hi folks, i have a tm5402hd, ive been told its a closed source box, what exactly does that mean and what are its limitations?

[Manic01]

Its limited to external plugins.

[sharper71]

whilst a appreciate the response unfortunatly im still none the wiser, what are external plugins?

[Manic01]

Things like cross epg etc.

[sharper71]

your having a laugh! im as green as they come the extent of my knowledge extends to switching it on and off ( sometimes i even forget to do that!)

[Manic01]

Google linux/dreambox plug ins then.
