well I wouldn't be too concerned about this box because the guy with kijiji ads won't last for long promoting 3rd party software and how to install it, even if he is in Canada, is just plain dumb. Somebody better get the guy some soap on a rope

Lol this is funny
I wonder who is the authorised dealer for jynxbox or dreamlink or nanosat or next fta or linkbox 8000hd or ilink 9800hd
Go to alibaba and type jynxbox or dreamlink and u will see thousands of official dealers
I picked up one box. I am satisfied.
By buying a box you are not risking a million dollars anyway, heck just as a hobby I wanted to try some new
If you are worried about $200, quit this hobby
I never purchased it to steal tv, just to test something new I dont condone satellite piracy

Wtf?
They gotta clean up whole kijii first
I can give you 1 million ads that say from sellers that we sell fta with preloaded codes from private servers
Heck, nextfta and so called private servers are ok to sell but no, a new box is illegal
Ur post was worth a laugh thanks

Why is not page 2 of this thread loading?
It may be a great box BUT it needs dealers to support it. Guy on Kijiji just does not float my boat. No dealers. No warranties. No nothing. Not buying a pig in a poke. Looks like this site already likes the box. It has its own section already? What's up with that?
Edit: Page 2 listed when I posted.

True, not my concern but does make me wonder is all.
My problem is that I really like this concept of a build it yourself linux box. I just wish it was a bit more solidly based. Hopefully this will develop into something good for the folks. Right now this whole thing is pretty sketchy.

Kijiji has this listes in many places, has anyone actually tested this box yet though I am waiting to see some random UI pictures to out pics of the EPG pics of the IPTV interface. The asking price is that of the grandfather boxs plus the cost of a hd module on top of that is starting to dip into the steep. Because of it being linux based I would think it would be something similar to a dreambox 800 and a captivworks HD received.. just my thoughts
Testers out there let us know

I am thinking about picking one up tonight , test test test .. I am unsure of the differences between the Pro version that my friend has or to spend a 100$ more for IPTV/ VOD on the 3rd flavour for as they say, which is readily available on the net or simply using my Jynxbox android player . I was told there was nothing more than International/ indian channels on the iptv , But wondered if the Pro has the option to access the 1000,s of net stations too . I did hear you can get the weather on the pro ..lol
If there are any testers working on the pro version flavour #2 , could you please report your findings .. thanks

Yes I am wondering the same, IPTV is starting to make tremendous leaps some private IPTV's even have more then the international channels. What will really open this receiver up to possibilities is the VOD and linux based capabilities, let us know if you get one good sir

if possible, how about some pics of the guide/epg, user interface and iptv options, looks very promising and makes me interested but would be nice to see what the interface looks like, one of the things with most new receivers is the lack of detail to the guide/epg and makes the whole user experience crappy when the menu's and epg look like a kid designed it, there is more to a receiver than the way the menu's and how well the epg works and looks but would be nice to see something more advanced than what has become the norm with most newer receivers

So far this is the only pics i have seen on the menu option ..for me the one thing i like is the seperate motor section , But i am wondering if its worth the extra 100$ for Irc/ iptv/ vod option on the Hd 3rd flavour .or just stick with the pro for 250 .

Ok. Very happy to see that LeeSatt has these boxes. If it has dealer support, then I am ok. And I think Chris is very stand up guy. He always treats his customers well.
Can't wait to see this develop!
Any pics of EPG w/ NA providers? How does EPG load? How scans channels? Able to use OCS-DP LNBs yet?

Been testing this box for a week. Picture quality is great. EPG populates fine for south. VLC streaming works great to. WiFi has no disconnect issues. Samba network drive setup to my nas plays fine.
Video player does not work with digital audio. No truehd or HD DTS audio support. AC3/DTS is not working.
Love to see the kernel upgraded to Linux 3.x. Also the group should release the kernel sources. That is a must.

you can consider this forum their officical site
lol
i don't think there is any need for any thing official anyway these days
from past experiences, official websites always seems to only get the people running it behind it into trouble ;)
personally i could care less if there is any official website or not
as long as there are forums that are monitored by coders and support is provided based on the information they gather from feedbacks!!!

I find it only goes to end of file when you hit the fast forward more than 2X. Otherwise it plays back fine. But not being able to skip commercials is a pain! lol
