I ordered a TM500 but after struggling to flash I realised it is a TM500 super so needed a different image.
What is the difference between the two boxes, looking online I can see that the TM500 super can be bought very cheaply.

Thanks

Super has the more sensitive tuner, I think.

Yea you need to flash the TM600 image to it, confused me at the start after flashing a TM500 the day before these arrived.

It has more flash memory than the normal TM500 and possibly more RAM, I looked it up but can't remember exactly, it's more of a TM600 without native PVR capabilities (although I have set one of mine up to be a PVR using a networked HDD)

Either way, you got the best receiver out of the two, with my only gripe being IMO the 500 looks better than the 500super.
