Is there any chance of an OFFICIAL conversion of the PLI-Jade for this receiver ?
I'm using PLI on my dreambox and would be great to be abble to use it also on my new CT 550pvr.

Thanks to all.....

Never say never is a known verb overhere.
But at the moment there are no plans of that kind.

Technically is seems possible, the box has an IBM "Vulcan" STBx25xx chip, and fully compliant linux DVB API drivers.

Unfortunately we don't have the hardware, nor the development resources, to start supporting every box that meets these basic requirements. Our source is available to anyone via OpenPLi, we invite other developers to take up this challenge...

600 looks like a good guess.

You would have to do something with addressing the display (looks like it is used for the channel number?), I don't know if the API for that is known. It already runs E1, so it's certainly possible.
