A famous person, Abraham Lincoln I think it was, once said

you can please all of the people some of the time, and you can please some of the people all of the time. But you cannot please all of the people all of the time...

With this in mind, subjective opinion such as "commando is crap", whilst it hurts, is really water off a duck's back...

Renwich, LraiZer, Satsearching and myself shall continue enjoying our hobby, by devoting hundreds of hours of our free leisure time in continueing development of neutrino Commando, and sharing it freely with the wider DM500S community, for free.

Yes, OpenPLi DM500S is a good image. Just bear in mind that it's as good as it ever gets, because all PLi dev (and Rytec E1 EPG support) stopped dead in it's tracks on E1 back in April 2009.

Cheers- AL

I dont think thats quite true, I just been on OpenPLi website and there has been a build for the 7 feb 2012 for the 500

I use openpli on 500 and 800 its not a bad image, stable to, i havent had an image so far which is as stable.

Ive had a dm 500 clone for nearly 2 years now never had any trouble with it and fine running on pli image boxes can be picked up cheap under ?50 and an easy starter box to learn with. And if u need any help setting it up more people will beable yo help on here with dm 500 than a less well known box.

builds are automated, 7 feb 2012, OR 7 feb 2010... same image!
apart from their automation that updates the satellites.xml in the image, its not really been touched in years.

Correct, apparts from a couple of basic updates taken from ukcvs....

I wouldn't call them basic updates exactly, Satsearching. And I wouldn't say that Team PLi 'took' them, exactly, m8. They needed quite a bit of persuading if you remember...

First, there was your revelation on how they could activate tun.ko support in the kernel, so that the OpenVPN plugin could finally be got working in OpenPLi. This has been in all nightly builds ever since.

Followed not long after by LraiZer's vastly improved RadioTimes EPG script, which is available in the downloads panel. But yes- UkCvs certainly believe in sharing!!

Maybe a total coincidence that they also added analogue clock support a few weeks after it was commited to ukcvs???

But yup, it is all about sharing, totally agree, as crap as we are.

Commandos a great image for the 500, gets better with every release. Personally I think think the ukcvs guys are doing a fantastic job. Just to bring the image back to life from the old cable Dbox days and get it working on the 500S is a big achievement in itself...before the EPG functionality is even mentioned..
B16MCC has also addded funcitionality into hus UK services database tool to produce commando format neutrino bouquets in the latest releases so even better. That was one thing that kept me on E1 images the ease of being able to use DBedit for bouquets etc..
Kepp up the good work guys.

[SatSearching]

Well, the next crap version will be out very soon.
