AZBOX ME - when are they out?

[ManikM]

its all very vague about this model.

anyone have any insight?

[xanadu]

I think it's due in August 2011.

[radodroma]

I hope it won't be the same story as with azbox premium..It was shown on anga, then the rumor was that it would be available late june-early july but it finally came out late october or november with ****e software....

[ManikM]

i imagine it will be later than august, as there is just NO info on it yet really, no one saying they will stock it or anything

I think most would see it as a risk to sell them after all the problems of the previous Azbox.

Though I'm not disappointed with my Azbox Ultra for what I use it for (scanning for feeds and 4:2:2), the Premium I had, the FW was clunky with CS and clearing CS channels was slow. Not to mention I couldn't use both tuners (DVBS2 and DVBT) at the same time. Picture has been one of the best I've seen on both boxes. Due to FW I probably wouldnt buy another Azbox. I'm now a convert to the Fortis range of receivers. If only they displayed 4:2:2 pictures.

230€ to 260€ ?!
that's too expensive!!
should be no more than 200€
and mini 130€

I've got a couple of Octagons, 1008 and 1028 with satellite and terrestrial tuners.

[ManikM]

i dont think the ME has WIFI, can anyone confirm one way or the other?

[Blagi]

With Linux/Neutrino it is likely the drivers will be available... ;)

But I wouldn't mess with Open****e again!
