gone back to dreambox 7000

[eme]

tried the 9100 over the last week or so and it still crashing on harddrive, and losing sats. will wait till new image comes out, pity. :):frown:

[peggle]

There is still some way to go to get this box somewhere near perfect.

I bought mine to supplement my Skystar 2 card, not to replace it. They both have their uses.

Having said that I'm pleasantly supprised by its capabilites considering the price.

Not really sure why anyone with a Dream would want this to replace it?

Had been waiting for the Dream 8000, but that keeps getting put back.

Exactly my thought too...

i got it because the dream box power supply is crap and i have to have a separate hard drive caddy with power supply to run the hard drive without problems. The technomate also has a much better tuner, and some other good points.
Have to say the firmware problem is something the dream box went through so i am not worried, it seems a good buy.:):)

I have had a hard drive in my 7000 from the day i got it home, hung a capacitor across the supply connector to aid the spin up never had a problem since day one.

yep got the power supply update and still not much good, but i do love the dreambox.:)

Have the same problems as eme with Technomate, and was also hoping it would replace the Dreambox.

Now have to decide which one to get rid of.

[eme]

me thinks the techno will be a good reciver, so i am sticking with both plus innovative and see what happens, seen on den that there is a juliat image 06 so i may try that in morning. :)

[zad]

there is a juliet 06 posted here mate!
i think most people are using that as its the most stable image thats not a beta

[A]

that juliet is crap too
ur08 beta 5 is okay

[zad]

think there is a beta 6 due out next week with a few bug fixes and manual tar.gz support

[eme]
