[alunfennell]

Dont see it advertised very much online.

You can get it for 195 euro off Hm-sat in Germany plus p+p.
I'm toying with the idea of getting one of these as spec wise its pretty unbeatable.
I could use it for Satellite and MMDS as it has a DVB-T tuner and a DVB-S tuner.
The only close alternative is the Dm7025 but its way more expensive and doesnt have built in Wifi or Diablo.
The only things putting me off are the lack of information on its stability and whether it is good at cardsharing.

i have also been looking at these but hd version released or will be released soon specs on another forum

[alunfennell]

That surprises me there is no HD model, a receiver with all this kit built in wirless Diablo cam running on ENIGMA different tuners for different services, but yet they leave out the latest technology HD:viking:makes no sence at all.

hd model being released jan 09 guide price 450-500 euros

[satman]

be carefull with that HD version,,,
If it does indeed use ST7101 chip from STlinux then enigma2 will be no guarenteed to work straight away,,,,,,,

guys with katherins and ipbox will tell you just on beta enigma2 for Stlinux yet,, but defo the way to go,, will piss of DMM big time,

[2tone]

and going by rick at duolabs he would be more in to pulling the wool over your eyes , but for the money it dose look good will have to wait and see

[duracell]

I got a QBox last week. It's a nice box but the support for it is pretty poor.
The only images I can find for it are just slightly modified official images.
(eg different skins)
I dont think duolabs have released any way to compile your own images like
you can for a dreambox so I doubt that any good images will appear any time soon. Also, I could't get evocamd or mgcam to work. CCcam and gbox both run ok.

As I thought .
A receiver is only as good as its support.
No evocamd or mgcamd means it wont run Chorus MMDS so I guess its no good to me.
Back to the drawing board so .

[alunfennell]

I think you use the underworld software with this receiver at the moment it is the only one to open Conax encryption, there has to be regular updates of Underworld and its keys to keep these channels open so the support should be there somewhere.

Duolabs have always do this stuff themselves, unless they think hacking teams will take up the mantel and do softcams and updates for them ? I could realy see the QBOX without very much support unlike Dreambox .

m8 duolabs dont do every thing them selfs they have riped of alot of people sorting stuff out for them , i know people who had these receivers from the start of the year to see what they thought of them and i also know one of the teams that did a lot of work on the diablo cam and were asked to work on the qbox but as they wanted 10 or so receivers there was no come back but what i will say is the hd one will be good when it comes along and they wont do what they did with the diablo cam update

[alunfennell]

What I was realy trying to get at was Duolabs have been playing games with customers for years, As reported Duolabs went as far as buying Keys from certain providers and emulating them on there hardware, the reason why you might ask (an Indirect subscription) this provided extra supscription income for providers mainly in Spain.

This answers how Duolabs can open other Encryptions that have yet to be opened by other forms of hadware and software, also this could be why Duolabs would not hand over there receivers to be worked on by Hacking Teams because they buy what they need.

m8 the diablo was done by a hacking team duolabs came up with the idea and have the tools to build it also they have the stuff to hack a card after all they can make cards them selfs , hackers do the firmware its the same as the base unite they have and now the wifi cam all work done by hacking teams duolabs put the money up , look were all there support comes from for there stuff hackers as for buying keys this is a story that has been going about and no one is 100% sure about this after all they only make a cam they dont put key files on there site or relate to them in any way all work is done by hackers and forums , why the team i know of did not get the receivers is nothing to do with key files rick is as fly as they come and even with the base unit he pulled a move on the team that worked on it also the receiver has a diablo in it and they have worked on it already so why not the receiver from what i know they were asked to make the firmware loader , key files and images but it never came of lots of messing about went on thats all i can say .

Also any one can open an encryption just look at what nds did to nagra and got away with it so why cant duolabs do it as long as they dont pass it on we can only wait and see what come's of it

I put a sifteam image on it and evocamd works great on it now.
woo hoo!.

Interesting.Might be worth a go.
Can you use the DVB-T and DVB-S tuners in the same channel lists ?
Whats it like for cardsharing ?

[benny/9]

from to-day the conax channels on thor 1w, eurobird 9e, and astra 19e
are down to-day on the diablo cam digialb and the chns on 8w
are still open so it looks like a new underworld file is needed

[alunfennell]

Duolabs released a new Update today should fix it, if not a totaly new patch will be required.

Fix for last Underground Patch.
(UnderWorld147) NEW (La7 fixed) DATA.BIN (renamed) + S2 TABLES (S2_NL.BIN missing in last firmware)

enigma 1 only supports one tuner. for the Qbox, it is a satellite tuner. the Qbox switches between the 2 tuners automatically. So, if you want to manual scan on 218Mhz you have tune to 12218 Mhz and set the symbol rate 800 to let to STB know that it's a terrestrial transponder.

This works great UNLESS you have a motorised setup because the terrrestrial
channels are associated with a satellite. The qbox tries to move the satellite dish when you switch to a terrestrial channel from a channel on a different satellie.

I havent tried any cardsharing, but AFAIK ,the Qbox has a piece of hardware
that can delay the video stream by a few seconds. Which I think is for cardsharing

thanks for all

[Narc]

Thanks for the files.

Man there is lots to read. AU on/off PMT....Slowly getting through all the info. Do you now if there is a clear cut definition in one place where I can truely master the Diablo card. I still have only the card 2.3. and the CAS 3 programmer, no card inserted, cant find out what the cards do.... If anyone can help please let me know. In the meantime I will keep on reading tp try to become an enlightend one...

if you are asking about the green palastic dummy cards
and ribbon cable you got with the cas3 programmer they
are for use programming various different cams. and are
not used to program the diablo cam.
