    TM800 Fact or fiction!

    As the release date for this receiver was originally July 2009, then Sep 2009, then Dec 2009, then Feb 2010, then March 2010, then May 15 2010 is it a real receiver or fiction .
    Latest release date to suppliers was May 15th and after speaking to Digidude they are still not here. They were meant to be ready for despatch from suppliers for Mon 17 May.
    Now TM may physically hold the stock, but if they are still not working with sw/images 100% they can't release them.
    I may be wrong and often am , But I will be suprised if a working model turns up for despatch 17 May.
    Why have no images/tools etc been pre released for this model yet?
    Where is it on there web page? This is all they have posted-
    "TM-800 HD Linux
    24th April 2010
    The TM-800 HD has unfortunately been delayed due to recent events and may therefore take up to another 15 days for release. We apologise for the inconvenience caused."


    According to them 15 days from 24 april, which would of made release date 9 May!
    Another date missed.

    I for one would not touch it when it does come out until all the public beta testers have finished paying for the privelage of testing it for them .

    Still it may turn up yet, or is it a WMD job hehe.

    Anyway thats my rant over hehe.

      I was so looking forward to this box but I've lost patience with it being released and bought an original DM500HD instead (which I am more than happy with.)

      I'm sure it will be a good box when it's finally out and the images are well established.

      It's just really a case of when we will this be ?

      If this box doesn't appear before the world cup I think TM would have dropped a major clanger !

        @ Manic01...

        How many forums have you copied and pasted this anti-Technomate propaganda into?

        Go play with your Spiderbox and shut up.

          Why dont you piss off, I have tm1500/5300/5400/600 what do you have.
          I post on here along with digidude, we copy and paste our stuff because it's easier.
          I am not anti tm, quite the opposite, but got fed up waiting for new tm800.
          If you dont like my threads, dont ~~~~ing read them.

            Fanboy.

            You're doing all in your power to play down the TM800HD.

            You're nothing more than a sellout, promoting Bobi's Spiderbox simply because he gave you one for free. Your views are null and void mate.

              And you are a *****, ask digidude who I really am before making absurd statements.
              I was the one who got both boxes for me and Digidude to try out.
              And we both told Darkman we would write honest reports.ie if the box was crap we would say so.
              It wasn't.
              I still rave about my TM600 which has never let me down, always been stable.
              I use spiderbox now because its HD no other reasons as I dont need the gift.
              At the end of the day the spiderbox is good but this was about the TM800 and the date for release being put back 10 months in total.
              Don't get your facts messed up.

                Technomate have lost a lot of cred due to the balls up they've made with this release and I for one "wont" be getting one.I've comented on this before and have got a DM800 instead and I'm happy with that.
                Wheres the Techmomates S/W comming from????
                The company arent doing themselves any favours so I'm not bothered but do like an online arguement.

                  They have an open PLI image, which I expect will be good to be honest.
