good luck with gigablue quad... it is still running kernel 2.6


Yes, I know, but I see no issues whatsoever. At least not visible ones ;)

The box is superfast! It boots in like 5 seconds - ie. when I have a crash screen which says smth like 'sorry the box will restart in 10 seconds', actually it shows the splash boot screen right after the crash screen fades out. Zaping is super fast. It has HD PIP. In my box I have 3 tuners - right now I am recording 3 different HD channels (one each tuner) and watching another HD recording without making a hiccup... :D

Anyways, GB Team seems that in a couple of weeks they will be releasing the new drivers. ;)

I mean the box has really nice specs, that's super cool...
I am just concerned about the future support, drivers and cooperation with dev teams, response to bugreports, and so on.
We were all happy with VuDuo in the beginning and we all know what happened later :(

Hm, this happens with every product - it is simply their life cycle man. Obviously Vu+ company is pushing new products, putting more emphasizes toward the new kids on the block and give less and less support to the 'old' or mature ones. We like or not - this happens in all industries, not just STB's. ;)

In other words, GB Quad will have the focus of its dev team in the next months or so.
You can see yourself in their support page they have quite often released new drivers.
I am told that the support was very good a timely for other boxes in the past, produced by GigaBlue team.

To keep it short; GB Quad is maybe the best future-proof STB atm.

well, we could discuss whether ultimo is an 'old' model ;)
I just hope GB is not yet another Marusys-like company, employing only one developer ;)

anyway, enjoy your new box! wish you all the best :)

You have other images which are based on OpenPLI (Vix, AAF) and thats OK. They are not OpenPLi, but better than nothing!

<span style='font-family: comic sans ms,cursive'>"Enlightenment is man's emergence from his self-incurred immaturity. Immaturity is the inability to use one's own understanding without the guidance of another. This immaturity is self-incurred if its cause is not lack of understanding, but lack of resolution and courage to use it without the guidance of another. The motto of enlightenment is therefore: Sapere aude!
