still no image this morning whats going on???
All I want for Christmas is HD SKINS lol
the last few releases, the majority of the changes have been 'under the hood' ones if you like, so while things may not look to have changed from the graphical interface that people see, things definatley have been worked on.
Last night i was asked if i had the choice, would i make this image (09/10/10) public, and i said no.
The reason i said this was that even though a lot of work and improvements have gone into the image, the functions that people moan about the most are still the things that need a bit of work on, and with people being people, they would moan 'whats the point in releasing an image thats the same as the last one' even though its not
images are still being created almost weekly, there was 2 last week, but untill theres enough 'extra' functionality compared to what the latest available image does, i feel that the end user will moan about whats still missing more than they will praise whats been sorted out, especially those who dont own one
End users have a right to moan and complain...theyve paid 250 quid for something, that until recently couldnt even do half the listed functions it claimed to...because TM wanted to cash in on world cup sales revenue...
Even still many of the features are flakey 5/6 months on...As for praising whats been sorted out ? Theres nothing to praise...these features should always have already been there when the box came to market...cant expect praise for implementing "standard" advertised features..or bugfixes...It's not like theyre doing customers/end users a favour or giving them benefit...by implementing standard advertised features..these are expected to work "out of the box". If anything TM should be praising customers for in effect bug testing/beta testing their lame product for them ! No-one cares if theres 50 images a day being created behind the scenes to customers they want the issues fixed and all advertised features to work...
Praise should go more to people on the forum, who have been creating the addons, finding workarounds to the bugs etc etc...

Dunno about you but i followed the tm800hd since it was announced.
And i was fully aware that the box was released with incomplete firmware.
I alos knew at the time of my purchase that the box was still not 100% as it was advertised on eurosky's website!
Been following the development of TM Linux recievers since the 500/600 were released was kinda hoping they'd be a viable alternatve to Dreams. having run DM500's in the past...in the end since there was no decent support, or choice of different images etc...Then I found out they were rebadged ITGate..which completely put me off having seen previous poor support and buggy images over on Satkinngs on ITGate cable recieverd.
I got a Dream 600 instead...and more recently went HD with a Dm800HD clone...dont get me wrong the DM800hd clone is nowhere perfect either i've got the usual HD glitch issues etc...but software wise images are fantastic..DreamElite in particulay...glad I didnt buy a TM linux product now ! Theyve made a poor showing so far in my opinion.
I'd rather go for a solomend/skybox/openbox for basic HD and stick to DM clones..or stretch to VU DUO if I need E2 images...
Wait so you don't actualy own a technomate receiver then?
