Considering Purchasing the ET9200

[Im85288]

Been following this Thread and the one on WOS with regards the PQ using ViX image. I have been one of those people that only ever had the ViX image on my ET9000 as for me it did everything I could hope for, but out of curiosity I finally installed the HDF Image yesterday and I think the HD picture quality seemed to be better...I have the last Pioneer Kuro KRP TV so I feel that that TV is of a high enough quality to show the differences.

It is of course really hard to know for sure, so I may try switching back and forward a couple more times before making a final decision.

One thing that did annoy me yesterday with the HDF image (and something I never had with ViX) was when I accessed the network browser to mount my NAS it green screened and went in an infinite loop of restarting...this was a real pity as I was just starting to warm to it.

Im8528, i too have the Pioneer 50in plasma and you're right the picture quality is not as nice with the Vix image and i have had the receiver for 3 months now to know for sure. Have you tried the new release of the Xtrend image released a week ago?

Thanks satlover, good to have another opinion on this..so far I have only tried the HDF v4.7 image, but I will give the new Xtrend image v5 a try tonight.

Yet another person that has noticed a difference in PQ on another image...... yet it is all in my head and I talk nonsense.

p.s. satlover not forgot about you things came up but will do a late night with my receiver the night

Ok, I just installed the latest CTv5 image and the PQ is clearly better.

Just need to find a decent skin from the reposistory now, any ideas. I want something like the Vix skin!

midnight rider i am so glad to read you agree with us!!! its so annoying to be told that its all in our head!!! HD picture quality on the Vix image if i'm honest is shite and no better than SD on other receivers! Garry....thanks mate i appreciate it!

Is it really worth it?

Its going to function in the same manner, same images at the rest of the ET9x00 series. Flash memory that lets face it will never get used to its full.

I want so see a Android satellite receiver that can run cam's now in my opinion that is the direction satellite receivers should be going in now.

Well its out for pre-order from one online retailer @?359 certainly worth the extra ?40 over the 9200 if you where looking for another receiver.

I live in Germany, but paid on an English card and it cost 266 pounds after conversion.
V5 image works pretty well, once you sort out how to get CCcam working and the Picons in the right folder.

m8 i paid ?354 in the uk for mines about 3/4months ago so you got a real good deal for a good receiver,even adding 20 euros for postage to uk its still a good deal wish i had seen the ad eariler
