found this elsewhere looks really interesting i especially like the stream delay feature that would allow you to listen to radio commentary in english while watching the match on a foreign channel atleast i think thats what it means.

A new STB from Duolabs is coming: QBOX
The QBOX is going to bite the Sat scene....It's almost ready. In Duolabs new factory (at Bassano del Grappa, Italy) Dario Tolio (Duolabs Chief Engineer) so introduces the new STB:

"QBOX is the name of the Set Top Box and it's really something new. It is a Linux based decoder powered from the chip Ibm 2500 250 Mhz kernel 2.6.17 - external alimentation 12 volt and with size of 6 x 23 x 15 cm. (it's really very small). The box own a lot of extra features if compared to the main competitors like DB 500-600 Ipbox or other Linux based STB:

1) wireless integrated
2) internal HD 2,5
3) Sharp tuner blind scan
4) twin tuner dtt dvb
5) Diablo inside (compatible to the Diablo emulator support) so you don't need anymore to update the VAR-Key with a Ftp program...you will be able to update the Diablo emulator with a specific file from Stealth Team using USB-Wireless or Ethernet
6) Enigma OSD: it means that you'll have all the stuff you have actually in a Dreambox or another Enigmabox (g.box, cccam, etc.). But in this box you'll have more than the gbox emulator or other. In fact you'll have also a Diablo emulator upgradable using USB pen, serial or Ethernet without using a FTP program. This option can to be usefull in order to use the box without any ADSL connection, using the Stealth Team support
7) recording with an external USB disk
8 ) 3 USB ( one in front panel for fast connection to media USB, one on the back panel for external HD , and a mini USB for connection with a PC) and 2 card readers
9) Ethernet
10) streaming delayer
11) 2 scart (one can be used like component) and 1 RCA
12) safe boot memory (you can't damage the bootloader)

The box will be on the market next January for a price around 250 Euro.
In Duolabs projects there is also a DVB S-2 STB (QBOX HD)...but it will be ready for March or April of next year. Also this project own several exclusives extra features...but it is too early to talk about that".
