Hi,

Do you plan release for a new GiGaBlue UHD Quad 4K PRO?

Thanks

[WanWizard]

It is being worked on, but there isn't a lot of support  ( = nothing at all ) from Gigablue.

 

So if it comes, it will probably for OpenPLi 10.

[Robinson]

And which manufacturers provide support for OpenPLi team?

[WanWizard]

All that are still releasing new hardware. Apart from Gigablue, who has promised support, but appearently have difficulty finding a competent driver developer.

[Robinson]

Looking at your DOWNLOADS site, it seems only these: 

AB-COM
Edision
Gigablue
Maxytec
Mutant
Octagon
Uclan
Zgemma

Seems that are the brands that provide support nowdays...

That seems pretty corrrect.

 

Edision will be removed soon, they have stopped with STB's all together, and I expect AB-COM to follow.

 

And who knows about the others: currently, any new hardware released is based on either old warehouse stock (like the Gigablue) or on refurbished chipsets (like the last series of HiSilicon). 

 

Only AMLogic is still making SoC's, but making a decent box with it, with Enigma support, hasn't been easy sofar.

[mimisiku]

True! Only the Dreambox One and Two but we all know what happened to Dream Property GmbH..

[WanWizard]

There were more, like for example the VVetek Play.

 

I understand progress is being made, but we'll have to wait and see. Don't expect much, AMLogic doesn't make SoC's with lots of demuxes, so a low-end dual-tuner box will be the max I think.

And only DVB-S2. I have not seen a DVB-C/T tuner on these boxes (or I have missen them). Certainly no FBC variants

Two built-in DVB-S2 FBC (full band capture) tuners allow an independent twin use. 

One additional tuner slot offers the possibility to expand your device with optional extra DVBC-T/T2 tuners.

I bought a dm900 with fbc tuner. Worst idea ever, Its not even possible to record more than One channel
At a time. Also because of my provider (Tele2/com hem Sweden
) but also NO ONE knowS about cablebox. Dvb-c, nobody know
How to do it.

mimisiku means there are no fbc variant for boxes with amlogic SoC.
There it is pointless since that SoCs offer no more than 2-4 demuxers i think.

[WanWizard]

Correct. The currently used AMLogic SoC has 3 demuxers.

So do Gigablue UHD boxes have FBC tuners?

[DimitarCC]

Yes they do.

[Joerg1909]

Looking at the download page is also no guarantee because you can see it on Octagon.

There is no image for the sf4008. There you can see what kind of support the manufacturer provides

 

Although the sf4008 is almost identical to the HD51.

Very very sad the whole thing. 
I love OpenPli

Octagon never asked us to build an image for the SF4008, so it isn't there.

 

Which is not related to this topic, Gigabluie DID ask us to build an image for the Quad 4K PRO, but hasn't been able to produce a working BSP as of yet.

 

We're trying to do some parallel work based on what TeamBlue has done, but their BSP is not compatible and not complete.
