Re: gigablu linux

saw this box for 159€ single tuner and 169€ for double tuner ,not a bad price if you want to try a linux box.Does it have it's own images .

Re: gigablu linux

It does run under the gigablu image but being same as the dream box should run under enigma etc. it seems to be a german derived box and there are forums that have images for it.

Re: gigablu linux

hi happy camper, again i would not waste your time on a little known box like that, you already trying to find write ups and reliability, and main reason to avoid, where will you get the support, if you going to take the plunge in the linux boxes, take the main route, dreambox. toby

Re: gigablu linux

The suport of the gigablu is not bad but i thing you can finde better reciver.

Dreambox is on top right, but there are very good alternative linux based receiver like the vu+ duo or uno.
