The Best DM800 Image

[smith]

There have been a few new images that have hit the streets recently and I am considering whether it is worth updating my box; I was just interested in other peoples experiences with the latest images?

Presently I'm running PLI Jade final from October 08 with bootloader 62; I have the following findings:-

Pros's

Very stable
Excellent picture on SD
Excellent picture and performance on HD
Box runs cool
Instant startup from standby
Supports CCCam well

Con's

Positioner difficult to setup - Expect this is the same for all E2 images?
I don't like channel navigiation compared to 500 - Expect this is the same for all E2 images?
Skin support not great - I like to modify the skin to show things like frequency and CCCam info
Reponse of remote inconsistent - sees a key press twice or not at all sometimes
Cannot scan / slow scan on a satellite with dead/weak transponders
Cannot delete channels or satellites - for some reason I have duplicate channels and satellite
Web interface a bit flakey - But aren't they all??
Occasional lip sync problems

I?m also using the same version of PLi, however, do you know how to show the channel provider name in OSD?

Its part of the skin settings, I've tried a few skins downloaded from the PLI site and haven't found one that suits me. On my 500 I have New Blueline 3.0 skin which allows information to add info in the Extras/Settings > General menu. Can't see all that in the 800??

I have searched all the settings, no such option to add the provider name.:(

However, regarding Blueline 3.0, there is one comes with this latest PLi image but not "3.0" its "2a", you can find it under downloads from the OSD menu.
