Is it possible to put video (hd even better) on a mem card and play it on this ?
So which bit of what I said is 'crap' then, I would be grateful if you told me (only in your opinion of course) which bit I said is untrue?
'Plug and play' refers to the fact that it came ready with latest firmware, I plugged it in, scanned and erm, played.
Mine came with the latest f. ware too, I did 4 or 5 scans before it finally decided to give me the option to save channel data, and I followed the instructions to the letter. Having to unplug everything else on the cable feed and connect the box primarily suggests a weak tuner in my book, never had to do that with Dreams, DBox2’s Starviews etc
You do not have to change settings, install an ftp client, buy a crossover cable, flash an improved image etc etc.
The info that comes with the box tells you the latest f. ware is installed
The fact that it still has a few glitches because it is only the second firmware update is accepted by most people who are able to appreciate its potential.
So why was it released onto the market with these glitches, are you honestly saying they didn’t know about them ? when peeps on here create new images for the Dreambox and DBox2 these kind of glitches are resolved in a couple of weeks or even days.
Are you telling me that the very first image for your current box is the one you are still using ? Of course not, and that is because you updated to improve.
Yes I am still using the 1st image that came with the box because it came with the latest on it, as you would expect. Did I say I had updated ? read my post again
And to say the box isn't plug n play because you don't like the remote is somewhat bizarre.
I didn’t say that either, again read the post, I said it was “tacky” and it is. I think your understanding of English is bizarre.
Its not perfect but its on its way.
They said that about the Replay box………and maybe the Titanic.
And going back to my first point it was a breeze to install, it was in fact, plug and play.
And going back to my 1st point it wasn’t, and it wasn’t in a lot of other peoples book, go on Techwatch and do some reading there.
Well mine has arrived and im slightly disappointed it dosnt look as good as the marketing piccys.
Yeap its a pnp to program just put the flash file on the root of the usb stick and switch on.
perform a ezsetup and thats all it needs.
mine found 300+ channels sorting will be a nightmare.
Picture quality 1080i not as good as the V+ on my Panny 46PZ81B but loads better than the old 4000 / 4010n boxes I had before.
It freezes on a ppv channel and you have to manually switch off the box at the rear and switch on, nothing major.
Is it worth the £180.00 inc postage..
If you have a V+ naa not really, wait for a few months.
If its your first HD box and you have the readys then yeah, itll be nice to have a hdd built in, and maybe twin tuners.
need to get a null modem to try the program to sort out the listings and favorites.
Yeh it finds many doubles for me too and sometimes tripples LOL, full scan seems to do a better job.
Can I ask does anyone else have trouble with 720p mode ? On mine it flickers really badly, it's really noticable if I look at the channel logo and if a channel has a small top and bottom border I can actually see the picture jumping up and down at the borders with the flicker, much worse than evenan old CRT
It's not a good situation for me since the 1080i mode on normal sd channels looks over exposed with channel logos looking blurry and the picture as awhole looking like it has a vaseline filter.
It's not my telly I wouldn't of thought since xbox360's and Ps3's put out a perfect solid picture in 720p mode on it.
My firmware is 22-1-09 which doesn't seem to be available on the net and was wondering if the 8-1-09 firmware might cure it. I'm dreading the hassle of sending it back and getting a full refund.
edit..cracker666, i think those channels are 'red button' broadcasts etc.
tried that STBM and sorted all my channels.
when I up them it wouldnt take.
Ill get a null modem from work 2morrow
Make sure to set 'auto sorting' to none for the edited list to work.
On different note, I was changing a splitter a while a go and I'm getting shocks off the cable coming from the ex7000, this means bad things I guess ??? does anyone have any advice ?
