Ha!

Well, just starting now. First impression is you need batteries for the remote!
Also comes with a three pin adaper plug but it didn't seem to work. Just plugged in with the two pin adaper.
Boots into Openelec, which is just Kodi I suppose. Not sure if I can install a build Like Black Box onto it. Hooked in the sat cables from the Sky dish but no clue how to get that part going. It'll be a steep learning curve. Wish I had an idiots guide or something :-)

Got my box this evening, thanks!

Anyone having issues with the plug?

Been browsing Amazon for USB DVB-T tuners to add to my DVB-S2 Wetek
Play (whilst I'm waiting for it to arrive :P).

There's a selection for £10 - £15 which seems a nice price, for example:
August DVB-T 202 / 205 / 208

Anyone here know which will work with the Wetek (presumably under OpenELEC)? From the Amazon comments a few look promising, but I know Linux support can be hit and miss.

Originally I was thinking I'd install Enigma2 to make a combi satellite and terrestrial receiver, but from reading the (many!) comments here and on other sites it seems Enigma2 on the Wetek is still a little immature.
Still in 2 minds whether to run as stand-alone OpenELEC or Kodi under Android.

Any pointers appreciated!

The three pin adaper that came in the package? Didn't seem to work for me so I just used the two pin adaper.

Have a question if nobody minds. I got me text from nightline with a pin number just. Holy do I know which locker it's in?

Go to whatever PM you elected for and on the screen type click collect my Parcel.

Type in your mobile number and pin and the correct locker will open.

picked up my box from Parcel Motel at six yesterday . A lot earlier than I expected . Thanks again Emmet

As much as you are correct it's still strange to hear someone refer to yesterday when it's 12.45 at night (morning)

http://tutorials.wetek.com/tutorial/5 shows that the device should have an activation code, where can I find this?

In the other thread someone said we need to unscrew the device and get the security SIM, is that it?

I thought that too but you don't get or need need a code with this particular box. This is an Openelec model, which is worth keeping in mind when you're looking for tutorials. You also don't need to take it apart to get at a SIM.

I'm trying to keep my setup as simple as possible until I learn more. The Wetek forums are a good place to start from scratch. Most important thing for me is hooking it up to the satellite. Have that done now but trying to figure out how to delete the hundreds of excess channels and set it up to record.

One thing I'd say to anybody thinking of buying one of these - If you don't like tinkering around, think again! It's far removed from plug and play but if you like a challenge, it'll keep you busy :-)

Collected mine this morning, thanks again Aquos!
