Sweeney 316 Posted August 4, 2016 Author Report Share Posted August 4, 2016 I've got an openbox v8s but I just got my mates one a month back and Friday night they stopped working. Just says scrambled. Was wondering where you get the proper lines for them ? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

DogFox123 1,379 Posted August 4, 2016 Report Share Posted August 4, 2016 If you need a reliable box to watch live TV then your android boxes and firesticks just don't cut it I'm afraid... 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Just says scrambled. Was wondering where you get the proper lines for them ?I can get you a line, try it for 24 hours if you happy I can get £6 for 30 days£14 for 90 days £22 for 180 days £35 for 365 days. If it says scrambled then the line is gone down probably, the lines I get are pretty good not had a problem and I've had mine for 3 years. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
johnny boy68 11,726 Posted August 4, 2016 Report Share Posted August 4, 2016 Z Gemma h2s are good twin tuner boxes for around £, stick a hard drive for your recordings and it'll do the same as a sly box. I can even put a sly skin on so guide is exactly the same. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Joe1888 672 Posted August 4, 2016 Report Share Posted August 4, 2016 a mate has open box, swears by it Quote Link to post Share on other sites
johnny boy68 11,726 Posted August 4, 2016 Report Share Posted August 4, 2016 The z Gemma h2s as iptv player and kodi on, plus it's a twin tuner like a sky box so you can record and watch another channel. The open boxes are great as far as single tuners go, I've got them in the kids rooms. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I can even put a sly skin on so guide is exactly the same. That what we have with the hard drive. To be honest apart from freezing now and again on certain channels can't fault it. For what we were paying sly it has paid for it's self in 6 months. Can even get the ppv for nowt. TC Quote Link to post Share on other sites

TC There's a new build out for the h2s now, with a better series link program on it and it puts all your series into folders too. It's almost like a sly box now. If you have cable with vermin you can still get all the hd channels as they can't geo-lock the cable signal like they can through a dish. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
