    I've PM'ed one of the mods on here asking him if he might consider closing this threat altogether now, as that was the final group buy for now anyway, there isn't much point keeping it open in my opinion. If there is to me a new group buy at some stage, a new thread can be opened.

    Besides, this is the bargain alerts forum and we now have a dedicated threat set up for this wetek so in fairness all questions related to the wetek should really be posted in that thread.

    I dunno if the mod will actually close this or not, but if he does, then all those who were involved in this latest group buy or any of the others for that matter, ye all have a number and an email address for me if ye need to get in touch.

    Have a look in this thread where a forum member has posted a compressed version which is now only 1.2gb in size and he gives the twitter handle of the original creator -

    I think you download it and use DiskImager to put it on Sdcard, but I could be wrong (as I can't seem to get anything right with this box!).

    The 17gb image takes ages to download. Its an IMG file so not even sure how it works. Mine got to 9gb and shut off so didn't bother with it after.

    The one I downloaded was 14.8gb. I think you just load it onto the SD with Diskimager and away you go.

    Someone has compressed it down to less than 2gb apparently. Not sure how.

    If it came with a little adaptor then it's a saorview version, if it had none, then it's the satellite version. That's how I distinguish between them.

    There's loads of options available on sites like aliexpress, wish.com etc. You can pay anything from €25-50+ and you get what you pay for, in most cases.

    Look at the specs. These days I'd say you'd want to aim for a box with 1gb RAM and 8GB NAND as a minimum, although higher specs are preferable to future proof it a little. I have a year old little stick which cost me about €25 and still works fine, along with the WETEK play and M8S+.

    You definitely ordered a sat version and as far as I was concerned that's what you got, I only ordered 12 cable models and they were all marked separately,

    The users who ordered the cable versions were

    Cillers78 x 2
    Bonjo x 2
    Des O donoghue
    UsedToWait
    Clickhere
    Scrunch
    batesy
    Noxin
    Aquos76 x 2

    And they were all processed first, The remaining ones were suppose to be all Sat version, if they weren't well then its Wetek's problem and I'm going to need to take it up with them. Lets wait and see how many more are incorrect before I get on to them

    @everyone

    Can you confirm the cable tuner comes with RF IN/RF OUT and the satellite comes with ANT1 and ANT2?

    DVB-C/T/T2 Tuner has RF IN and RF OUT.

    DVB-S2 Tuner has ANT1 and ANT2

    At this stage 8 of the 12 saorview models have been confirmed as been correct, the other 4 have not been delivered yet. I have spoken to kpn and we have confirmed that his one is indeed the satellite model which he ordered. He thought the adaptor we were talking about was actually the power adaptor. He has checked his tuner for me and it has
    ANT1 and ANT2 on it which is the satellite tuner.

    @soIrish

    From the picture you have sent me, it also seems that you do indeed have the correct tuner installed but for some reason you got that little adaptor included. Thats obviously a packaging issue with wetek themselves

    This is the adaptor we are talking about for anyone who doesnt know

    Hi Folks, I know a lot of people were having trouble setting up tvheadend, me included up until 10 minutes ago.

    When I was following the online tutorials on they just set up one the receivers which did not work for me. I set both of the receivers to the same satellite and I was then able to pick up the channels.

    Hope this helps someone.

    When you do this, you'd still need a savor view antenna, am I correct in thinking that it wouldn't pick anything up from a sky disk input? Just want to be sure before I go hire someone to put up an antenna for me!

    Correct, depending on where your located a simple rabbit ears or indoor antenna might be sufficent to pick up saorview, guys over in terrestial forum would be able to advise better on saorview

    Been round the houses with this one myself!

    Be really careful; even though the Wetek is running OpenELEC 6.0.1, the Linux kernel version on the Wetek is only 3.10 (for other devices the kernel is 4.1). Basically the DVB-T (terrestrial tuner) drivers are built into the kernel.
    This page is very useful for checking what tuner works:
    LinuxTV DVB-T USB Devices

    I ended up getting a second hand PS3 PlayTV tuner for €18 in CeX. Seems to work OK, still (like many on this forum!) working out the bugs, but getting a single combined EPG for the Freesat and Saorview channels. I'm not bothered about OScam or any of that.
    The PlayTV is a dual tuner too, so can potentially watch one mux whilst recording another. Haven't set up recording yet though ... :D
