How was it changed? Replacing memory, processor and oversensitive capacitors or modchip for fast as 98.9% offered on Allegro nBoxów?

Give yourself nBox. It's a pity.

simhak · Answer

What do these nBoxes do for you?
nBox is perfect for watching satellite TV, provided it only serves to watch this TV.
It is known, its parameters can not compete with the equipment currently available on store shelves, but correctly configured, without unnecessary bells and whistles, it works stably - for example, for a few years already.
The "Yiddish" decoder is "bad" to this decoder, which the popular "Ferdek" 3018 has stopped receiving anything and switched to it because it was (and is) cheap to buy.
Then every plugin encountered in the network loads to it, the space for the system and zonk ends.

To the author: if you are looking for equipment to watch it will be good. However, if you are a so-called seeker and expect to transfer channels with the speed of a machine gun, the basics of Linux are unfamiliar to you, look further and not in the Enigma family.

And this E2 is not something normal. You activate and operate the normal tuner. You do everything from the remote control. In E2 it's like in a computer - please wait, start up. For E2 you must have programs that are just doing something and the remote control is ON / OFF.

The tuner is supposed to be for watching sat channels, not for chatter because I realize that the processor is weak and there is not enough memory and we will not jump over it. As for the speed of channel switching, it takes 2-3 seconds. I remember how once those from the digital polysat were loaded before the channel displayed the squares of operation progress But if such a nBox if it has a loaded system and a list of channels, is not it enough for normal operation? Sorry for the questions, but I'm just starting in this section. I found not everything I was looking for on the net.

Think: a few years ago there were no modchips yet. Decoder with low soft, only one cable is sold.

pawcio1979 · Answer

In which case, which versions of the software are generally recommended and which ones to run from? Possibly maybe here on the forum is someone who sells proven equipment?

simhak · Answer

The software version of the software (N) has, in fact, was important in the choice of the decoder rewrite (BSKA, BSLA).
She had it because it's been different now.
Now the leader is the modchip among decoders, in which the exchange of the processor and memory was too expensive (BXZB, BXZB).

I think my friend, I think that's why I mentioned to the author of the story that he would forgive me because 98% of nBoxes today are unfortunately modchips and 60% of offered in the sale offer is made for quick trade. You know, you can solder some pins, everyone can. Nbox 250GB in RTV recently cost PLN 160, wholesale chip PLN 38, client decoder for PLN 300-350. Let them earn, but for this money, however, memory and proc should be changed. I already advertise the third CD (made on a modchip). Purchased in three different places on Allegro. The snag is just that there are probably only three so you see how it is. I gave 350 zlotys + package for nbox. First complaint 30 PLN, second complaint 30 PLN, third complaint 30 PLN. 350 + 30 + 30 + 30 + 30 = PLN 470 = VuSolo. I have BZZB on the chip. Twice the decoder hung on the Enigma2 inscription and that's it. The third time it worked properly only and only until you pressed indifferently on the remote.

It's actually lime ... Either you bring bad things to yourself or are really done quickly. So, can he go to the Koreans? For 420 zlotys on aledrogko there are VU + zero with everything that is needed, even a list of channels.

simhak · Answer

Look for a second hand BSKA or BSLA, give it to work (30-50). For max 100 you have a decoder without modchip, a sata connector to the disk. The VFD display or black housing is an optional extra ...

pawcio1979 · Answer

Who will make me a tuner for PLN 50? Used BSKA PLN 110 + processing + parts + disk and probably without warranty. I now see BSB SPLITTER ENIGMA2 NC + TNK 250GB SHARING at auction for PLN 229. Includes tuner and other lumber for it, disk, changed display on VFD, ModChip V.3 with jumper, 11 pcs of capacitors, 12 months warranty. In that case, it pays to search and process without a guarantee or simply something ready to take?
