    Hardly a surprise, Azbox has been a disaster since day one.

    Hello,

    Here again the professionalism of OPENSAT.
    I think they should sell coffee machine and RTI Team grind the coffee beans.

    I'm happy to have sold my Azbox percolator HD.

    Regards.

    I had an Elite for a while and it was superb in regard to SAT & Mediaplayer but it was so obvious that it was released before it was fully developed as Timeshift and PVR functionality were all but non-existant.

    AZBox promised the world but delivery Mars instead.

    I was hoping the Me would finally be the box for me but sadly not it would now seem.

    Just a quick update on the AzBox ME front. As you all know, this receiver is not yet being sold yet in North America as ourselves along with the other distributor over here don't feel that the current AZTrino software that comes with the unit is suitable for use in the North American market. Unfortunately, after examining the current Neutrino/AZTrino source code, it would be almost impossible to overhaul it so that it at least matches the current level of functionality as found in the current firmware that comes with the AzBox Elite, Ultra and Premium Plus.

    This is why that we at AzBox Canada are currently working with Opensat in getting the Android operating system functional with the AzBox ME. The advantage of having Android is that we can easily leverage existing Android applications in order to provide enhanced multimedia functionality to the unit. Already, we have the Android web browser running smoothly on the ME which runs a LOT better than the existing web browser found in the current AzBox models. Currently, we are working on having the DVB demux interface operating on Android which is the "bridge" between the tuner backend and the video display frontend in order to be able to view satellite TV channel video and audio in Android.



    We will keep everyone posted on our progress as updates are available but rest assured, we are working very hard in bringing you a receiver that won't disappoint!

    At this point, we would like to keep our timeline as open as possible so technically, it will be launched on or before the end of summer which is September 21st 2012. We will eventually release an official launch date as we approach the end of pre-launch development in order to reduce the possibility of having to delay the launch.

    However, we are designing the AzBox Me Android edition with the feedhunter in mind so some of the workarounds that are currently required with our existing receivers won't be needed anymore. For example, we will reduce restrictions when adding frequencies in order to allow closely spaced TP's to still be added. (i.e. SatMex, NSS806, etc...)

    All the hype and marketting BS for the ME has been going on for over a year and still it is not fully developed and yet they are out there for sale. Typical OpenSat!

    They can do what the fook they want I will NOT begin even thinking about buying another Openshyte box ever again.

    The engineers at the public-sector enterprise Open Sat will continue to write flaky software since public sector engineers cannot be fired

    The bailout imposes new austerity measures on the debt-burdened country but doesn’t seem to include cuts to the minimum wage or reductions in public-sector jobs, requirements that were unpopular in earlier deals for Ireland and Greece. It is almost impossible to fire someone from a public sector job in Portugal, regardless of performance (or lack of it).

    Plenty of Feedhunters in the UK who want it just for 4.2.2, me included. I'm not interested in You Tube etc... I know what will be going in my box when it's available, in the meantime, AZtrino with the blindscan suit me fine.

    AZtrino 1.6 on the ME with blindscan and PB VX on the plus with AZtrino 1.1 on a USB stick, no blindscan on the plus yet.
