Lol so it was me that got that clac wrong then

either way I'm sure it would work ok at 80k a second - or rather the point I was making is that by ...

Nibb,

Have you got your mbits and MB/s mixed up ? - you have 600kb/s so that would be approx 4.5 mbps

1 Mbps= 125.00 KB/s= 122.07 KiB/s= 450.00 MB/h= 7.50 MB/min= 1.00 Mbps

oE.

Well I could set the streaming to any value for any bandwidth avalible.

Nibb - what is your upstream speed - I don't mind setting it up to match yours and you can test the quality if you want.

I can stream HD fine - the secret here is not to just port forward your VU / Dreambox straight to the internet. The video stream from the sat receiver is RAW and massive in size.
What I do is stream my Dreambox to my PC and then use VLC to Transcode the video so it is compressed.

You find out the stream address by using the interface and then stream it using vlc.

Let me know how ...

Not sure so may need to encode with VLC or something.

so 1 vote VTi and 1 for Vix

Well I got my DM800 streaming fine around the house and to my ATV2 :-)

Is the Vix image for a VU+ any good ?

I have a dm800 and have been asked to set up a vu solo for a clueless friend - what image do you guys recommend for this - he wants to be able to stream it to his laptop when he is on the road.

I know how to setup the port forwarding etc - just why image has a good web gui etc ? ...

I got a DM500HD clone - will go have a play with crossepg - I only use it for euro stuff so not sure if I will get the EPG.

oE.

for that budget get a decent DM clone - ....

That's what I have done !

oE.

well for various reasons I have gone for a Dm500 HD.

Next question for fellow DM users is what images are you guys running

oE.

Ta for the info guys !

oE.

I assume that its a clone that has the problem with the tuner ?

oE.

Guys,

Currently got a spiderbox and an old SD dreambox here on a 110cm motor setup - looking to go HD and can't decide on either a dreambox or VU+

Anyone got a current opinion on what box and why - from what I can tell theres not much between the two.

Final ...

but it's half the price to do a laser swap on it and just as easy IMHO

Just to hijack my own thread back ;-) I can't seem to find any at that price.
