TBH i think theres more chance of sky giving away the source code for their receivers than TM giving it up, which is a shame

I bought from them once and was taken a back but the constant updates and offers as a result of the Tm being postponed.
Just wish more places were so customer friendly.
Once my kitchen is out the way the TM will be in my shopping trolley

You could fit your reciever in the toilet never mind a kitchen mate, no need to remove the kitchen.

yes I do
I just wonder how people can comment/have an opinion on something they dont have
I think if tm don't release the source code you will have a long wait for all the features as they don't seem to be in a rush to support there loyal customers!
The 'offer' is only being offered to those that pre-ordered or bought within days of release, that means that these boxes may have been slightly different from the boxes that most of you have, for example maybe the first 500 pre-release boxes are Hardware Revision 1 and maybe the rest are Revision 1.1?
We (pre-order/early buyers) aren't getting anything free or special, the way I see it is we are getting machines that are the same as the rest.
Obviously this is a pack of lies to cover up the real truth.
You say "We" but i dought you bought your receiver much sooner than myself; i bought my TM800 on the 2nd of June when the official technomate website announces release on the 7th June so thats before the official release (correct me if im wrong).
Secondly, i the day after i got my receiver i recognised the extreme heat i was getting from my tm800 and to avoid damage etc etc i have had an external usb cooler underneath it ever since. i too have experienced plenty of crashed some with a green screen for just watching the box.
so when one retailer gets something out of the manufacturer because they are surely not paying for the new top cover themselves it only seems fair that the people who paid the SAME price from someone else should be entitled to it.
This is especially when this is not like a free usb which is pure kindness but assuming this is an improved top cover for the tm800 with fan or maybe more holes which is HARDWARE OF THE BOX it is only just that the manufacturer provides these for all affected.
For example, when toyota recalled cars they did not just recall from those that bought from toyota dealer, they recalled everyone affected.
I am sorry if i sound one sides but that's what alot of us feel like, we paid alot of money and are fine with beta testing the tm800 but when a fault is recognised and to be kept in the dark about the recall fix it feels like we are being robbed.

Looks like the box of the future, can somebody remind again where is the best place to get it from?
Si
the day i bought my DM800, for £400, i also noticed the heat, bought a small usb fan, and over 2 years later, its still sweet as a nut
if you feel that there is a fault with your equipment, then get onto your supplier to get it repaired / replaced / rectified, this then gives the retailer the option of replacing the unit, or getting the manufacturers involved
I didn't say they were paying for it, but part of this situation does come at a cost to Eurosky... you'd know about this if you were a customer of theirs and bought one instead of posting speculation and worthless contributions.
It's as simple as that, a closed deal between Eurosky, their customers and TM.
There is no hardware recall, if it were that serious then TM would be obliged to inform everyone and replace/refund. If you seriously think it's that kind of problem then go through the motions, contact your suppliers and ask if they'll get involved, or god forbid, give Technomate a call yourselves and share your concerns so they can replace it for you like they have for others who can actually be bothered to do something about it rather than being a keyboard warrior

So have you contacted your supplier and told him this?
No point in moaning at me just because my supplier seems to care more about his customers than your supplier.
I suggest you contact whoever you got it from and tell them of your gripes.
BTW, tomorrow is the big day.
I might take some pictures.
