No 6.8 for quadplus... Anyone know how to self-build?

End of life!

Has anyone here self-built?

New hardware recommendations?

I use a quad monoblock for 13E+19E with 4 outputs like

Quad Monoblock 23mm LNB 6° for 80cm dish with 40mm adaptor 13°E (SAT A) + 19.2°E (SAT B)

Quad Monoblock 23mm LNB 6° for 80cm dish with 40mm adaptor 13°E (SAT A) + 19.2°E (SAT B)

in addition to two dvb-t2 mediatv pro iii sundteks:

Tuner A BCM7346 DVB-S2 NIM (internal) (DVB-S2)
Tuner B BCM7346 DVB-S2 NIM (internal) (DVB-S2)
Tuner C GIGA DVB-S2 NIM (SP2246T) (DVB-S2)
Tuner D GIGA DVB-S2 NIM (SP2246T) (DVB-S2)
Tuner E Sundtek DVB-T2 (III) (1/0) (USB) (Combined DVB-C/T2)
Tuner F Sundtek DVB-T2 (III) (2/0) (USB) (Combined DVB-C/T2)

I record a lot mostly freeview, zdf_neo, arte.
I don't iptv for the obvious reason, also I find sat 1080 is better image quality - and I have a fire cube, for iplayer, prime, disney and apple tv anyway.

Can I reuse the two SP2246s and the monoblock, or should I upgrade the lnb to a full band FBC type? Can any do dual satellites?

Thanks

Hmm:
7 - Add your git user and email

I need to register at github just to download source and run 'make'? :-(

GitHub page "Clone" is still 5.3, it should be 5.6

you probably don't just to local build, but Github does like to know who you are.... as noted above page has been updated for Git versions

You only need user/pass/certificate if using git@github. If you use http protocol when cloning you don't need pass.

Did you manage to do a self build for the gigablue? If so, how did it go?

All you need to do is follow the instructions on the enigma repo. It is not difficult.

I tried the instructions on https://github.com/OpenViX/enigma2/blob/Developer/README.md , followed to the letter, only in this point MACHINE=vuultimvo4k DISTRO=openvix DISTRO_TYPE=release make image, changed vuultimo4k to gigablue, and it was invalid. What would be the right MACHINE?

Gigablue HD Quad Plus still works greatly.

Hmmm....
If you're building on Ubuntu 26.04 then look at:

https://world-of-satellite.com/threads/build-my-own-vix-image.61295/page-48#post-550765

which includes a fix for the m4 build (which might also affect the others).

I have updated the README for Ubuntu 26.04 as your changes don't fix for me even on new clean build.

If Birdman's changes don't work for you then clone OE-A 6.0 and try build from there.

What README?
And what problem(s) do you have?

(Just to be clear, the fixes are for building OE5.6. OE6.0 is OK without them.)

E2 README.
Yes OEA 6.0 builds fine on 26.04
On 5.6 with your fixes everything runs until root is built and there it fails with issues util- linux-flock

Finally got build through. Reckon /home/openvixbuilder/openvix/build-enviroment/builds/openvix/release/gb7356/tmp/deploy/images/gb7356 is where the files are.

Perhaps a stupid question, but how flash? The old method, attach an usb-stick, press ok, power up did not work.
