Below are some pics of the box and menu's















Ease of Use - The remote is small and compact but not fiddly, you can easily move about the menu's with ease, the menus as you can see are simple and concise,

Pic Quality - The HD chans are spot on, clear and crisp and chan change is quick

Sound - Have connected the box to a 800watt home cinema system and the sound is clear and not muffled using both the SPDIF and also the standard Audio cable output

Updating - The box is updated via the USB at the rear, the chan file is of the SYS type and I will include the chan editor in the post, its simple to use easy to move chans about.

Sharing - Again the box comes with the full range of cams loaded, I have tested this box using a NLINE and its been faultless, clearing chans as required, will add a tut on how to do this

Add Ons - The box comes loaded with youtube, you porn, Internet TV and Radio, Google and a host of other, all work and are fast

Updates - This is the bit I like and simple, the firmware updates are done via a USB or online via the box menu, but it also shows you a change log of each software and what has been updated and keep a record of this in the box itself

Recording - The box utilizes the USB at the rear for this, the usual can be done pause, rewind etc, no issues at all, used a 4GB mem stick formatted to FAT32

Media - The box plays media via the USB, MKV, AVI, MP3 etc, with ease

Media Server - The box has the facilty to play media on your network (havent tested this myself) but you can set this up from the menu.

Whats in the box - Each box comes with a HDMI cable and a RCA cable (yellow, white, Red), remote and batteries


Based on what I have seen, the box is a good one and I would recommend it for someone who is looking to get a good sat box, the support for the box is there. The box is small, smaller than the old SV4 box, One thing that is slow is the box starting up, its Linux, the USB at the back is close to the lan port, underneath it, so if the memory stick u use is bulky, you will have a slight issue slotting it, due to the proximity of the lan port and cable, but if you use a small HD with usb cable then ure fine, but other than that, I havent found fault yet with it or the running of the box, havent encountered any freezing with it

Below is the Chan Editor

I have the Chan file done should anyone need it, lined up with Irish chans and favs all done such as movies, sports, HD etc - I added a tut on adding lines to the box, a few retailers have these now such a DC Receivers and I can see them taking off,

EDIT - Since the box launched there have been a few updates, such as new Apps for this, apart from the usual Youtube etc, there is a lot more on it, some of it is directed at a German / European market, but work well, there is a new addition which allows streaming via VLC, havent tried it yet. There will be new apps for your phone to alow you work the box via your IPHONE and Android device,

Press Menu - then Plugins then scroll to XCAMCONFIGURE, press the red button on the remote and change this to Auto, then press the green button to start and this will take you to server list and press OK on server 0.

Where you put your Username and password, it will be starred out out, so highlight username and enter in 1407 on the remote and this will then open it up to edit or add details, once you enter your line (always take your time doing this, its where all easy mistakes happen, then go to XCAMCLIENT, change this to Auto by pressing the red button and press green and this will start your line and do it automatically,
