Ye, I'd reckon it needs samba,Yes they are plugins that need to be running as its a poor box.
You should not need scanning on a box with tuners disabled as with correct ip of box imputed into h2 should see your bouquets and epg to use.
You will need a small usb stick for swapfile setup
@steptoe not sure what static ips might do and wonder if Samba needs to be running also.
Under devices it shows the tuners and HDD but says no network servers@Avanti can you see your main box under network drives ?
Sorted, I think starting samba on both did it but I enabled a password on also. Thanks everyone for your help !Under devices it shows the tuners and HDD but says no network servers
