Bear in mind this box has a h265 capable video chip, so it would be a different beast from HD chipped boxes, regardless of the processor. If anything, I'd be concerned that a chip designed for 2160 resolution might not be optimised for SD or even hd, plus the issue of setting the output to UHD then expecting the box to upscale SD without visible artefacts. We discussed this at length on the alien thread a while back.

The problem I have now is that I am unable to access webif! using 8093 port that I used only the day before IP address is the same I can access oscam with port 8888 I have enabled webif in the plugins with HTTP authentication and port 8001 I tried it without http authentication but I can't even connect to it. I reboot box and have reflashed it twice with no luck!! Am I missing something? I changed my password on the box using DCC would that have caused any issues? Can I check something in oscam (8888) that might point me in the right direction? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

BobbyT28 wrote: » Ok, I've changed port on webif plugin to 80 from 8001 and I can now connect to webif. THANK YOU Have ports 8001, 8093, 80 all forwarded to Xtrend IP. How do I change the port to 8093 and use 8001on the webif? Thanks again BobbyT28

Says Derby and says it will be delivered to Ireland within a week or two, but he has attached a China Post tracking #. Could have got it from a Chinese listing for half that price if that is what I wanted. Urgently needed a replacement remote too :mad: Says original too, which I assume is also b***ocks.http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/282295481234?_trksid=p2060353.m2749.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT

The box arrived yesterday (I went for standard delivery), and I got to plug it in and set it up last night. €205 with the boards discount. I am coming from an Amiko Alien 2, so I was hoping to see have a generally quicker experience with this STB I got a openvix backup image from TechKings, the install is a piece of cake. Just plug in the USB with the image on it and turn on the STB. First impressions are good, it is a lot quicker navigating around the menus, changing channels and watching recordings. It took me a while to get the bouquets in a familiar order to the way they were on the AA2, I needed to do this to pass the family usability test. The image I have has a lot more options when it comes to setting up the bouquets, a little consuming tbh but I got there in the end. I was able to plug in my Samsung USB hard drive so no loss of recordings made on the AA2. The only downside so far is that some of the SD channels appear to be not as clear as on the AA2. I didn't spend long investigating this as it was late, but channels such as be on saorview do not look good on the OS Mega. It is not terrible but it noticeable. Another boardsie recommended adjusting the AV settings to see if that improves, I'll give that a go at some point and see if that improves things. So happy with performance of the box, definitely a step up from the AA2. I'll report back after I've played with the AV settings.
