ive been playing with a TM-Mini, and, i like it [IMG]
Not much bigger than an iPod, and less than an inch thick, this is one of those receivers that gets thrown behind the telly, or stuck to the back of it using a sticky pad.
the whole box that it all come in, is tiny, its the same size as a Wii console, and this contains everything. the box contins the receiver itself (which is minute) a power supply, a short HDMI lead (gold plated), an AV lead, a basic instruction pamphlet, and, this is one of the things i thought was brill, 2, yes TWO remote controls. one 'normal' remote, with all the menu and coloured buttons etc, but, what i likes best, was a little 'stubby' remote, for all the basic functions.
im mega impressed with this box, and ive not even plugged it in yet [IMG]
plug it all in, and go through the setup process, which quickly gets boring, so i download a patch for it, and start again, i then setup a fixed dish connection, and set it scanning. there is a blind scan option, but i ignore that for now. astra2 is fully scanned in 4 mins and 4 seconds, i have a quick play with youtube and some of the other features, then i enter the details to access my own personal test card server, and it clears straight away
for a first impression, this receiver has peaked my interest, especially as it says on the packaging that it plays media files, so this makes me think it may access network storage and become a media client as well, and with up to 1080p output
And for less than £70
after having a bit more of a play, im getting to like this little box even more
it has blind scan
it has softcam capabilities
it holds 198 BISS keys
it plays a shed load of video formats
it plays music
it shows pictures
it will hold 40 different server lines
it can use WiFi USB dongles
it can use 3G USB dongles
it can be hidden behind the telly, as it also comes with a magic eye
