Gigablue Quad

[Larry-G]

Really? Thats not what Sicilian says

yes there is a image but it's a beta image as i believe no members of the team have units to test it on, and we wont release a untested image.

 

[Stanman]

its semantic there is no released image for the quad as yet

 

[banie01]

I didn't mean to be picky or pedantic,moreso pointing out that it was posted by the boss there was an image and that was followed by a post from a team member saying there was none.
So I can understand why a new(Low post count i mean) member like Bobby1 thought there might be an immediate release based on Sic's post and why he would be confused by Stan's follow up.
I know, and many others here do too that there won't be a VIX release for the quad until it is tested and stable, and it will surely be worth waiting for.

Looks really snappy

 

[dfdream]

That looks the Biz.
Was looking at an Ultimo but this looks better..and £339...Thats good...
Wow it boots fast...Hopefully the images with it boot that fast...
How does that boot speed compare with other gigablues (its 2-3 times faster than my Duo or Solo.
The one downside for me is no sat cards available till 2013. (Any idea when as that could be 3 months upto 15 months.)

 

[Stanman]

No one has one so apart from vid not sure if any one can give an actual user feedback. Iirc the dvbs2 us around Q1/2 of 20103.

 

[Rob van der Does]

Be advised that boot times depend very much on settings, skin and installed plugins. So one can't really say anything useful about this without knowing the configuration.

Hi,
another downside only one card reader. The boot speed is indeed very nice but the ultra fast switching speed does not really impress me.

ciao

 

[rossi2000]

one card reader is more than i need

are the c/t tuners avaialble at launch or are they Q1/Q2 2013 aswell?

 

[Stanman]

You can buy the C/T at launch http://www.world-of-satellite.co.uk...ceiver-2-DVB-S-S2-2-Plug-and-play-Tuner-Slots

 

[rossi2000]

ye i noticed that, but there only for sale pre-installed.
i would assume they'll be avaialble separately then.

i dont want 1 right away.

Apperantly it is the limitation of the Enigma 2.

 

[75mak]

should be available for sponsor around 10/10/12 - can pre order now. Any chance you could ship with vix image installed by that date? or will the image need much more testing?

 

[75mak]

also, does the quad have gigabit ethernet?


i'm ready to order one from the sponsor, as £339 seems a great price in relation to ultimo and duo2 which will likely be much more. I really need to know if the remote sensor is anywhere as effective as the vu duo. As my duo is currently out of sight and (harmony) remote still works well.

Hi,
I read a report on another board and there was a complain because of no GBit still only 100MBit.
