Golden Media 990

[Emkwrx]

I have been looking at buying the Golden Media 990 (LX or Reloaded) and would like to know if anyone has this box and how does it compare to the Gigablue 800 HD Solo. Does it have a proper 7 day EPG for Sly UK, does pause, rewind, fast forward work without freezing, does CCCam work as client without any issues?

I have also seen that they are ready to release the Golden Media Triplex receiver, do you think it is worth waiting for this instead?

Re: Golden Media 990

I would go for the Gigablue if I were you. It is an up and coming reciever and gaining support all the time.
However, if you want a twin tuner the vu+ duo originals are going to fall in price soon.
The vu+ duo2 is coming out end of the year and are likely to be very expensive.
But to clear stock I think the prices of the originals will fall from their already well priced £290.

Re: Golden Media 990

Sorry, should have made clearer that I have the gigablue receiver and was wondering how the GM 990 compared to it. Also, looking for a box that would cost around £100 (can get the GM 990 for this).

can answer some of these questions mainly because i have had the reloaded for less than 2 weeks ,cccam works fine softcams work fine its a bit picky about flashpens but managed to find a couple it can read .it also scans sats well this is all on the spark boot ,on the e2 side the soft i have loaded at the moment neutrino_hd_gm990_flashimg is quite nice to look at but when scanning gives me some channels multiple times and misses others out completely and i cannot get cccam working on this could be just me though its my first linus box .

i wanted the triplex but dvbt2 wont be out on that box for months and dvbt is useless in the uk ,so i gave it a miss

cheers

Re: Golden Media 990

Thanks for the info. Hope you can help further, what is the EPG like for the UK channels (freesat and Sly) is it now and next or can you get a 7 day EPG, also can you pause and play without it crashing?

if your talking about cs with sly then i'm pretty sure its full epg i have mono block pointing at 13e and 19 e both sly it and germany have full epg
and both pause and play without crashing as for freesat thats a mystery to me i think people were having problems getting full epg on a none freesat box

Re: Golden Media 990

im owning the gm990 too, dont know the gigablue 800... but the gm with its sparksoft should do all the things u want (proper epg, no freezing if pauses oder something)..
cccam is although running but i changed to oscam, think its better with the sparksoftware.. i havent tested the other (enigmaII, dual boot box) os very often

Re: Golden Media 990

i found one GM990 for 100euros but i hear rumors about the receiver support so i like to hear from someone that is "playing" all the time with the box. updates images addons any problem for yours experience?
