Hi

And sorry but why this is in best Linux based HD sat receiver section....

BR,Q

[goran]

Because I am asking.

[Who's claiming anything? :respect-050:]

[goran]

Just found this:

https://www.satpimps.co.uk/showthrea...822#post676822

Which OS? Looks like Linux, so what is it? OS21 - what?

[quibath]

Hi

Well, if you think on that way that it´s a linux box you can take a lot of other receivers also here.Also new spiderbox HD etc...and a lot of similar as TM-7100.(not so many tuners of course)

TM has also 9100 super(and elder 9100) models which are Linux based receivers actually pretty similar as ITGate.But SD ones. (Yes I have it)

Technomate HD linux receiver is comming soon, Technomate and ITGate had already made great linux receivers, lets see if the HD is as good as the old ones.

But no problem for me m8 i do not get any haemorrhoids about it :respect-062:

BR,Q

[goran]

I do not understand you problem/measuring stick/basis for judgement. :toetap05:

For me it's simple: is it Linux OS or not? Full stop!

It's not philosophy, this. It's rather simple.:svengo:

We are also not asking if a box has a clone - just is it Linux HD box and what other capacities it has...

Please, list them and state how it works, its features, what kind of support it has, its shortcomings etc.

If you know for sure. Not if you heard something from a third person.

Thanx!:coolgleamA:

[quibath]

Hi

Take it easy.I did not offend to You.I was only asking why its on linux based hd section...and then this starts.

Linux based are open source receivers like TM9100 (also 500/600 series)

I think I did not mention any word "Clone" in my reply.

So how many teams are making images for tm 7100 ?

And I really do not care how other people are dividing these to linux/non linux groups.Main thing is that all know what are we talking about.
(because there are many receivers in the middle...but they are not linux based receivers even having newcamd etc...)

Simply:Its not a linux receiver.But I hope all the best for that in future.

BR,Q

[goran]

Look, if you know something we don't - then say it openly, please.

Don't *****foot about and leave things hanging in the air.

Be precise, please, and give full info.

Otherwise, it's not worth it.

Really, it isn't!

Thanx!

[quibath]

Hi
And sorry,
I was only talking about is it a linux receiver or not.Thats all.

And I will not continue anymore about it now.

BR,Q

[goran]

So, no full info again, making it all look very superficial and "third hand"... Eccchhhh....

[goran]

:woot-035amn, this I'd like to test!!!:respect-050: I have a few quick Qs:

1) Which processor/chipset does it use? This is important re. various formats that it can play...

2) How much, what kind and which memory exactly does it have?

3) Which tuners are built-in? Also, why do they not support 1080p? Is HW-based blindscan fully operational, so one does NOT need to give it SR or any other parameter, before it can search? PiP working well?

4) Does it have HW-based multimedia streaming or only plug-ins based, sort of "stuck on top"? Indeed, does it have the streaming option ([W]LAN and USB/eSATA)?

5) Is eSATA port working well [tested] for an external HDD when one watches films? Btw, I can't see one on the photos... Is it the one inside, where the HDD caddy plug in or...?

6) Which formats [and at which bitrates] can it play: video, audio, photo? Can it play all the formats and bitrates not only from internal/external HDD but also USB memory stick?

7) Does it all work WELL, without stuttering or freezes, streaming-wise, too: from a PC/laptop/NAS drive?

8) Which OS does it use? If it is Linux - are they allowing the hobbyists to use all the necessary tools for developing FW/SW for it?

9) NewCS + CCcam is a complete Card Reader/Server + Client package, working flawlessly with all cards or some or even many have "hiccups" while working?

10) Some state 1 and some state 2 built-in card readers? Which is it and why the discrepancy? Another "semi-product" hitting the high street or...?!?

11) Any other Emus/CS SW available for it?

12) How about plug-ins and tools [like Channel list editor] for it: any available?

13) It has only 16 Favs? How come?

14) Which teams are writing for this machine?

15) Is DiSEqC 1.1 fully operational [up to 64 LNBs]?!? Twin sat TV tuner means one could easily need 32 or more LNBs with a Toroidal dish and 16 Twin LNBs!

Vantage VT-1 - New Full HDTV satellite receiver with removable hard disk
The Vantage Digital GmbH, headquartered in Carlsbad with the VT-1 brings a new HDTV hard disk recorders on the market that offers some peculiarities.
While many other Festplattenrecoder have a built-in 3.5-inch hard drive, is the VT-1 allowed by its integrated 2.5-inch hard disk removable frame on the smaller hard drive version and through the frame quick and simple change of the hard drive without the device to open must. When Target Disk Mode users all the functionality of a PVR is available, so the manufacturer. About the timer function can be easily and precisely recorded television programs. Also time-shift TV (time shift) is possible.

An integrated SD card reader provides all the PVR features including an SD card. In addition to the SD card and play back music files (MP3) or are carried out to update the system software.

To receive pay-TV is equipped the Vantage VT-1 with two CI interfaces and two built-in Conax card readers. Uses of the desired provider Conax encryption is only one smart card is necessary and the program can now be decoded.

A unique feature of the VT-1 is the so-called dual-boot, which makes the device boot 2 different areas are available. While on the 1st Boot the normal standard operating system of the box is found, is on the 2nd Boot space for a Linux operating system, which the manufacturer in the 2nd Quarter of 2010 provide for free will.

The diversity of the connection VANTAGE VT-1 is impressive, then in addition to the HDMI output for flat-screen TVs and 2 HDMI inputs to find the cameras, Bluray player or other external digital devices can be connected directly. In addition, we find a component output and three USB 2.0 ports for connecting other digital media. For the perfect sound provide an optical and a coaxial digital output. On the integration of the box in the home network, a network connection is available.

The VT-1 has had 430 mm width hi-dimensions and can be integrated into a home stereo. If he is to be stored under cover, an external IR sensor can be connected and thus supplies the box with the commands of the remote control.

"In developing the DF-1, we have attached importance to the technologically feasible, easy operation and stylish design," says Steven Enseroth, managing director of Vantage Digital GmbH "As with 8000 series we have the quiet design of the front not by **** disturbed. The sensor enables the control panel right on VT-1 by light touch. "



Vantage Full HD 1080p - HDTV receiver with dual HDMI and Digital OLEDVon Vantage is a new hard disk receiver HDTV Full HD 1080p "for satellite TV with multimedia features. The new Full HD 1080p was just at the Anga Cable to the professional audience. Above all, through his noble front with touch-sensor buttons is at first glance, the new Full HD 1080p PVR made by Vantage. The front page was in the look of brushed aluminum design. The first highlight of the front sits a self-luminous OLED display (Organic Light Emitting Diode), as an information display. Very nice is the developer of Vantage the complete design at the "Full HD 1080p" succeeded. Small piano look or cheap plastic. Even the feet have a high quality hi-fi component. But additionally occurs a second HDMI port on the back shows, which as yet not a single HDTV receiver can identify.

As a hardware chipset used in the Vantage Full HD 1080p The new SoC STi7105 (advanced HD decoding IC for STB) with the following data:

■ Advanced high definition video decoding
(H264/VC-1/MPEG2)
■ Advanced standard definition video decoding
(H264/VC-1/MPEG2/AVS)
■ Advanced multi-channel audio decoding
(MPEG 1, 2, MP3, DD / DD +, AAC / AAC +,
WMA9/WMA9pro)
■ Linux, Windows CE and OS21 compatible ST40
applications CPU (450 MHz)
■ 32-bit compatible DDR1/DDR2 local memory
interface
■ Multi-stream, capable DVR transport stream
processing
■ Extensive connectivity (dual USB hosts,
e-SATA, ethernet MAC / MII / RMII, MPX, and
PCI)
■ Advance security and DRM support including
SVP, MS-DRM and DTCP-IP
■ DVD decryption data

Like when AzBox Elite / Premium HD or the new SRP-2100 by Topfield, the new "Full HD 1080p," the video output of up to 1080p (1920 x 1080 progressive at 60 or 50 frames) on the HDMI 1.3a deliver. HDTV receivers are sufficient for the operation of the 1080i TV, the interlaced method with fields at 1920 × 1080, but since the "Full HD 1080p HD video with 1080p playback, it is a native 1080p image output may be necessary. Precise information on playback formats are not yet available.

[goran]

Not bad...

Smart recs [the new crop coming] have dual boot [Linux from USB stick] etc. but they have a cheaper tuner -> 1080i only... Also in Ferguson...

Stronger processor in Coolstream, for instance...

The price is steep!

How about "our" toys for it - Linux toys...?
