Fuse

[catz]

Received a Fuse today and gotta say one sweet receiver. Sets up fast and the update came with 15.2 so the past problem with video and wrong size is taken care of.

Initial impression... nice package, comes with the a/v cable, which wasn't included with the TVonline+, and an HDMI cable. Uses the same remote. Different power supply than the TVonline+. On startup, did the automatic download of its firmware. After the initial setup, went right for Kodi... it gives you a choice of TVMC (version 1.0) or Kodi 15.2 . I'm not sure but its probably going to let you have both. Ran my local wizard, and got my addons there, and it looks pretty good, with the NFPS service. Couldn't test the exterior tuner as I don't have one. TVOnline is the same as the TVonline box, but at least this box doesn't default into it.

It does have led color ring that will be on as long as it's plugged it, unfortunately, they picked blue for off, not bright, but blue isn't nighttime friendly.

Maybe next version they will have proper front off/on led

lots of fta sats if you have the right dish and probably a linear lnb.
Not 100% sure though

Just got an email from Avov:

We are waiting for ATSC. We have DVB-S2 at the moment and can send you either or if you wish.

looks like it is a DVB S2 tuner so it will pick up any sat really, linear or circular. Won't find any free content thru Circular thou, you'd have to go with Linear.
Linear sats need different LNBs and usually larger dishes then Circular sats.
Not to be confused with Ku-band and C-band.
C-Band is all linear sats, while KuBand is both Linear and Circular.
AT lygnsat, you can tell which are linear sats by the polarization they use.
Linear would be Horizontal or Vertical while Circular would be Left or Right.
Cband have 4 digits in the TP frequency while KuBand have 5 digits in the TP frequencies (actually they are more digits but they only show 5 at lygnsat and on our receivers show 5 as well).

Motorized dish is best with linear sats as each sat may only have a couple worth while channels (as per preference), so in order to have a selection of some channels, it's nice to have access to all sats on the clarke belt
Hope the Fuse has motorized settings

[nada233]

so far its working excellent and same as other waiting for the dvb -S2 tuner.

For those who have a tuner, does it support mpg4 or the Dish turbo?

 

[K00lKatT]

DVBs2 is used by both Dish and Direct in up-linking but hasn't reached the consumer level yet, it may never reach it, who knows??

i have been playing abit with fuse here ,it seems very nice and more addons ,i see a fair amount of games with it also ,not into them myself but definitely a nice box.

 

[Marley]

so would you say a motorized dish is the way to go on the fuse dvb-s2 tuner never tried one

The Fuse has the DiSCqE 1.0 and 1.1 and 1.2 and 1.3 functions
With the 1.2 and 1.3 being the Motor Mode, so yes the FUSE has motor control
There are no Circular sats listed in the FUSE's Satellite List, but you can add sat of your own. Circular sats are all encrypted thou and the FUSE does not do IKS
The FUSE has most all other sats and they are Linear sats, Ku-Band and C-Bnad
The Satalite setup menus are well put together on first look.

I will get it connected to motor a little later and report how that works.

Just looking at the Kodi now and the Kodi installer just started.
