Edision OS Mini Review (North America)

It looks we have interest in the Edision OS Mini so I created a section for it rather than other FTA boxes.

So here we are..:D
 
I am now testing the dual DBV-S2 tuner version of the Os Mini. Tuner B in this receiver is 16APSK capable. It also blindscans symbol rates below 2000 which tuner A is not currently capable of.

Here is a blindscan of 125W Ku using the Montage tuner.
 
I have to say that I am impressed with the Os Mini. I did dabble with the Hypercube, Raptor and GM Triplex and got fed up pretty quick with the constant green screens and crashes with any image.
What a treat it is to have a real made for Enigma 2 box, makes all the difference in the world to have a stable and powerful little box that runs fast with no lag.

The blindscan as noted is not super fast but probably much faster than an azbox or other non e2 boxes..it's probably inline with a raptor, so if your expecting 2 minute scans it won't happen.
I don't do much feed hunting anymore so this is not a problem for me at all.

The remote is nice and sturdy and reminds me of the CNX brand remotes..not cheapo at all.

Eb put me on to the SatDreamGr images and they really support this box, experimental images are stable! I also have a terrestrial ATSC tuner and it works perfect, apparently it was not working at first, but by the time I got mine it was good to go..I also like that they have the online updates that you can download and install hassle free with no loss of settings.

I'm happy with the OS Mini and still have to learn more as always.
 
To clarify, In the Enigma2 Operating System:
Standard LNB = Universal LNB with 9750/10600 L.O.'s
Circular LNB has a 10750 L.O.

In North America:
We think of a Standard LNB as having a 10750 L.O.
We think of a Circular LNB as having a 11250 L.O.
 
I have been using SatDreamGr image on my OS Mini Dual since i got it the time and date has got of real bad cannot find a place to set it anybody know?
 
Got my OS mini over the weekend and hooked up. 2nd tuner does do 16apsk and is the more sensitive of the two. tried several images and went with OPENpli because it was the only one as of now that supported the wintv hvr 850 ATSC. The others recognized it but would not work atsc side only dvb-c side. got it all installed and seems to be working great. Very fast and responsive. Have many recordings scheduled so I will see how it does this week and get back to you. Impressed so far. Thanks for all of the reviews..know I can trust them.
Depending on how that does I may order a couple more.

Did find one issue with original tuner..seems to have fec conflict and had to set almost all of my dvb s2 to 1/2 or it would not see them. Loaded my same channel list with dreambox edit that I have on my azboxes, raptor, and anaconda's. No issue with 2nd tuner and those same ones. it was across all images. Still have some to do with that one. Will keep informed.
 
You may want to wait just a little bit before buying another because the OS Mega 4K should be released, probably within a month.

I have other boxes that have problems like you describe with tuner 1. Sometimes I have had to set the DVB-S2 to DVB-S before the transponder is seen or change the FEC like you did. The second tuner is more of a fta tuner, and seems to work well for us.

OpenPLi has a duplicate transponder check, and this routine is set sort of high for some transponders or satellites. I will see about posting a fix for that.

Now you can check your TBS products. Load SatDreamGr Experimental image, then download the TBS drivers and see what you get! Only One usb tuner is supported, so you cannot use ATSC and TBS at the same time. Both tuners can be set up and used but you will have to turn the box off and physically change tuners.
