    Not until OpenViX image is released. At the moment we don't even have a sample to even test OpenViX.

    The one i want is 2xsat-1xT2/C which i have been looking at in the link provided by WOS.
    It also states this:
    "THIS LISTING INCLUDES 1X DUAL / TWIN SATELLITE TUNER MODULE (SLOT 1) + 1x DUAL / TWIN HYBRID DVB-C/T/T2 (SLOT 2 1X TUNER DETECTED)"

    So does this mean i could actually swap the moduals over and make it into 2xT2/C-1xSat, As slot 1 recognizes 2 tuners and slot recognizses 1 tuner.

    I would also like the vix image, but i would probably get one and wait for the vix image to be released.
    Unless twol knows some thing wedon,t lol

    Just pre-ordered this box.

    I've been reading that the tuners also handle well KA band frequencies so I've also ordered the Inverto KA_KU band LNB to put on my 1.2 motorised dish although I have have no idea what KA stuff I'll be able to pull in but this is the excitement for me.

    Its kind of interesting because Mutant on teh HD51 have just changed the DVB-S2 tuner firmware to cover PLS-multistream and wideband

    Also say marginal transponders should be better, so I will be running a comparison between the HD51 and SF4008
