Actually TM800HD Price is NOT cheaper than many other boxes also as most TM800HD features are NOT working correctly I would say box is 50%...Much more choices are available for cheaper such as:
- Duolabs QBox Mini HD = Twin Tuner, Enigma 2, I have seen one in operation and PVR and all basic advertised fetures working well..unlike TM800 1 year later still basic funtions not working.. Why do you still keeping talking rubbish and telling lies 12 months later...Just admit TM made massive mistakes with a unknown cheap NXP chipset and rubbish ITGate/UR Team products...
- OpenBox S9/S10 less tharn 50% price of TM800...again all base features working well...OK is not Enigma 2 box and firmware is basic...but at least advertised fetures work correctly.
- BladeMedia BM7000S..again cheaper than TM800 and is getting good reviews, working 7 day EPG, PVR, Timeshift etc...
- DM800HD and DM500HD clones... again cheaper than TM800...and from what I have seen completely outperform TM800....much better software support and image quality, all PVR internal SATA, timeshift, streaming etc working fine...
If you fix ALL TM800HD broken features and drop price to 150 or less, then it will be a competitor in the market...otherwise...no chance... Only Pre-configured CS traders will buy this box because of UR TEAM "Trader friendly" locked images...
You talk a lot of Dream...fact is if TM are so good...why do they try to modify existing Dream software images and make them work on a rusbbish NXP chipset ? Is this not software "cloning"... If TM want to be adventorous develop your own software image ground up with...PROPER workinh hardware drivers to start with...
TM are doing nothing different from VU by using existing Dreambox code....just VU used Broadcom and hence compatible drivers and code...TM thought they can use a cheap unheard of NXP chipset and flopped spectaculalry !
