Let me be the voice of reason
I really do not think it seems very interesting. The Lyngsat company has said that they aim this product towards enthusiasts...yet there is not much enthusiastic stuff in it;
-the Linux is NOT open source as far as I know, source codes will NOT be fully available!
-the recordings have their OWN format which can only be played on the Lyngbox.
-No streaming.
-No divX etc playback.
-They decided to NOT pay licence for 4:2:2 so that is not possible to decode.
-No blindscan.
-No multi cardreaders.
-CI shack in BACK of receiver...and it may not support all possible cams since many emu cams do not follow strict standards...and do not expect Lyngsat to offer support for illegal cams.
-No advanced signal meters as far as I know.
-No advanced DVB info...but a little more then other HDTV receivers already out.
-No IPTV
-No built-in Wi-Fi support
etc etc etc...doesn´t seem very impressive to me...in fact, they have recieved a lot of criticism for their almost total lack of enthusiastic features.
I sure as hell would not pay 650.00 euro for that!
But....lets see what becomes of it...to anyone who is interested in this receiver...just go to their website (
www.lyngbox.c*m) and enter the forum...lots of info there and that is where I picked up most of the info above!
