    people who are looking for a bargain from the bargain thread just pay €5 or more
    for his (effort & responding the email & order & collecting the goods & repacking & sending)
    it's a big job, he is not expecting anything more than your thanks... but we have to respect his work....

    here, here. guy can be as modest has he wants and he won't say it but i sure will. whats this now 3rd time around ????. Aquos76 you should round that number to €65 and I would challenge anyone to say you were ripping them off or begrudge you the €

    there are likely boards.ie rules etc , but i'm sure they can't see hat tips to the guy on pay pal :D

    A satellite one for your da and he's up and running. As for you, well you need a dish to avail of the U.K. channels. The UPC you currently have is of no benefit with this box, either cable or satellite.

    Switched to Android on the internal memory last night. Took about 30 mins and much of that time was taken up downloading of the android version.

    It's definitely worth doing, even for a test period to see the capability of the box beyond openelec. Installed a few standard android apps from Playstore and also sideloaded an .apk very easily.

    Kodi worked nicely and comes preinstalled as part of the android build.

    The switching instructions are here http://www.boards.ie/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=2057531921&page=12

    Aquos just on the email sent out last night.

    When you mention payment details do you just mean you want us to indicate what method we will pay with or do you want payment now?

    I didn't want to reply to the email with this question because I know you have your hands full with those.

    Cheers, so it doesn't matter which one I get, then? Should I just get a satellite one as well, in case I decide to go the freeview route at some point?

    Definitely, otherwise you are getting a DVBT tuner which will only get you Saorview. Get the Satellite tuner. No question.

    I'm assuming that you are in an area where you can:

    a. install a dish and
    b. Have clear line of site in a southerly direction.

    Yes to both of those questions. The house I'm in had a non-sky dish already installed when we moved in, so it won't be an issue. Cheers for the quick response.

    Other than a microSD card, is there anything else people should be getting for these boxes? Remote / keypad combo or anything of that nature?

    If you are going to be using the enigma2 images such as openatv or PBNIgma then alot of people recommend the enigma2 remote as while the openelec one is usable it makes life a little awkward at times..

    The enigma 2 remote is a must have on the wetek is you aren't using android/OE. It's absolutely brilliant. Theyre using Slovenian post to ship it now though so takes much longer to arrive. Still waiting on mine which was sent last thursday.

    The logitech keyboard that was on alerts a while ago is ideal for this system

    I bought one of these for my old Android box, would these works with Enigma2?

    Payment sent :D, great idea, cheers Aquos.

    This might be able to stop the missus grumbling about me having got rid of $ky a few weeks ago.

    Can you watch any of the paid U.K. satellite channels using this box?

    Two AAA batteries for the remote. :-)
