Azbox & HD to stop support.......

[alunfennell]

The Azbox team have anounced that they are to stop support for all current models presently on sale including HD models, here is the press release...

From now on the beta test area is closed!
We support from now on not further the Abzockerpraktiken of Opensat and Impex!
These companies are anxious only to pull the money from the pocket to the users with scrap metal!!
The last software renewals were only a cosmetics improvement of the sales policy of the og companies to good came!
This Board cannot be stretched further for these methods before the cart!!
Fakt is that this box becomes anyhow no more wide supportet, because long time ago a new model is in the planning
Only the stock should be emptied by Impex and at the expenses of the customers!!
I do not take part in this little play!!!!
AZBOX SUPPORTFORUM

So anyone interested in this receiver should probably look at other Ip releated receivers and stay away from the AZBOX ..

Thank Guys,

Yeah Alshit are banging them out at the moment of coures....(they would )... I wonder if all of this was Known about over the past few monts because I have been getting Sales emails regarding this receiver quite a lot, It looks like dealers are trying to clear out there stock before there left with door stops ! or receivers without any support.....

And from what I gather from AZbox support teams post above they are happy to leave customers continuing to buying them & suffer on without further support ! nasty if you bought one on the strength of its support....

Jackpot good time to cancel that order M8 & Fast ! Im glad I posted it so I was between two minds !

Alun

I realy dont know what has happened but you might have it it on the head ! trouble with card companys would seem a very likely, it would seem to me that somewhere along the way this has been expected, at least by the dealers or importers ...

A good message for us all ! do not be tempted to buy Cheap or inferior brands this is exactly what can happen left with a empty tin box under the Tv... makes for a good door stop Mmmmh

Great update Alun, I kept wondering why I wasn't hearing more about these boxes because they seemed like such a good deal. Ha, looks like I'll be sticking to DM

[.: JaCkPoT :.]

OK, Update to ALUN and whoever else is interested. My uncle is actually not going to suspend his order, i dont know why, i have told him and he has read everything being posted here, but the youtube player etc seems to be luring him.
Can someone actually tell me what actually works on the receiver? i have heard that the CXCam doesnt run well either. Bad times.

tell him to get a laptop or an iPhone if he wants to watch Youtube

There is a plugin for youtube on E1 on a Dreambox ! AZbox is not the only receiver than can do this .......

think there will be a lot of people pi$$ed off by this news, i know if i had just bought one i would be....

great info thanks alun

[.: JaCkPoT :.]

Can you upload the plugin for me alun please. The Nabilo server is down. Where can i find it?

[aftermath]

I have a mate who has one of these Premium HD AZboxes and has tested the HD channels on 1w , all work 100%.

Seems the reports are coming from Germany.

My mate is gonna test some more HD stuff later for me. so i will post the results in here.

Its a shame as it looks like a nice little box.

So i guess if it is very true about losing the HD support then the IPbox is deffo gonna take off more, at least the HD contend works fine on them.

Nice One Alun, nice post

here m8


Youtubeplayer for dreamboxes (600pvr and 7020) with openembedded enigma1 images.

The plugin will ask for libcurl.so.3. But the attached libcurl.so.2 will be ok - change the name to libcurl.so.3 and ftp to /usr/lib and chmod 755.

The plugin .so and .cfg to /usr/lib/tuxbox/plugins and chmod 755 for the .so.

The .xml file to /etc/tuxbox/config.

Tested with vlc media player 0.8.6a and XP Pro

I've seen this on other forums and its just the beta testers are not doing their job correct so Opensat has binned them, the box is still under development from opensat

well I hope they are I'm one on the burgers that bought one,
