Darkbox 9000 HD will Run enigma, not one or two but an in between!

It will also run CCcam.

Maybe darkman can give us some more info here.

Not sure you can have an in between they use very different processes, enigma1 is based on c+ and c++ and enigma 2 is based on python with a backend written in C++.
If you try to mix the 2 then it would probably cause more problems than solve, I mean how would you select what plugins to run, are they to be based round C or python?

That said it is possible to get enigma running on other hardware by porting it.
What is not possible is to get Cccam running on any box that uses an SH4 processor which the Ipbox 9000 uses as does the Kathrein and many other HD boxes out there except the Dreams.

So if you need Cccam do not go for a box based on an SH4 processor even if it is running a variant of Enigma as you will be disappointed.

If you have no need for Cccam then the Ipbox 9000 is a good choice and I have to say the specs of the Darkbox look good as well.

well they are the same box

the only difference will be if a different team appears making an image solely for the darkbox .... but again it will work on IP box and cuberevo and of course the other important thing is Price !!!

any news on the exact pricing ?

[kegnkiwi]

There is mention of another box due out shortly with a Sigma SMP 8634 LF mips chip set. This is posted on another forum by a very well respected member, more info to be posted later in the month. Maybe "THE" all singing all dancing box is on its way.:respect-053:

I hear that an Enigma for the AB9000HD will be released at the end of this month so another criteria met:biggrinjester:............... .Regards N.

[mytoza]

I think you will find that's enigma for the 900 not the 9000 but only Gbox, Mgcamd, camd3 and evocamd will be available as emus much the same as what is available for the kathrein.

Just to be clear Enigma 1 does not and will not support twin tuners, for this you have to have enigma 2 or another flavour of linux running your box such as STi linux which is the default linux for SH4 processors.
Also there are parts of Enigma2 that are not open source and this is why porting it is a very slow process as can be seen with the port to the Kathrein as this has been in alpha stage for months and has only recently progressed beyond the need for a separate nfs server to boot it.
This is another reason why an in between of E1 and E2 is not likely to work very well if at all.

However Enigma1 on the 900 is a big break through and will still make the 900HD a much more attractive prospect as an HD receiver.

I take it you are talking about Enigma 2 on the ipbox 9000, enigma 1 cannot support twin tuners.

[cooler]

I think at the moment the best hd solution would be skyHD, with the kind of price you are paying for these boxes, you might as well subscribe for many years and get uninterrupted viewing.

Also I heard there is a project going on to make skyHD boxes to install Linux on them, as they have Linux of sort on them already.

Also you got so many good quality boxes out there and dream is not one of them especially what they did, they should never be forgiven for that, and can you imagine the price would from the rip off's if it not for ipbox and likes, we'd probably be paying thousand odd quids for dm800.

The Darkbox 9000HD I think is going be the best especially in price, and we all know darkman go crazy sometimes and might even give it out at the cost price, to get a better share in the market.

[Keano]

m8 I agree with you about sky hd being a good box and i had to think long and hard about cancelling it last week.

Full sky hd package will set you back £55 a month.

I have just bought the ipb*x 900 for £250, so 5 months of subs will cover the cost.

Then your sky hd box is not going to drive your motor east to west nor will open many other providers across Europe and the Middle East.

Finally the bottom line is most of guys on here are hobbist and having a box that can't be messed with is no fun, I've got 7 linux boxes sat here now and no doubt that will increase to 8 before Christmas.

I am looking forward to trying engima on ipb*x and also looking forward to Darkmans box.

[goran]

Thanxc for the replies and the PM, guys! Appreciated. Will respond more tomorrow, must go to bed now.

Just 1 Q: which one has the most sensitive tuner: sat and terrestrial, please?

[bobi]

I take it you are talking about Enigma 2 on the ipbox 9000, enigma 1 cannot support twin tuners.

cant say much mate, and do not know much either.
just know some enigma is being developed , if it is enigma 1 or 2
i do not know .

From what I understand it's only Enigma 1 working at the moment on the 900?

[mytoza]

It is only Enigma 1 on the 900 that is for sure, but to be able to utilize the twin tuners in the 9000, whether it be the Darkbox or the Ipbox you will have to have Enigma 2.
Porting Enigma 2 is a whole different kettle of fish to Enigma 1, just ask Kathrein owners

[goran]

I think it's all here, including IP TV and so on. The lot! It's a Linux based Multimedia Centre!!!!!:respect-069::respect-046::respect-067:
