Hi, I'm a complete novice, but very interested in Linux based receivers.
My question is what are the benefits from installing alternative firmware images, as compared to the official image from the manufacturer? (I'm sure there are very good reasons, and I'd love to know them).
Also, what are the main differences between the alternative images, ViX, Blackhole etc. I am aware this forum leans towards ViX, but I would greatly appreciate an reasoned opinion.
I apologise if these questions are considered too simple, or are answered elsewhere, but I have not spotted anything.
Thanks in advance.
