    I just got one these boxes but cannot get the HD mux from Preseli CH50. I'm getting the other four muxes no problem and also know it can receive RTÉ.
    The specs claim it is DVB-T2 compatible but no signal shows up on CH50 compared to 80% signal on the other muxes which is exactly how my other equipment (non T2) behaves. The country setting is for England.

    Any comments or advice welcome.

    I take it that Max box has only a single tuner with a usb pvr? Did you receive any HD channels since? How much did it cost you? I presume you bought it in Asia over the net? Customs charges? :)

    1. Yes 1x tuner
    2. USB PVR compatible (stick only not HDD)
    3. RTÉ DTT works fine.
    4. Only had a lend from a pal to try it. No idea of cost or source but factory default settings were in Greek.
    Its a pity as it seems a nice box otherwise.

    The Greek for "language" is "γλώσσα" , you may need this :D

    These are seemingly only €29 each from an EU source here

    Cheers for that Sponge Bob. The gadget I was looking at was an actual box not a dongle. I gave it back to the m8 as he's happy with it for RTÉ. I was only trying for FreeView HD which he cant get. I have FreeSat anyways so it would only be for backup if 2 HD progs clashed type of thing.
