Hey folks, I've finally got fed up paying hand over fist for my TV sub with murdoch & co, and after having ran out of "offers" from them to stay, and the price hikes, I've started to look at other solutions. Googling brought me here, and I've some Questions i would like answered if possible, whether by a reg in post reply or a PM i don't mind.
I need to set up 2 boxes, one in my sitting room, and one in my bedroom, i have narrowed it down to a ZGemma H2S as it seems to be the newest dual channel open source box available at the moment. But before i pull the trigger and pony up my cash, i want to know if i buy 2 boxes can i install one "gift" for both boxes, or do i need to buy 2 separate "gifts" one for each box. i also need to make sure the sitting room box is wit-fi enabled as the router is in the bedroom where i keep my gaming rig, and hackintosh. and i don't want to mess about with power line adaptors etc. Is there any way to add a hard drive to these boxes, either externally, via my home network, or as a last resort a large capacity flash drive. can you time shift, series link, and download from the likes of on demand stuff? information seems somewhat scattered regarding this type of thing.
I have a 4 line LMB fitted to my dish, and plan on using a VPN to cover my arse if possible. will a cline work ok with a VPN? and if it is not against forum rules, can anyone pm details of a decent cline provider that don't disappear after a couple of months. and that don't cause the box to lock up, freeze etc. i need it to be as reliable as it can be considering the circumstances. I would like the full UK package if possible (Sports, Cinema, Box Sets if possible?)
Please forgive my ignorance of this topic, I'm used to messing about with linux/unix, and getting things to work that aint meant to.. like hackintoshing bleeding edge hardware. so am a quick learner. But i need to make this as foolproof as possible as the living room box will be used by a technophobic pensioner. so less fiddling it needs after i set it up the better.
I hope someone can keep me pointed in the right direction regarding this. Thanks in Advance.
