[kildin]

Found some info in German about Gbox from Duolab - in translated version :

Seems like the European manufacturer Duolab has launched QBox. This is a new Linux Multimedia set Top box. It's sayd that ; "For the first time all important Multimedia hardware components (WLAN, LAN, USB host/Client, HDD internally) is united with the proven Sat hardware components (Sharp Tuner, Diablo CAM - twin card reader).

It's also sayd that; "In the case of this equipment Linux may not naturally be missing as operating system ! Here the proven user surface comes from ENIGMA to the employment. Thanks to the IBM2500 250MHz processor with Kernel 2.6.17 all usual Plugins of the Dreambox 500/600 series is compatible. The QBox continues to captivate by their small building method (6 x 23 x 15cm) and the 12V connection, WLAN integrates + Ethernet LAN connection, Internal HDD 2.5 non removable disk connection Sharp BlindScan, DVB-S SAT Tuner DVB-T Tuner inserted !"

Many thanks for the link m8, I had already tried that site after a google search but like anywhere else "none in stock" If you hear of anywhere:confused8 else I would be grateful..................Regards N.

In that case you could always try the obvious, and email Duolabs, and ask them which of their suppliers, may have stock of the QBOX.

Already tried that but as ever Duolabs dont answer e-mails,they will not discuss its existence due to its capabilities, I am beginning to wonder if all is well with this box? It should have been released every week for the last 2 months:confused8.............Regards N.

I have sourced 2 suppliers one in Italy and one in Germany, however now that they are finally being released I shall wait for a UK supplier.........Regards N.

[proteus]

Well m8s, I found a UK supplier and bought one! It is my master at the moment, however a role reversal is imminent:ilikeit2...........Regards N.

That can be expected with a newly released receiver, I have not as yet, come across one receiver that functions perfect on it's original firmware.
I don't know if you remember when the Dreambox made it's first appearence, there was nothing but complaints about the lack of working functions, but like everything else, it improves with age. :good:

[proteus]

Yes, my views as well and given its makers I think it will one day be a superlative bit of kit, if I can master it:good:..........Regards N.

[proteus]

Is it worth me posting the relevant Qbox files here?..........Regards N.
