Message from H. Condessa | OpenSAT Lda. CEO

In the past, AZBox was more turned to work with Linux, though with strategic partnerships that allowed us to have some products differentiated from our competitors.

Those solutions, however, were always developed under NDA and it did not allow us to open the SET TOP BOX code as much as we want.

Now the situation is different and we are endeavoring a lot of efforts to develop a more OPEN box and counting on the cooperation of the community. So, at ANGA Cable 2011 we will not only introduce a new range of STBs, but we will also present a new way to watch the development of our products and have real open source policies. Our objective is to develop together and grow with the community and not against it!

Furthermore, we will transfer this philosophy to our actual line models (AZBox Premium HD+, AZBox Elite HD, AZBox Ultra HD) and start from the beginning with those policies with AZBox Me and AZBox miniMe.

See you at ANGA!

Best Regards
H. Condessa

You're all reading what you want I think it's great news

Official firmware comes from CELRUN ( not OpenSAT! ) this was no choice but neccesary otherwise the receiver wasn't allowed to the market.

Now this agreement between CELRUN and Opensat seem to have ended and now Opensat can really go Open Source, this means ( I guess ) that official firmware as we know it will be left behind.
Now it will be Neutrino and Enigma2 firmwares for all models ( I aspect new releases after ANGA 3-4-5 may 2011 )
