You just watch when we get a working EPG they will release this.
This is the motto which holds Opensat, almost one year. Maybe now something is on things. I give them last chance. Not with Enigma, i want to know that them depends on us. Time flies. Tic Tac, Tic Tac...Quote:
But, believe me, if you still can, at this moment, and until an official statement, or, at least some definite information is available, silence is golden.
According to some guy on a german forum. Fatgiant replied the following this an email on 3rd of february:
Message subject: Re: time runs out...Folder: Inbox
Hi,
Thanks for your message.
We are working on the release of a new software. Not a patch.
As you understand, can't give you more details, but it will be good, even if not at first
Just don't start the funeral arrangements, we aren't dead yet. And. sometimes, what looks like bad news at first glance, are actually good news.
Just wait.
Thanks.

hi fatgiant,
thanks for not deleting my thread. it should be a motivation to hurry up, cause you don't have much time left to bring the box on a good way.
at first i would like to say that i like ... most parts ... of my azbox. but the firm is far away from a stable working one. many essential things are still (after more than a year of developing) not working. and now new receivers come on the market for a cheaper price with better working firmware.
i don't wanna see the azbox ... and opensat dieing. what are you planning to do to increase developing? couldn't you make the sources public to let the community help you? i think, if you do not release a stable firmware within the next 6 -8 weeks nobody will ever buy an azbox and the others will sell the boxes to their best "enemies".
regards
Kuhnigotchi
then we expect another year? or two?
hfmls
You still on the same path yet.
You are talking the voice of azbox people ( I believe fatgiant works for them,right?) as it were money in the bank.
I mean,the only ones confirming the rumors are people connected to azbox,or am I mistaken?
Whatever will happen,will happen,but better we steer away from being in the middle.
Is not about the message,it could become true,but to back up the message with confirmation from people that spent well over one year without satisfying their customers with some confusing updates/downgrades looks silly,right?
My question is :
WHY BRING UP A NEW SOFTWARE NOW, WHEN THE OLD ONE COULDN'T BE PERFECTED IN 2 YEARS?
DOES IT SHOW THEY QUALIFY TO BRING UP SOMETHING BETTER?
IF THEY CLAIMED OLD PROBLEMS ARE ALL ABOUT THINGS THEY CANNOT CONTROL (DRIVERS AND SUPPORT FROM SIGMA),WHAT ARE THE CHANCES A NEW SOFTWARE WILL SOLVE THIS?
Again,do not put yourself in the middle,people will always attack what they have close to them (and this mean you,just because you believe what you are told).
My advice is to WAIT in silence,this things has as many chances to succeed than to FAIL miserably.( and everyone will remember how much you fought for their word)
Remember also kathrein actually passed through the same phases : proprietary software: didn't work well,then adapted E2 software : didn't work well,it never became the big thing they said it would be.
I hope we can see E2 in this box,is just there is nothing tangible for the public to understand it is true.
i don't care if they will succeed or not :S (i prefer they do of course)
once again, i just opened this thread to inform enigma 2 is coming.
the rest, i don't have a clue, how will they manage all their stuff.
i'm not associated with opensat in any field, so i don't care, i was just informing what i heard from several places.

Why do you have to explain yourself to everyone just thank you for the encouraging news
If a good image comes out will be great but if not big deal every one of us has bought receivers, cams, cards Dongles, blockers seasons ext... For thousands of dollars. I threw my dm 500+ when I got the az
still getting some good HD channels on it and now as s*y Italy down I think there might be some new
news somehow
Well , this statement shows one fact.
The approach used in the azfirmware has reached it's limits.
A Redesign is needed.
For this kind of situation there are two possibilities, start again , or take something almost ready.
It's a big temptation to take something allmost ready, it might work or there may be a wall to hit
starting again means a big work , but steady development.
Who knows which path has been selected. The rumors in this thread suggest that both options has been evaluated.
The topic is interesting, almost 170 posts to this thread. :respect-applause-00
2 words ..release the source or die AZbox
We can always turn on a coffeemaker, who becomes the manual?
haha thats 3 love the banter on satpimps tonigh :hurray:
the old saying there's 3 type of people in this world those that can count and those that cant.............. classic :)
whinging, bickering......makes for a crappy read. Just use your box within the limitations of the current firmware. If it suits you, great. If it doesn't oh well. It does me fine. I also use it as a DVB-T pvr. If E2 eventuates great, we'll have a look at it. Otherwise for the moment all this carry on is just childish.
is it really worth while having over 170 posts on something that may not even be released ? lets wait :o21:
i have been reading this post everyday, and i must say i feel sorry for hfmls
what happend to have some respect for each other guys, why do you slam someone that is trying to bring some news or at list keep the faith up.
I know how it is to be runned down when you release few infor to the public and they just SLAP you donw with many nonsence posts like we have above.
you like to belive it , then belive , you do not like to belive it , then do not but do keep away. I for one do belive that Enigma2 will come but may take time.
and at the end of the day i hate Enigma2 as it is crapy and slow, so for me there is no news that will make me happy.
I was one of few that know that Enigma2 was being developed for Octagon 1018 but did not mention it here and the reason for not doing it is because of ppl flaming with no reason, there are PPL here that have connection with few others and know few more things that a normal sat user do.
i know how we can convert few boxes from one OEM to another but i better shut up and be quite as if i say it is possible to convert this box to another, but becouse i do not give you the way to do it does not mean it is no possible
all you that try to make negative post about hfmls of Opensat, do you have anything else to prove hfmls otherwise and what he says is NOT TRUE, if you have then bring it on so we can read it and then we all can SLAM hfmls together, but if you do not have then why make the Negative posts
anyway, i realy hope that Enigma2 comes out for Azbox and then all you have to say IM SORRY to hfmls.
I'am not trying slap/bringdown/flame hfmls or OpenSat
I'am just saying Enigma isn't coming, answer is quit simple:
"There are no dvb-api's for Sigma"
No api's means no.....
Actualy i'am quit happy with what we,ve got now.
Yes there's room for improvement but here my 3 boxes are stable
what everyone forgets about the AZBOX, which others DO NOT HAVE, is the ability to do 4:2:2 in SD and HD.
FACT!
show me another box that does that!? (not the quali)
wish blind scan worked also
Cool, we buy a new receiver every time some of the stated features doesn't work. Next model will be Premium + Deluxe, it can handle network speeds above 20 Mbps.
is that the humour which is the lowest form of wit ?
I really dont get Opensat. As soon as you create a thread on their forum to ask what they are doing? Wether they are still developping or not, and what they are developping. It gets deleted :(
2 or 3 updates/week and no update now since 5 feb. I hope all developers go for enigma and not om vacation :-)
Three days have passed since someone wrote something here. Are there any news?
Am I missed something? Please point me a link to download Enigma2.
lol can point you to enigma on dreambox
10 pages of dross
But the good news is that I've just heard that Elvis is still alive
I'm not allowed to say any more about it, but maybe soon you will know.
I saw him :D. And I asked him about Enigma working in AZBox.
He told some things about AZBox firmwares number be relative to amount of bugs (so we're about 100k) and said "no", "no enigma for azbox".
I believe OpenSad is about to close their doors.
"Unless they hire some real firmware programmers".
Elvis told me that too.:smilielol5:
i don't care anymore and i'm not gonna repeat myself again, i stand with what i said so far.
u can close this thread admin. and reopen when needed.
Mate, I wanted the news to be true as much as you, howvever it seems that someone has been fibbing to you somewhere along the line.
Dont let anyone upset you with their comments, we all know that you did not mean to start gossip, only share what you believed was a future development on an already dead project.
Thanks
Yoda
any news hfmls ?
you must ask Elvis :)
they said that by end of the month we will have it.lets hope its true
