Can anybody who has owned the Innovative receiver for a while now give an opinion on the reliability of the server etc?

Can't make my mind up in terms of going for this or open Linux machine - my question is to what extent the receiver represents a viable option in terms of watching prem footy?

Cheers

The server is up around 95% of the time I try to use the Innovative. As for football, via C/S it clears ART Sports and Nova Supersports, TP$ Foot / Star on 13E, and I believe it clears Sh0wtime on 7W (I can't get a strong enough signal to check).

It did clear Sport1 from Holland (but this has been down for more than 1 week), and nobody has bothered to explain why the Dutch package is down :(

D+ and Cabo work, and Premiere did until they reintroduced MECM.

My experience after 6 months is the same as drPaulos the server is up during all the football matches I have watched (MU) It seems there is no direct contact with the server admin as they very rarely deem to answer any questions. Generally a good stb IMHO.........Regards N.

Linux machine or Innovative? toss a coin time !

[drpaulos]

That is a tough one. If you want out the box, no cards needed, plug into the internet, a few presses on the remote, and channels will clear, the Innovative is the way to go.

If you want future proofing, a bit more playing, and a need for either a card to share, or ongoing payment, Linux box is the way to go.

As mentioned in another thread, there is a retailer selling the TM-9100 very cheap at the moment (I can't say where as it would break the forum rules).

The Innovative is going for about the same price (or slightly cheaper).

The Docs got a valued point .

Both boxes are going real cheap at the moment and if you were thinking on your toes as I am sure you are
Get both .... because if you purchased the TM9100 at its normal value price it would have cost you the price of both right now ... so you are on a win win you are looking at a gift horse in the mouth..at aprox £240 for both

Enjoy

Yep my next stb is going to be a Tm 9100.........So I will have both pain and pleasure .....Regards N.

I have had one for a few months now and i must say it is the best bit of kit for the very low price that i paid it has all ways worked 100% for me with no problems server on 24/7 not like the cr*p visionnet that was up down like a yoyo yes i am very happy

i have just orderd both recivers, the innovative and the technomate 9100, £227.99 delivered. i have had 2 innovative recivers before and had to send both back and then i lost 230 quid as they did not arrive and the post office is crap. still m8 says they hve inproved now so will try again. lets hope the both work fine. funny really, more or less the same price for a pvr as well.
