Introducing the Amiko Mini HD265

[Titanium]

Correct. Different shows often use a different mix. One channel adds descriptive audio track during primetime.

Including commercials too they do the same thing.

I stuck one of these Huran 8 GB USB flash drives into the USB on the Amiko and it works great. Think it's OK to leave it connected 24/7 or should I disconnect it when not in use so it doesn't overload the USB power?

 

[KE4EST]

You should be fine with one of those.

Is the Amiko able to receive the CBS national feeds on 97 and 89?

 

[KE4EST]

No this receiver does not do 4:2:2.

 

[Titanium]

Could stream the 4:2;2 channels from the Amiko to display :eal-time with a media player STB or a computer on your network.

How does this work? My Amiko is connected to my network via ethernet.

I don't believe the new box supports BIG2small.

I don't believe the new box supports BIG2small.

Does the Amiko do DLNA? I'm not at home to see if it shows up as a network-attached device on my PC's and Blu-ray players

That is too bad! Strange that as streaming becomes more mainstream that they would drop it from this build. Didn't use it much on the previous models, but when I needed it, it was worth the weight in gold!!!

 

[KE4EST]

I emailed them about it a bit ago, as I just discovered this also.
May not hear back though till Monday, as it is almost 6PM Friday evening there.

 

[Cham]

DLNA server would be cool!

What even is bigtosmall?

 

[Titanium]

An app that allows you to view live or DVR programming streaming from the receiver on an Android smartphone, tablet, set-top box, etc.

Sounds like DLNA.

 

[KE4EST]

Yes, it is their version of DLNA. I got an email back this morning, just have been busy today.
They said they are working on getting BIG2small coded for this chip-set. There is enough of a change they have to redo some things in the code.
So hopefully we will see its return on this box.

Sounds like it could be pushed out in a future firmware update then?

Hopefully it doesn't quit working at random like it does on the Mini HD RE.

I prefer the way the Freesats do it, making the channels available via DLNA, or the way the Amiko Aliens do it, making the channels available in a web interface. Much more platform-independent.

DLNA is awesome. Great standard.
