    It's really not that hard to set up if you take your time. Oscam was the only thing I struggled with. But found great help when setting it up, I'd happily help anyone struggling to set it up.

    Running various sat boxes and media players a good few years now but I have to say the Wetek box done my head in, settled on a Technomate combo for Sat/Saorview and Amazon fire TV for Kodi, peace of mind at last.

    I was thinking that would be the route I'd go down next. Very happy with the Amazon for Kodi and really all I wanted the Wetek for was the Sat/Saorview. I was hoping to have everything running on the one box but I reckon I'm asking a bit much. Have a USB tuner in the post for the Saorview so that'll be a bit of fun setting that up.

    Hey Guys,

    So ive got the box running video add-ons ect but struggling to get it to scan for live tc channels.
    Ive installed and enabled tvheadend and setup the pvr tvheadend client.

    However when i go to search for channels i get on live tv tab i get a message "none of the connected pvr backends supports scanning for channels"

    After a bit of searching it looks like im struggling with the backend/ pc setup part.....When i open web browser and enter my ip address there is suppose to be a tv adapters tab but i dont have that.

    Any ideas where im going wrong ?

    Can you be so kind as to point to some links that have a backup for Enigma2 that I could put on SD card and just 'plug and play' (within reason!!)

    There's an image on one of the threads here. 1.2gb zipped but you need a 16gb card minimum to run it.

    Proceed with caution. I was delighted to get PBnigma up and running on mSD with a freesat bouquet in just half an hour, but I could not boot back into Android afterwards.

    Ended up having to use the recovery interface to get things back to normal.

    PBnigma seemed to work very well with the box BTW.

    Enigma image couldnt be any easier to setup for FTA, it has a walk through setup.. not sure why you'd need a backup. If you think the backup will help with OSCAM it wont you'll still have to config it.

    Just got my box and following the tvheadend instructions.
    No tuners listed for me when I visit the wen interface. Anyone got any suggestions.
    Google returns results of possible faulty hardware... Which would not be my first guess.

    Yet more silly question from me....Trying to get tvheadend working and not going well....I presume i use 28.2E for scanning channels?
    I was only seeing 1 tv adapter showing in tvheadend earlier so i pop out the tuner and saw a wonky looking pin..Straightened that back up and popped it back in and now cannot get any tv adapter to show in tvheadend.
    Do you need to have the cables connected to the tuner for it to be listed in tvheadend or would it be picked up over wireless connection? Getting fed up changing the cables in and out of sky box to try get this setup.

    I was only getting 1 adaptor showing up the first time I tried it, had to reboot a few times while setting things up anyway and 2 showed up.

    Have 2 showing now, but not getting ANY channels (whereas I had been a few days ago!!), am going backwards with it!!

    Am just downloading the OpenPli image to try now, (as every time I try to redo the TvHeadend/Oscam setup I end up worse off than the time before).

    Planning on trying the 1.2gb one soon too!!

    Yes, if you scan without it being connected it would not pick up any channels.

    Are the 2 tuners showing in TvHeadend Configuration ?

    Add your reply here.None of my tuners are showing up...The tutorial im following has me to configure the tuners before scanning thats why im wondering if you actually need the cables connected to see the tv adapters listed?

    Already tried my own enigma image and took me 2 hours to get anything going. Scan brings in loads of unwanted channels and its a pain to sort them. Got lip sync issues and HD channels sputtered and froze. Gave up after a while as it was not really going how I liked.
    Might try this openpli as a last resort.

    I still haven't gotten around to doing my picons or even attempting them, my wetek is running pretty ok here thankfully except the odd crash and I just reboot the box, figured out the way to a successful and quick reboot is disconnect the usb drive(which I had read about before getting the wetek and was doing) but also to have the TV switched off or else disconnect the hdmi cable as well.
    It might have something to do with my sound set up even though the hdmi is direct to the TV.
    I love the series link on TVheadend, I dislike that kodi tends to freeze if I am recording two channels and try and watch another channel and it freezes in they don't share a transponder, I'm waiting on some more micro sd cards and then I've give some other peoples back ups a go. Glad I learnt how to to configure tvheadend myself first though.

    Use auto bouquet maker in service searching. It's scans channels into the sections for sd hd fta entertainment movies etc.

    Also for anyone struggling with the standard remote, there's enigma2 remote apps you can use.
