"Of course there will be an Idiot Guide"

Cants wait for this. Problem is i am a complte idiot so will be a great test. I was thinking of buying a linux box and at present my only experince is with technomate so have a lot to learn. Depending on how idiot proof your guide is i will decide to either go for a dm800 hd or this the qbox hd

The quality of the guide depends not only on me but also all users that contribute. you can check out the idiot guide in the dreambox section, that will give you a good idea.
One thing to keep in mind: The Qbox won't be that more easy or difficult than the DM800, it does however have the extra components such as wifi and the built in Diablo modul which means a bit more things to play with.

For me, this is a good thing as I like to play with it. I am bored with my old Dreambox, there is not that much more I can do with it that I haven't already tried.

I can't see that there is going to be a problem sorting the box out instruction wise, there are enough good people around who a re willing to explain stuff - this is what the forum is all about.
The big test however is going to be how good are the images developed by the various groups. If the initial tests and reviews are good, and some of the established image makers are going to work on this then this box is going to be a hit.

Hopefully Qbox will be well supported as this will put pressure on the price of the DM8000, £864.99 - crazy, IMHO DMM are taking the mickey.

I wanna see QboxHD -v- AZBox HD head-to-head shoot out similar spec and price but no Diablo in AZbox.


AZ box on youtube.

Yeah, search this forum before ordering. Also, the box is NOT available at the moment, so no need to order yet. It will not be before middle of February, and it is worth waiting to see how the software develops.

As far as hardware goes, it looks good. Hopefully the software will come along to make the best of it.

Its pretty ugly though :( It looks like a bad trip form the early nineties :).

Good to see that DMM have some decent competition though, that's good for all of us.

I don't think any cams work with this very basic image. We will have to wait for an update.

Lol I think it is actually white and the flash makes it turn blue. There are several colours available, see pictures. I think I probably would take the all black one (seen it in the youtube video), but it's a matter of taste anyway. More interested in the performance, can't wait for a new image to come out.

Perhaps if you spell it out then people would not have to guess what you mean and you would get an answer, what do you mean by the word proper?
