Problem is the twin is potentially a bigger flop than the TM800, the few beta testers I know have said the twin is another load of shit !

its still on an old beta image atm, but i do find your comment quite intresting as i talk to many of the testers on a daily basis

yes i think this is old information

 

[ellie1998]

Sorry I misunderstood what you put.
I would give my box to anyone who pays postage fees.

 

[Rat]

Based on the fact that it is a Broadcom chipset, there is a good chance other teams will what to get creative with the twin.

on what will it be based ? I think Ive mentioned this or asked before
my understanding is it will only be open Vix ? so what differences will there be from a Vix release or buying a VU ?

will the coder be able to create an image from open PLi ? or Open Vix ONLY ?

If you speak to them on a daily basis I would guess you would know about the problems with the box so far, unless of course the people you are speaking to feel pressured into keping quiet or have even been bribed for their silence somehow ?

 

[rickie_20]

I dont have that information Rat

but from what I understand the full source will be made public so you can do what you want with it.

stupid question, considering manic01 leaked some of the betas usernames - as mine was one of them, I know exacty whats going on

However aslong as the image is the non-public release version I am not prepared to comment

The question was rhetorical so hardly stupid

Another one to add to the list of bought off disgruntled TM800 owners then ? (another rhetorical question)

Np rickie thanks for clearing it up


Sent from my iPhone

 

[Rat]

you seem to be the one in contact with TM, could you ask if/when the source is released, what will actually be released ? Open Vix or Open PLi

will it be full source code or will it be limited like it was before

genuine questions mate so we can see what is maybe future buyers can be looking at



Thanks

A few things he missunderstud but thats what he said, now do i take the 150 towards the new box as i only paid 139. I like the box funny enough and would like to see them hold there promise on starting on the image etc at the beginning of march, does anyone else belive this? I totaly do not know what to do or what to belive. What do you guys reckon.
£150 off the new box sounds good but i cant just pull the other £179 out of a hat.

will they never learn? Ill bet my left nut on it that its not released as a finished product tomorrow, in fact, id bet a million quid that i dont have on it

personally, for how i watch telly, i can use it IDENTICALLY to how i use my Vu+ duo, with no problems

 

[Rat]

so if this goes on sale tomorrow I take it the testers must have tested and approved the final image ?

or are they rushing the release because of the OP offer ? and the image is still not finished ?

edit
this is not a bitching post, but a question potential buyers have a right to know

 

[VectorZ]

Ill bet my left nut on it that its not released as a finished product tomorrow

I'll bet both of mine it won't be finished - but if by some freak miracle it's all shiny and perfect, you'll have to retrieve my left one from the barbed wire on top of the fence at the bottom of the garden.

LOL thats my concern! If a decent team gets behind it then it might be worth a try but iv not heard anything to make me want one, yet.
