whats the price on one of these then ?

no 1080p support, only 1080i, so you cant use media player to playback in full HD.
7 day EPG, listed a s a feature which is good..

165€ it is arround 140£ in *****

165€ it is arround 140£ in sat24store.

Intresting..in the same sort of price range as DM800HD clones then.

Who makes the software images or are they propietary ? Is CCAM 2.2.1 working in client and server mode on this reciever ?

PVR only by external USB ? No internal Hard disk support is that correct ?

 

[Mark_The_Yid]

why spunk £140 on these when you can have a dm800 clone for similar money?

If I was gonna take a punt at anything at the mo it would be the qbox HD mini. At least you stand to get an enigma 2 receiver with the potential of twin tuners and 7 day epg plugin.

This is latest firmware for this receiver. I comes with integrated Oscam and several other major cams Incl. Ccam), but the biggest news are IKS dongle. Clears lot of things from 30ºW till 39ºE
