    Darkbox review and manual?

    Hi,

    Could one or two of the 7 owners, (judging by the patch download fugures), of a Darkbox Rev 2008 HD please say something about how they find it in use. What is the picture quality like in both SD and HD? Is it worth owning?

    And are there any online manuals available to read before purchase?

    hi m8 picture quality is very good in both sd and hd, box is very easy to use and update using a usb flash drive, usb pvr function
    not working yet but will be in future updates, no channel editor at
    the mo but expected soon, au on premiere and tps with patch.
    i have not seen a manual online.

    yeah maybe it´s to early to buy a hd-box,
    anyway i´m gonna take a look at ipbox 9000hd
    or dream about a revolution when the qbox hd
    finally gets out . and then feeling betraid when they stop support the inside diablocam:(
    just tease myself and then wait a couple of months.
    and make my decision when the dark autumn gets here
    regards chris-k

    Just to correct somethink.

    SD darkbox Has been fist receiver in Market USB PVR working perfect even with Encrypt channels..

    Now about HD that never will work for PVR in USB .USB is only HOST for updating s/w
    HD model has another nice choise for PVR on the back ...Is bloke by Sticker but if you take of there is Host SATA conection by the end May that drivers will update and will be SATA PVR ...beter of USB pavr ..Sata is the faster one more quality.

    Ah picture Quality is perfect and the best Bugett Receivvers for Both SD and HD..

    now coming to New Models

    SD-PVR 2008 fix Rf modulator 21-69 sensitive tuner

    and

    HD sat and HD sat-Terrestrial Calling Combo with better performance and VDF display.

    Welldone Darkbox

    Thanks to all who contributed to this thread.

    Your answers helped me make up my mind as to which receiver to buy and consequently I have just taken delivery of a kathrein ufs 910.

    hehehe.. good one! I've been waiting 6-7 months and not a fart about PVR. But you are right, have to wait. Damn good hardware but software is... ahem.. better say nothing.
    But hey, thats a life.

    Picture is ok but support is $hit, its full of bugs and promises of updates which never appear, It should never have been released until all was fixed
