multistream/PLS capable set-up with TVHeadend for the Italian and French terrestrial feeds on 5°W.

The functionality to support compatible cards (like the TBS ones) was added to TVHeadend fairly recently I think. I use it on my media centre setup and in the transponder list in TVH when you edit a transponder's details there's stream ID, PLS Mode and PLS code boxes (I have a DVBSky card which isn't multistream capable so I haven't tried it out myself).

Nice. Add TI2 demodulation to that too!
