[QUOTE="jeallen01, post: 1038950, member: 176704"] Update - I was going to junk the Solo2 as it has a dead HDMI port, but have now got the m/c outputing from the SCART socket to a SCART-to-HDMI adapter like [URL='https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B073DZ1DTY/ref=pe_3187911_185740111_TE_item']this one [/URL]- needs a 5V supply but comes with a USB lead for that and luckily there are 2 USB ports on the rear panel. That bit was quite easy, but getting it to work with a WiFi dongle in the other rear panel USB port was not because it seems that this receiver - certainly when running OpenVix 4 - is very "picky" as to the chipsets it will support and I couldn't even find a suitable driver for an RTI8192 chip set dongle when I told it to download the driver plugins (via the wired LAN). Finally got it to work with the Octagon WL008 mentioned above! Then installed the latest version of OpenVix Gen 5 but still have to transfer the latest Cateye channel list (although not today!)
