JYNXBOX V2 AND V3 BITE THE DUST - THEY ARE DISCONTINUED


JUST VISITED THE WEBSITE OF THE SITE SPONSOR TO CHECK ON A COUPLE OF THINGS AND CLICKED ON THE JYNXBOX V3 AND WAS INFORMED BY THIS AUTHORIZED JYNXBOX DEALER THAT THE JYNXBOX ULTRA V2 AND V3 HAVE BEEN DISCONTINUED AND ARE BEING REPLACED WITH THE NEW JYNXBOX ULTRA LITE RECEIVER.!!

WHICH IS NOT IN STOCK YET! SO IF ANYONE WANTS A NEW GENUINE JUNKBOX THEY WILL HAVE TO PURCHASE A NEW ULTRA LITE WHICH SINCE IT IS JUST BEING INTRODUCED HAS NOT HAD A THROUGH PUBLIC TESTING. THEREFORE IT WILL BE SOMETIME UNTIL IT IS KNOWN WHETHER THE BOX HAS HARDWARE ISSUES SUCH AS THE J200 PROBLEMS WITH THE ULTRA BOXES OR ANY OTHER HARDWARE PROBLEMS.

In addition the initial 3rd party firmware is apparently just out of beta or perhaps it is still in beta don't know except we all know that the initial firmware for almost any box that has ever hit the market has bugs. The jynxbox team has been very slow and unsupportive as far as fixing the various issues in the firmware for the ultra hd boxes with many months passing before they released any new files to fix known problems. It became rather apparent that the motivation of the coders to release any updates at all to fix the jb problems was not because of the bugs in the software but the real motivation was to introduce their clone killer files to the public.

Whether there performance will improve with the release of this new box is anyone's guess. Personally if asked by any members my recommendation is CAUTION with a WAIT AND SEE ATTITUDE before purchasing this box. I would imagine that it won't be long before we are able to ascertain whether this new box works as advertised or is as buggy as it's predecessors the JB ULTRA HD BOXES.

When the clones of this box hit the market, we all know what we can expect from the jb coding team many of whom I believe have been banned from this site due to their misbehavior here.

There is no reason to think that the same Chinese factories that knocked up the ultra hd boxes won't do the same to this box - actually I'm kind of surprized that the clones have not hit the market before the first of the genuine ultra lite boxes have been distributed. THEREFORE I ALSO RECOMMEND EXTREME CAUTION AND ADVISE AGAINST PURCHASING ANY CLONES OF THIS NEW BOX AS IT WOULD NOT SURPRIZE ME IF THE FIRST OF THE 3RD PARTY FIRMWARE UPDATE WHICH IS NECESSARY IN ORDER TO USE THIS BOX WITH IKS HAS CLONE KILLER PROGRAMMING BUILT INTO IT. IF THAT IS THE CASE THOSE WHO PURCHASE A CLONE OF THIS BOX MAY END UP WITH ANOTHER DOOR STOP.

sure they were slow, I would have been as well and I imagine you would have been if you were producing files for other boxes instead of your own. really surprised they released any files at all at that point seeing as how the lite was already in proto testing when the clones hit the market.

as for the new file I imagine it will have bugs as well. when was the last time you seen any box hit the market and only ever have to release one file? LOL if that ever happened nobody would buy it because then they would have nothing to complain about :)

well I don't know how well they will sell but it seems like a lot of people chomping at the bit and quite a few already have them via a round about way. Guess it is a wait and see game in those regards.

now regarding your other comments. all HD boxes run warm to hot, even the provider boxes. if you were not satisfied then why didn't you sell it and get something different? regardless what you call it, a hobby, free tv, satellite piracy it makes no difference. there is no guarantees in any of this stuff, anybody not satisfied simply moves on to something else.

The fact remains that whether you like Jynx or not, not many new boxes worth a crap at all are being released. I had high hopes for several new boxes but they are all pooping out with vaporware, heat problems, PVRs that don't work. Pretty sad state of affairs out there in FTA-land. Maybe the Jynx lite will break the spell and maybe not. I am also watching Pinwheel but that box still unable to do OCS-DP LNBs and it's PVR not works. Pretty sad. I remember not too long ago that boxes were well built and didn't overheat and had working PVRs. Oh well. I drift off topic but maybe not. Only saying that I will be giving Jynx a chance to redeem itself with the lite. I actually like my HD Dual. I wish the PVR worked. I wish it could actually scan channels like the dreamlink. Lets see if they get their stuff together @ Jynx now.

If the boxes are discontinued, will we see any new files for them or will the focus be on the Lite?

My understanding is there will still be files.

Just saw a listing for the "new" on a popular auction site....

Funny - it looks a LOT like the Azbox....

Lots of rumblings going on in the azbox camp (from what I hear)... curious to see what this box does and what level of support it has. The other units could have been great with a little more support - they kinds shot themselves in the foot with the lack of attention the first go round and are going to have to make this one GREAT to rebound.

Models change so fast you just get one set up and then its discontinued and the support drys up its getting harder to find a box with staying power

My bets are on linkbox (the old pansat camp). Better build quality - better warrant.
