why is it in the wardrobe mate ?
take no notice of the moaners mate lol
they box runs, records, plays back perfect now
just media really thats left, maybe thats whats important to you ?
but when theres people who dont even have one, constantly slating the receiver for either its hardware, software support, or any other reason, in my opinion, that muddies the waters a lot more than disgruntled owners do
youve had your say, again and again and again, brought up the same points again and again, and if anything, its making DW look stupid for allowing the merry go round to start all over again.
this thread was originally meant for OWNERS to moan about what they wanted to see next, instead its turned into 17 pagesof crap removed from other threads, so, once the media player is functional, this entire thread will be removed, NOT deleted, and another one started
But this is where I get really pissed off. I am an owner and have been since June last year. I've had a Jtag box back which is noticably sluggish compared to old box no matter what image it runs, inlcuding latest official 2nd Feb, and followed Satwiz's instructions to the letter. This is before adding other mods like rytec and cooltv which are the same files I've always used and been fine before. The whole bollocks jumping through hoops to get Wifi working as well... I know about networks and I've been able to get connected to 54g wireless with many previous images just by selecting the right fooking options, but even with ridiculous instructions from TM it still drops signal and says no encryption after reboots with latest image so I've abandaned it completely and have to run cat5 up stairs again. I've tried a couple of factory resets on 2/2 and it's green screened. I tried yesterday to format USB stick in back port and it green screened.
When I post these things however, all we get is TM moaning about repeating, whilst repeating their own crap instructions they've been told haven't worked, and yes, the usual brigade of non/ex owners who have been aggrieved come on and have a moan and then everyone says, "oh same lot of non owners same old same old..." and then that's it.
VectorZ it seems you could have a problem with your box ? have you contacted Technomate via phone or email ?
explain to them your problem and that you have tried everything and you would like a replacement box

Best way use latest image with my advise if is not doing what you want contact tm.
Good linux reciever ? Might be your opinion...fair enough everyones entitled to one, doesnt mean that everyone else has to agree with it...Ermm,,,No actually I didnt say anyone who disagrees with my views is Pro-TM I said..theres Pro-TM propoganda pushed by possibe TM related parties and employees on the forum who have a vested interest...
Clearly not a view held by a lot of other people....put a time line together of events since the release of this box...and it's clear to see it's all one big badly mismanaged poorly thought out project... The reciever may yet turn out to be good...the point is...it's been made to look like one big joke..by the way it's been handled...
Not really sure why people think you should give TM a support..and wait for issues to be sorted...it's a buyers market...it's the manufacturers job to make sure a product is fit for purpose when it's released...or at least sort things out when they say they will...
Ermm...I have an agenda to discredit the box ?? Dont think so...simple matter of true or false...are any of the issues i've raised untrue ? If not..why are you crying about people knowing the facts ??
1. Originally announced to be released at 200 quid or less.
2. several months delay before release.
3. Price rise by 50 Quid...to 250 quid...wifi not included (extra 50 quid).
4. Finally released in time for worldcup 2010 ... cash cow sales time with 80% features not working...no wifi, no PVR, no Card reader...so basically only freeview...or Preconfigged traders and CS users can use the reciever..unless you spend another 40 quid on a USB reader...Wifi adpators delayed not available on release...Many people who signed up for the free wifi offer...didnt actually get their Wifi adaptors.. Overheating reported, recalls to fit internal case fans.
6. several months of poor software support, poor performance, green screens, etc etc..
7. Recall...of for JTAG Box CPU core drivers...so after all the abuse of DM's original warning...turns out he was right after all !
8. Even after JTAG....several problems still reported, hard drive detection...PVR unstable, HD recording, WiFi etc...
9. Coming upto a year since release...and 50 quid price cut...so early adopters/customer/purchasers have all been shafted...In effect been used as beta testers and charged for the privilege....

Admin should not allow this type of misleading post to carry on.

Not for you to decide.
If your not happy then report the posts.
We allow all views even negative ones, though the anti tm800 brigade seem a bit more rabid than most.
The day we don't allow both sides of a story will be my last day even if they are distorted, I see distorted positive posts and distorted negative posts unless they are out and out lies they will stay to give a balanced picture.
