    Just to clarify incase anyone thinks I got some mixed up, I didn't :), the two users who thought they had received the wrong one did so on the basis they had both gotten a 3 pin plug adaptor included in their parcel. They weren't aware the adaptor I was referring to was actually the f-connector to coax adaptor.

    where is the cheapest place to get the sat box. besides a group buy. Aquos76 said 83 euro to me, but when i go to wetek site its €129.89.
    even without the tuner its just over a 100.
    unless you meant some else Aquos76.

    thanks

    Thanks Aquos collected mine today now just to get them set up.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,717 ✭✭✭yllw.ldbttr


    Thanks Aquos, mime arrived in Glanmire earlier.

    Box is not seeing any tuners listed in the Tvheadend Web interface so hopefully it's a config thing rather than a dodgy piece of hardware. If anyone has encountered this issue and resolved it please let me know.

    Off to the support forums I go.

    That's giving me a 404, maybe because I'm on mobile. Will check when at a desktop tomorrow. Thanks.

    Cheers Aquas collected mine today. Unfortunately haven't a clue how to set it up. I have a sky dish, any tips or hints would be greatly appreciated. Thanks guys in advance.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,766 ✭✭✭RossieMan


    Look at Google. There is a thread here for it.

    There is no noob guide for this box, its not a plug and play as had been said 100 times now.

    Itll require a bit of knowhow to set up.

    +1 and that knowhow is usually the 1st hit on google :D

    Thanks Aqous, mine landed safe and sound. Fair play to you, a lot of work and feck all pay.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 14 anthony gggg

    Looks like they have gone up to €99 now, so we really did get a bargain at €63 all in. And to the user who said I said €83 to you, I'm sure I would have said €63 in a group buy or €89.99 direct from wetek on your own. I've no idea wher the figure of €83 came from.

    In all fairness im quite surprised really that these 'tv box sets/android box sets' require quite a bit of knowledge... Even more than the nitty gritty of pc's!!!

    There's a new(ish) one out that requires no knowledge.

    Plug it in, attach cables to tuner(s) and just open required viewing.

    swear i must have a faulty box i have been trying all night to watch diff links and none of them work or they time out im using 100mg wifi and on kodi and thats all i use it for, and have only ever been able to watch one movie on it, is it something i havent done? or is it just faulty?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,393 ✭✭✭AnCatDubh


    Big thanks to Aquos76 - absolute gent. Arrived in PM on Saturday evening, picked up Saturday evening, up and running within 5 minutes :D

    Initial impressions - They are a fantastic little box. I think they've done a great job with their WeOS (android+skin). RTE player is sh**e on them but I gather that is the same on any (most) android device (hit and miss basically) so the Wetec isn't at fault :D [shakes fist at RTE]

    I know lots of people are modding them and so forth which is fine (and having varied experiences) but out of the box (openelec) or with their android OS variant - the boxes themselves are fabulous. Lots of fun and entertainment for the future.

    Thanks again.

    I added superepo (http://srp.nu) and enabled isengard but I found that superrepo is not officially supported repo by wetek openelec ...I was able to add bbc pod cast just to check...it worked but it hung after some time so I restarted t;wetek boxafter re-start I see the screen with Kodi v15.2 isengard and the screen freezes..

    Is there a factory reset (I haven’t done anything yet so it would be ok) or do I need to re-install the openelec ?
    Thx

    You might be using an old version of an addon maybe?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 85 ✭✭kpn


    I don't know ..but now I am not able to use the menu options or anything since the screen freezes with 'Kodi v15.2 Isengard' message. I am just wondering is there a way to get the wetek back to working mode?

    I think some people mentioned it could be an issue with superuser

    This thread is the one if you want help with the box
