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 HDmakes 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

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 .

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.
