    Can anyone recommend a USB tuner that is certified with Openvix images on the Vu Uno for Saorview?

    Dont do it!

    Use Blackhole OE2. Most DVB-T sticks run out of the box.

    I switched for this reason.

    I use an IT9135 €7.

    You could also use a Play TV device.

    The epg in the background is better on Vix. Definitely, but the skins speed and out of the box working dvb-t stick on Blackhole, so much better. I have tried a lot of images!

    Everyone to their own.

    What are the packages like on BH? I am pretty sure Perl wasn't in the repo the last time I used BH. I have a lot of custom scripts and daemons running that depends on Perl. Any chance you could dump an "opkg list" for me!?

    hi I got this one on ebay and it works on my solo2 on vix http://www.ebay.ie/itm/DVB-T-fr-LAPTOP-PC-MINI-DIGITAL-TV-Tuner-USB-Stick-HDTV-/270801105594?pt=UK_Computing_Video_Capture_TV_Tuner_Cards&hash=item3f0d00f2ba and you will need one of these as well http://www.ebay.ie/itm/RF-Coaxial-to-MCX-Antenna-Rooftop-Adapter-DVB-T-TV-/370520668780,you will then need to download the right driver from the feeds in vix, 913x drivers from plugins,,i plugged it in 3 or 4 times and vix never detected it but I tried it a week later and restarted enigma2 and the tuner was detected and worked fine,regards

    I use the PCTV nanoStick T2 in my DUO2 and it works 100%.
    Had used the Sundtek and wintv nova-t and they were both a disaster (for me anyway).

    The only downside is that there are 2 muxes in use in Saorview and its not the cheapest tuner to buy a second one...

    Would recommend it though on experience...
